Hurry Before It's Gone

A little about me.

My e-commerce career began in 2011. Then in 2012 I found eBid. What a great find that was!

My All About page states: "Some people comb garage sales, flea markets, antique fairs and estate sales to find items to sell. I comb my attic, basement, cabinets and closets." It's true! I don't buy to re-sell. I just open a closet or cabinet and have a ready stock of things to list.

And just in case you were wondering who the "three generations of pack rats and their friends" are ... that would be my grandmother, my mother and myself. I am really working hard to break the cycle. And with the passing of my housemate's father, we have a whole new batch of treasures to sort through!

Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to stop by again soon. You never know what new item we have discovered to list.

Did you know that up until the 18th century cookbooks were used by the wealthy only?

Tracy Porter Evelyn was produced from 2001 to 2007. It is one of Tracy Porter's most appealing collections.

Evelyn captures both the delicacy and the exuberance of the natural world. Evelyn has a breezy, summertime ambiance. Each hand-painted piece offers a unique garden bounty of ripe raspberries scattered among sprays of delicate pastel flowers and unfurling vines. A subtle diamond pattern creates a tidy backdrop reminiscent of a backyard trellis. This cannister set would be a welcome addition to your kitchen or collection.

The canning process dates back to the late 18th century in France when the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, concerned about keeping his armies fed, offered a cash prize to whoever could develop a reliable method of food preservation.

Now for something a little different. These Mid Century Duck Bookends are beautiful and functional.
