Going . . . Going . . . But Not Yet Gone

Here are some pics we took of our Big Sale the weekend AFTER the first weekend we had it. The first weekend was claustrophobic—you could hardly move through the basement.

Yes, yes. I had intentions of photographing every shelf of books and plays and household decor so I had a keepsake of all we were giving up. But the night before our first sale day, I was still in the basement at 3:30 in the morning trying to price items. Never finished. Picking up the camera didn’t cross my mind.

Our customers frequently asked about “our store.” With such an eclectic array of items, surely we were liquidating a business. Were we going to open another store in Kentucky? One couple asked if they’d stepped into a theatre’s prop storage. Lots asked when our next sale would be.

Nope. Nope. And never.

We have enough left over to hold another sale, but we’re all saled out. We have some valuable items we’re trying to sell on Ebay and Craigslist, but outside of those, everything else will be donated.

If you know of someone (or an organization) looking for old film reels and canisters, or plays, or books, or camping equipment, or press camera accessories, or lamp bases, or vintage hats, or a Victorian pram, send them our way. Everything’s priced to move.
