Years ago (close to ten years, I think) I bought a Colorforms ad from the 1960's that had been pulled out of a magazine. I think I also bought a Slinky ad from roughly the same era. I had them framed for display in my office. I then lost them when I moved to Seattle. *sigh*

I like somewhat 'eerie' antique dolls.
Here are two that I am currently selling:
I used to keep tarantulas but not anymore.

Four oompa loompa wigs for our Willy Wonka themed prom in May. I have purchased a few gag gifts out of the weird and strange category, but I don't remember what they were.

If I bothered with a tree that would be the tree.

No I don't shop/sell on ebay at all. We are seriously running out of living and storage space at home. Nowadays when I buy new book (average only 1 per month now) or magazine, it is noticeable where we are. Originally Posted by SlowButSteady

What do you do with the childcraft encyclopediae?

I'm decluttering as the remodel winds down. Recently I Craigs'isted a box full of nails and a kick plate-the single strip of wood at the base of cabinet.
Also Craigs'd (is that a word?) a sewing machine table a neighbor threw out which was actually kinda nice. I could have re-finished that but just no room. The gal who picked up the table was very happy.
I was surprised that anyone would want nails
but that went to a gal who's starting the remodel adventure.
