Love that printer's drawer (and your comment that you have nowhere to put it, lol). That McCoy planter is unique - I've never seen one like it, but the scottie dog was popularized after FDR so I bet it's super old. My Panoply sisters and I participated in a community yard sale in May, and we had several people ask us if we had photo albums, so there still must be those who want them. Congrats on your feature on Dagmar's blog!<br />RitaRita C at Panoplyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17351306074493103021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-43158786070320363792015-06-29T20:18:43.532-07:002015-06-29T20:18:43.532-07:00The printer's drawer is awesome!

You got ALL amazing treasures! I am from NY originally, you know. That happened here in my neck of the woods too; a home goods kind of store closed it's doors 10 years ago and I still miss it to this day.<br />You and I wish things so hard that somehow vibrations conspire all around us so we can find just what we were looking for, as you with the lovely shandy. I've had a couple of experiences like that. I wished for a red transferware teaset with teacups that was sold to someone when I fell in love with it. Then almost 3 days ago I find just such a teaset with 12 teacups, saucers and cake plates!!! Lol..<br />Have a great weekend ahead my friend.<br />FABBY<br />FABBY'S LIVINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18027781738558115533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859377925928604245.post-52759061643124040852015-06-28T06:36:40.374-07:002015-06-28T06:36:40.374-07:00oh dear!

Although I have heard that since the Goodwill opened a few years ago it is harder for the Thrift stores to get "good stuff" it all goes to the Goodwill instead. It is always so sad when a favorite shop closes though. I am envious of your printers tray.

I have collected for 30+ years. Is that why sales are declining? The donations coming into VOA will have to go somewhere else. I donate to a small church sponsored thrift store that benefits people struggling in my area. It's easier to give up things I hate parting with to them.

I did hear that so many "things" will be hitting the market for the next decade or so as the "Baby Boomers" start to part with their homes and start downsizing or going into nursing homes. Sad to think about but maybe the market could get saturated and prices will drop. Good for collectors!
