THE HOLLYWOOD SQUARES GAME

Now you can play at home. Pretend you are Charles Nelson Reilly.

PET FART

This belongs with the farting wall clock that came in 3 years ago.

TRIXIE FROM DIXIE

Nothing like a clean collection of old vinyl
Do you want to hear "Trixie from Dixie?'


TIN? ALUMINUM? HECHO EN MEXICO

Little mirrors and picture frames from Mexico

Two Foot High Jack-o-Lantern

Arrived this morning!  It lights up. It might even talk.

8 TRACK TAPE PLAYER + TAPES

Beloved in Brooklyn. Joke no longer.

CAMPING CONTAINER

Brilliantly designed!  Stacked containers for food storage -- keeps everything dry and together. This was snagged by Rosie Hatch for beach cookouts after a day of surfing.

BACK IN ACTION

  We've kept open all winter long --- stuck to our hours.
  Friday - Tuesday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
  Come on down to the transfer station and have a look round.

 

GAMES YOU CAN'T BELIEVE

  Just when I thought I'd seen all the games in all the world . . .


MILKY HOBNAIL LAMP


Old timey. White. Hobnails. Looks moonlight fantastic when lit.
                    

VINTAGE BEYOND WILDEST DREAMS

 

Am I alone in my obsession with old cake decorations? Nothing lovelier than a rumpled, kooky cake with slightly uneven edges + quavery lines. Marvels of kitsch!




The Holiday that Never Ends

It is still with us in March
