UNSUCCESSFUL YARD SALE ITEM


GIFT OF THE RED BIRD

Homemade? 

HORSE WITH A HUMAN FACE

Or is she wearing make-up?

MACRO VIEW OF THE MICROSCOPE

After working in the Gift House for awhile, you start to see patterns. The unopened toy microscope set is a common sight while every magic set is pulled apart and missing pieces. 

SEND IN THE CLOWNS

A person once had these hanging in the house.
Now you can bring them home and see what happens.

VINTAGE ROCKING BEACH CHAIR

Priceless. Spectacular. A classic. Even the color is perfect.
Just waiting for you. 

WHERE IS THE BONE IN BONE CHINA?

I never understood what the "bone" in bone china was about. But I can vouch that it keeps the tea warmer longer -- and this set of eight cups and saucers from England are fantastic. Not one chip! 

POPCORN POPPER

The best kind!

NETS, NETS & MORE NETS

A fisherman is calling it quits -- and brought in all his nets. They won't last long!

TIME TRAVEL SALTINES

Time travel item. A crowd gathered at the Gift House. Nobody could remember how long ago these cracker tins were used -- or what point Nabisco stopped bothering to make them.  Bring them back!

THE FONDUE CURE

Un-desirable house guests? This devilishly clever contraption arrived in the Gift House in February -- and has just returned! The Fondue Cure works every time. Serve steaming-hot melted cheese on a humid August evening and your house guests won't need any more veiled hints. It's like an ant bait trap. They just won't come back!  

OLYMPIC DARTS!

If you feel like being "athletic" while watching still watching TV. 
Even sports a British theme!
