I have a collection of over-sized plastic clothes pins.
I was blissfully unaware of this fact, until I was straightening out the booth this week.
I highly suspect that some of you out there will not be surprised in the least at this fact.
Have I achieved "Eccentric Old Man Junker" Status yet?
I must be getting close.
Maybe I need more bed pans?

You gotta have heart!
I saw this at Goodwill and had to have it. It's a mini model of the heart.
Everything is labeled, and there's a little card to identify the various heart-parts.
It even shows the inside.
It's some kind of promo for a pharmaceutical I've never heard of, but it's also cool as heck. Which is why I wanted it. When I started my booth, one of the things I wanted to do was include as many things as I could for sale that were unlike anything anyone else in the Peddlers Mall had. One of the first items I bought to sell was a George W. Bush toilet scrubber. (Actually, it was on a free table at a yard sale.)
For three years (next month), I've continued that quest for the odd, unique, and interesting to sell. The "ed-clectic" if you will. I do have a few of the standard kinds of items here and there, but what brings people back to my space over and over is the other stuff. I know because customers tell me. I know because staff tell me. I know because other vendors tell me. I do my best, and I have a blast while doing it.
And I promise that you won't find any Danielle Steel books. Or unicorns. Or clowns. Definitely, no clowns.
But, you will find (soon) a heart model.
