It will soon be a year since I set up shop in my new booth.
Sales have been pretty good despite not advertising other than 
on Facebook.

My booth is pretty much an eclectic mix of primitive items, vintage collectibles, and gently used
 stuff I think someone else might love.

I have spent the last few months dreaming about making a living selling on Ebay. 
Hey, I know several folks who do just that!!!

Anyway, here's a peek at my booth.
