David MaCallum, Corn Dryer, and a Granite Funnel
It seems my weeks of cleaning, dusting, and rearranging my shop paid off. Although I make it a point to do thi several times a year and when room must be made, I tend to neglect what I call the kitchen area, that is until one surfing excursion on the internet when I stumbled upon a blog from a delighted customer who bought an unusual glass container with a Turkey stopper lid. Her comment that the piece needed a major bath chided me into some heavy duty cleaning. Now it seems that everything (almost anyway) is being seen in a new and cleaner light (all the ceiling fans and fixtures received a bath too). Three items that I have had in my shop since opening day, left the store with three different contented people. A black and white vintage Man from Uncle photo of David McCallum left first - a Christmas gift for a sister of a customer who eyed it the week before. The iron corn dryer, with dangerous points went to a collector and the funnel to his uncle who loved my shop and couldn't stop talking and complimenting - which really made my day!
