In Spite Of All That Taxes Us!

WOW, what an April we are having! This isn't suppose to happen at TAX TIME! What are we doing to enjoy this most precious gift...the gift of sales. Are we suddenly more attentive, better organized or sporting a broader smile? Perhaps, we have been appointing our showroom with just the right selection of home furnishings and decorative accessories? Maybe I should just relax and enjoy the benefits for which so many others could not manage to hold out?


A good business means different things to different people. Some may associate "a good business" as one that only carries exactly what they want, like a green handled, 1930's spatula or slightly rotted, 6 board chest with snipe hinges and the original paint flaking off to the touch? Others may be impressed by a ginormous array of cut, crystal stemware and brass candlesticks (some push-ups and some converted pig scrapers) or 4 complete sets of 1920-40's mahogany bed room sets?

Whatever the perception of any particular person as to what makes "a good business" they all would likely agree that their favorite business needs to be there when they are ready to visit and do some heavy browsing, collecting and buying. Which leads me back to my original point. Thanks to all for this most unexpected and welcomed April. Because we, unlike all those shops that were unable to survive the last couple of years, have been blessed by the good graces of those who thought we happened to have exactly what they wanted!
