It is time for nesting! We can help!
Greetings!
The temperature is dropping outside and now is the time to prepare for the next few months when many of us will be spending much of our time indoors! Chilly weather and the holidays coming soon - a great time to nest and make your home more comfortable for you, your families and guests. We are here to help! We have a store full of items to spruce up your home!
In preparation for your holiday meals, we have placed all of our china on sale at 25% off! Our prices are already 50-75% off of the Replacements.com price. What a deal! See article and coupon below!
I have received many positive responses about our collection stories. The last story about Norm and his Zippo lighter collection led my brother Ed to call me & tell me he collected Zippo lighters at one time, and wished he still had his collection. (Things I never knew about my own brother!!) Many of you have promised to share stories, but this time I decided to tell you more about one of George's collections: Pez. Read more about it below. A lie is what started his collection - but it hasn't stopped him! Will it stir that collecting spirit in you? Will it kindle your desire to share your stories? One thing I learned: people who collect often have more than one collection! With that in mind, share as many stories as you have!! I want as many stories as I can get!

Who Pez? George Pez! But he didn't get the true story!
I told you in a recent newsletter about George's obsession with Pez. It all started when he heard the story about how ebay got started. The story goes like this: the creater of ebay - Pierre Omidyar - created the online auction site to help his fiancee trade Pez. As it turns out, the story is not true! Mary Lu Song was the ebay's first full time employee and inventor of the Pez story, also known as the "eBay creation myth." In 1997, Mary Lou Song was frustrated that reporters weren't interested in writing about the small online auction site, so she began telling reporters that Pierre Omidyar had created eBay to help his fiancee trade Pez. It worked - reporters loved the story, so she kept telling it. George thought the story was true till I told him otherwise (he learned that just today... he is crushed). Anyhow- this bit of news (although untrue) led George to catch the Pez collecting bug! The picture below is a small sampling of Pez that we have for sale in the store. George's personal collection is much larger - and not yet displayed in our home. Where it will go I am not sure yet. The rarest Pez in his collection is "Pony Go Round" which sells for $200, has no feet, and is from ~1960. He has Pez items that are not even in the Pez book - like the "Olympic Snowman" ceramic piece. He also has a Pez "Peace Pipe". Who would have thunk it? He still buys new ones everytime we are out shopping - and buys three everytime he finds a new one: one he opens up for his own personal collection, one he keeps in package to keep, and one he puts in the store for sale. Start your collection today! It is addicting! Come see, come buy!

China....
Holiday meals are special occasions! This is a great time to add those extra touches that help to make the day extraordinary. Adding china to your table does just that! What is your color palate? Is it pale blue and gray like the Noritake Lorene pattern pictured bottom right? Do the romantic colors of pink rose and gray scrolls in W S George's Flower Rim pattern tickle your fancy like the pattern bottom left? Or perhaps you want to play middle of the road and settle on a classic pattern like the White with Platinum Hutschenreuther pattern pictured below middle. Either way, now is the time to buy because the savings are huge! Our china is already priced at 50-75% of the Repacements.com price, but we are helping you make it possible by providing you with a coupon to save another 25%!! Geez Louise!!! What a deal! Come see! Come buy!

It's not too late to volunteer to help us uncover the hidden treasure!!
Did you know we have a community park right on the waterfront in downtown Havre de Grace? It might be hard to find because it is covered in brush and weeds right now. We are putting together a community effort to clean up the park so we can all walk out on this valuable peninsula and enjoy our waterfront!
We are still looking for volunteers to help clean up the park on subsequent Saturdays: November 7th, and 14th. We will be meeting around 9am and working thru the day. Please sign up by emailing us at bahoukas@verizon.net . Tshirts with bragging rights will be given to all of the volunteers that sign up in advance, before October 30th. We will also provide lunch for the volunteers, so let us know you are coming and we will feed you while you are here. Come join us in this rewarding project!! Thanks!! Looking forward to seeing you there!
