Shipping increases are killing me  ,  not to mention demoralizing me. If I raise prices people won’t buy…I’ve seen that in many cases already….., people think of me as The Dollar Tree artist. And nothing more. maybe I suck and i always  will….Of course , at their job ,they want a good size raise every year at least, but me….I have to keep my prices the same for 25 years..merry Christmas I think I will just quit..

i already had to close my retail shop at the Yellowstone  National Park Mini-Mall and Burn Center. The poor store manager, a lovely Native American lady named Face Like Pony was greatly saddened.

in September I closed my Sorrento Gift Shop at  the southern Arkansas Tri-Cities Regional Airport and Skeet Shooting Range. Sadly, my business never got off the ground.

 

 

 

i have posted a lot of new things but I am having trouble putting them in order so poke around ,if it says ‘add to cart’ then it’s for sale…if it says ‘sold’ then it’s not for sale.

im not taking any more Christmas orders… I’m out of gas.

People are killing each other over chicken sandwiches.

I guess the end really is near..

 

 

 

see the realism….?

I’ve worked with museums ,creating displays, all over the world.

 

 

 

Tojo Yamamoto …..great Memphis area Wrestler. He had the judo chop and he also had the hat with the metal brim that could kill you if he sailed it at you , like in Goldfinger via Odd Job… come back Tojo, there are so many here in Memphis now that need a ‘judo chop ‘

 

 

This is an ususual brand name but it’s real . GAY was an Atlanta company in the 50’s and 60’s that sold impulse items in drug stores, groceries ,  etc.  mainly in the south, on counter top cards, stuff like silver football keychains, combs, pens,  shoelaces and shown here , the ever popular 5 cent GAY pencil. It’s a big thick pencil. These cards were always displayed near the cash register.

If this was a Facebook I would already be condemned and threatened with death.

I also have a full Gay combs display card. Some of the GAY cards, if fully stocked, sell for a lot of money.

 

 

Long time ago I used to go in this old grocery

Easy Way and get the man at the meat counter to make me a

bologna sandwich. He wrapped it in white butcher paper and I got a coke and a bag of chips , all for

less than a dollar, then I went across the street to here

and ate on a bench. I don’t why you would care, it’s just a slow news day for me today…
