BOUTIQUE @ the busy bee

Display Cabinet I have had a love affair with Pyrex most of my life.  I have kept many pieces and sold many pieces.   Right now vintage Pyrex is all the rage, with a certain magazine article encouraging people to sell at outrageous prices.  I do not believe in gouging others.  My goal is to make a profit, not a "killing".  I want to move inventory not collect dust in my booth or my family room for that matter. Americana Mixing Bowls SOLD My best find was at a garage sale last summer, two Americana mixing bowls.  I searched for months to complete the set.  I ended up purchasing the 401 on Ebay.  I heavily debated keeping these little gems, but ultimately sold them for a nice profit.

Wood Light Bulbs, Set of 4 $20.00 My favorite season is fall.  I love the cooler weather, the leaves changing color, the smell of wood fires, and most of all warm sweaters!  This season just seems to be overlooked now by the Christmas displays.
