I am getting to love this cupboard, made with a rich brown wood. It takes a little shifting around to get a picture of it, I have to say! Again, given my laziness, I'm not sure what's here. Lower right, a pin? Surely that's some lovely beads next to it? I know some of those silver buttons are still here, and I see a fascinating chunky necklace all the way to the left.
Here we have another contest between night skies: above a lovely jumble of beads to the left; below, another jumble to the left of a much more refined nature, but is it as much fun? I vote for fun! 
See that doll just below, peering out from the second shelf? I have a collection of Storybook Dolls--trying to replace some I lost as a child. That doll with the lovely hat, OK, so she's not a Storybook Doll, but she is tempting! I wonder if my dolls would stick up their noses at her. There's also some lovely Depression Glass to the right on the top shelf, and that wonderful Army Coffee Pot is still there. Waiting for the price to come down? At any price, it's a winner! 
Below a silly, stern bear, overseeing his territory. Little brown bear to the right seems to be in awe, sitting so close to His Majesty! The bear has quite a territory; look at all the things on display. There's a great pair of ceramic ears of corn that was hiding before, but now out in full view.
That duck, poor fellow, doesn't belong here. He belongs on a shelf in a child's room in a lake place in Minnesota or Wisconsin. I come from both states: born in one and moved to the other and believe me I know!
Some really great things on the Dollar Rack this week. It's a wonder they could squeeze them all in!
We have here somethings new, somethings old--all together in a fetching cupboard. Don't you love words? Like the word cupboard: a board where you keep cups? I think "board" was a term once for a cupboard, which brings this silly couple of sentences full circle. Here we keep a lot more. Look and see if anything suits your fancy. I've been eying that green dish down on the bottom shelf.
Cupboards sometimes hold plates and bowls and shiny things, which I love. What is it about shiny things? You want to hold them up and look at yourself in them? A kid would do that. I'd actually like to see a whole row of shiny stuff.
Our Books have been ignored lately and they want attention. (You notice, they capitalized themselves? Very vain are books.) Well, God Bless It, Books, you're hard to photograph so you can see all those titles! Besides, who would want a Book on Medicine, (OK I'm bowing down and capitalizing you) and old ones at that? Come on, you can do better than that. Oh, so you're good for research. OK, I can go with that.
More Books, Friends, and I can't tell what they are because I can't enlarge the picture until it's published and then I'm too lazy. That's why the Medicine Books got it. I could see them, but you notice, I'm still capitalizing them. They are so vain.
Below we have the Splendiforus Dollar Rack. I'm going to go for Spell Check sooooo fast. You try spelling Splendiforus! Blouses and shirts and maybe some pants and skirts? Well, I have to tell you. My spell check doesn't like Splendiforous. It thinks there's no such word. We know better, don't we? Hee Hee Hee. My spell check doesn't like Hee either but hey I love to make up words. That's how words happened, for Goodness Sake!
Although there are some wonderful things in view here, what I'm interested in are those buttons. Click on the picture and zoom in on them. They're left center. Beautiful, small, delicate probably silver, but don't quote me on that. 
Another view of the night sky, lovely, but what I like about the assemblage seen here is that way those necklaces have arranged themselves so artistically. Oh, I know the necklaces didn't really arrange themselves, but I like to think that. More fun.
I love this print. There are about five of these in the shop right now, another one to be seen shortly. If I had a phone I could find out the name of the artist. Right now our house is phone less unless my husband has hidden one away upstairs. We have already lost one phone, which is OK I guess but to lose two? I'm thinking we needed to get a new set of phones anyway.
This is one of the other prints by this nameless artist. One clue. His work hung in the Nut Tree Restaurant on Interstate 80, which may shortly be resurrected--at least that's what I've heard. Let's hope. The Nut Tree was a sure stop on Route 80. 
The Dollar Rack again is semi hiding behind the front counter, which is sporting a couple of flags. If you look carefully, bottom center you'll see a lamp sprawling flat, trying frantically to hide. I banished it and it's feelings are hurt.
The Dollar Rack disliked being in first position so much it deleted itself first time around. I soon convinced it to show itself again. It again has a host of good things! 
I am really backwards, Guys, but once you have the pictures loaded forget about changing them around. They're most stubborn. Trot into the kitchen room and you'll see this cupboard all the way to the front. I love that tray on the second from the bottom shelf. I've been eyeing it, actually. You're lucky it's still there.
Another artistic pleasure to enjoy. Look at those mugs on the top shelf and that dark frying pan perched so invitingly, second shelf from the bottom. I do like this shelf when it's in its artistic mood!
Come in from the kitchen room and you'll find this cupboard, all the way to the front. The October sale has cleared some things but some new things beckon!
I'm calling this the Pheasant Cupboard, in honor of the guy on the top shelf. He looks like a Pheasant. If he looks like a Pheasant, hey he's a Pheasant!
I have not featured this cupboard often, not knowing what to do with Pig who sits at the top and looks disdainfully at my efforts to include him and not leave anything off my picture. That is impossible so this shelf does not get the attention it deserves. Some if not all of these items are appraised, so expect to pay more for them.
