ATLANTIC CITY - ROLLING CHAIRS
My blog banner says, "wherever the ride goes" and I swear I never know what that will be.

It was rainy an...

I LOVE YOU SOUPY SALES
Soupy Sales is dead. Long live Soupy. When I was in high school in the 1960's I'd rush home every day to watch Soupy Sales on TV. Although it was supposed to be a kid's show, he never failed to crack me up. This was a show that was oustide the box, or maybe completely inside the box, since Soupy...
Hi Rebecca,
I do not have a store anymore, and have no more metal dollhouses.
You can still sometimes find them on eBay, or at yard sales. Good luck. They're great.

When Oprah Winfrey interviewed President and Michelle Obama on December 13, she asked the First Lady what had been her favorite Christmas gift as a child. Mrs. Obama said it was a tin dollhouse with plastic furniture. Hello! I have four of them in the store, and several times each day customers ...
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Petra,
Gosh, so sorry. I don't know anything about hair mannequins, and I cannot think of anyone who would. I'm not sure I even know what a hair mannequin is.
If you have the names of some of the manufacturers you could write to them. You might get a lead there, or at least have an interesting conversation.
Thanks for stopping by.
