And More Second Hand Store in Trail

Changes and updates for the And More Second Hand Store in Trail.
As many of you know, Ron has been slowly moving toward Retirement and leaving the Store to explore new horizons. This shift has now been completed and Ron is ostensibly fully retired from the Store (except for special assignments like tool buys). I am sure we all wish him well in his new endeavors.
I, on the other hand, am looking forward to a further 2 or 3 years at the Store, with some outside help coming in each week. There might be some small changes in the way things are done but on the whole, there will be no changes. One change ‘might’ be morning opening at 10 am. Instead of 9 am. Any changes will be posted on our page. Hopefully another change will be some our inventory being listed on a new Store Website and cross Canada on-line sales will be supported with the items chosen being shipped to the buyer.
On a personal note, the Landlord of our home has notified us that he will be moving his mother into the house. So by April 2027 the 2 elderly cats and I will be looking for new accommodation, hopefully in walking distance to the Store. I have successfully lived in shared situations in the past and enjoy the comradery. If anyone may have thoughts toward this, please contact me at the Store.
Thank you all for supporting our little Store over the past 8 years and I look forward to continuing to share nifty finds with you over the coming years.

Time to get indoor plants and bulbs ready for Winter. An old ironing board makes the best planting bench.
Most of these Amaryllis will be growing in our And More Second Hand Store in Trail over the Winter. Be sure to stop by often and watch their progress.

PICTURE LEDGES - A new way to display your pictures and other treasures.
Why put your precious pictures in a closed photo album that just sits on a bottom shelf or cupboard. Display these where you, your family and guests can see and enjoy them readily.
Over time pictures can be swapped out, sharing more memories.
Stop by the And More Second Hand Store in Trail and choose a selection of empty frames of various sizes. Then decide which pictures you will put into which frame and get them printed to that size.
Rearrange or swap out as often as you like.
A great way to display choice pictures without putting numerous nail holes in your walls.

I need to take more care while getting our Christmas things out of Storage. True Vintage (means made long ago) is often copied by Retro (made now, copying truly old).

VINTAGE 101 LESSON:

Let’s talk about SHINY BRITE! These masterpieces originated in the late 1930s in Germany by ornament maker Max Eckardt. To make them last longer and keep them shinier than other ornaments on the market, he coated the glass with silver nitrate. At the beginning of World War II, Eckardt moved company to America and success soon followed. Because they were so popular he partnered with Corning Glass Company to keep up with demand. In 1939 alone, Woolworth’s ordered 235,000 ornaments—and sold them for just two cents each. By the mid 40s, SB was producing 300K ornaments per day! And the trend continues!!
