Some new things you should know about.

Our favorite new old thing at the north store in Andersonville.  1940's classroom handwriting roll down chart.  Super rare.  30" x 40" - $350

Bell Jar full of 900 anagrams, scrabble tiles,  and game pieces. 

Not for sale. tee hee hee.

It's a mystery why this amazing bird mobile is still in the store.  20 vintage dye cut American birds silently spinning above people's heads at the front counter.  

Guess people don't look up.   $45

Vintage 1988 Russian Periodic Table. Yes, 1988 is vintage.  It's enormous! 36" X 46"  

Shrink wrapped and ready to frame for $90. 

Buyer receives 15% off any in store custom framing needs.

I made some Men and Women bathroom signs from some cool plastic marquee letters I  had lyin' around.  I mounted them on a cool espresso suede.  They sit on a table or hang on a wall. And if you're really loose, you could stick one outside your door in your apartment building indicating what sex you'd like to enter.  men-$24/ women-$28

One of our new card favorites are these "stamp" note cards.  Comes with a real art stamp sealed in a clear sleeve on the front of the card.  $10 from Johnathan Wright Cards.  You may say, "Wow that's kinda expensive".  When you see them you will understand.  Letter press and very hand made.   Not the kind of thing you'll be seeing at Walgreens anytime soon, which is fine with us.

Made some neighborhood pieces for the locals here in Andersonville. 

Made from an old card game and custom framed. 

uptown-$45 / aville-$80
