Visit our new layout and browse the Silent Auction.

We've finished selecting the 36 items for our December Silent Auction. The collage below features most of them, and you can see more on our Silent Auction web gallery:



Our big rearrangement is mostly done (always a few details left!!), so this is a great week to check out the Silent Auction, which ends Friday, December 23 at 4 pm.

The GWTW Lamp Goes Chimeric

Here's a happy update to a recent post. Cynthia brought in an interesting piece of lamp that fits perfectly on the vintage parlor lamp base.

Here we've set a small cup with a tealight on the existing socket, but you could use a standard-base decor light bulb.
What do you think?

Action Industries is a funny name for a rocker recliner...

...because once you sit down...

...pull the hand-lever to put your feet up...

...and then push back to fully recline...

...the only action is the closing of your eyelids and your peaceful breathing.

These chairs have supported many happy dreams, and are looking for a new home in which to serve.

Plush, teal upholstery is in great condition. (Photo flash in last picture created highlights that are not areas of wear.)

Action Industries is the manufacturer of this pair of rocker/recliners. Gently used, $75 each or $125 for the pair.
