Jon's Cache

A friendly reminder to be careful when you’re decluttering... Some folks at church were clearing out some items in the kitchen. I asked them to save anything vintage looking so I could take a look at it and sell it for the church. These vintage Fire King mugs sell for $40-50 each on eBay and there were about 40 mugs. Easy to miss since it’s just a mug. Also, think of donating to your local thrift stores if you have some unique and/or quality items. They always appreciate the extra merchandise. If you’re in the Hurst area some good choices would be: Thrift For Good, Ltd., JNJ'S Vintage, and Mission Central Thrift Store. Happy de-cluttering!

It’s hard to get lost when you have a truck full of globes and maps...
