I seek out cast offs, collectibles and certain antiques because I find them fun and interesting. I like to have things just like other people. However, I prefer to not have clutter. Therefore, I could not be a traditional "hoarder" at all. I buy an item, enjoy it for a bit, show it off perhaps and then offer it up to someone else. Thus far I have not stuck to the rule of one thing in and one thing out quite like I should but I'm close.
We have sold to people all over the world. (I had two shops here on Etsy. The other was called "Weirdsville"). We have sold to movie, television and stage play folks. We have sold to artists and photographers. And, obviously, we have sold to collectors. It's good fun and we are glad to be able to share.
I buy it and let it go. It's the best way!
And, as an aside, I am actually Michael. Marlon is a name that I have had for 30 or so years for reasons unknown.
Thanks for looking at the shop.
