It's My Business.....

As some of you may know, I am a 'collector'. Notice I said

'collector' and not hoarder! I have been doing so for over

20 years. Our basement is FULL! And I mean FULL!

A couple of weeks ago I heard of a place in Halifax in which one

could lease a small (or large) area and set up your business.

For the past couple of years I have been looking for a viable

place in which to sell all the stuff I have bought over the years.

And this place looked like a good place to give it all a try. And I did.

It's called Plan B Halifax Merchants Co-op. And there are about 60 

other 'retailers' set up there. It is very eclectic from taxidermy to

mid-century collectibles/furniture which is my main 'theme'.

Thus our name: Mid-Century Maniac

So a week ago I began to unpack the cases in the basement.

It took a week to unpack half of it. And I was really surprised,

if not a little intimidated at all the things I have gotten over the years.

I had forgotten about a lot of it.

So here is our tiny 'set up' (for now) with mostly 50's kitchen

paraphernalia. A good start. Now to get to the other half

of the basement! It was my plan to do something like this

after I had retired....that was the whole point on the collecting.

And since it is 'retirement' in which we find ourselves, 

this has given us a good focus after a few years of

dealing with 'health concerns'.

Excuse me, as I have another box to unpack.......
