Patty and I love to think of our shop as our playground. One of our favorite games we play is called “Give Me Some Credit”. It goes something like this: Every Saturday after we open up, Patty and I start pulling out items that we’ve collected that week and brought in to price and sell. Each of anxiously, yet calmly, waits and watches as the other unloads her treasures, hoping to see something that we just fall in love with. These are called “Needful Things”, in case you’re wondering, and there comes a time in everyone’s life where you require “Needful Things”. We just seem to have those times more often than most!
Anyway, when that certain item is spotted by either of us, the first question is,
Gwen: “How much are you asking for that?”
Patty: “Oh, I thought $25.”
Gwen: “I just love it, but I can’t give that for it.”
Patty: “Well, just Give Me Some Credit.”
Gwen: “OK! You get $25 worth of my junk!” and BAM! a note for credit quickly goes up on the board.
The picture above of the little glass dog container is one of my favorite Needful Things I got off of Patty. He now sits on my kitchen counter and holds my kosher salt. I call him my Salty Dog!
