Home of Used Furniture
I’ve rambled on about pencils but there is a second part to this story and that’s a store called Home of Used Furniture on West Front Street in Findlay. It’s where I purchased the pencils and sharpener in the earlier post as well as some other items.
It isn’t exactly a store but a cross between an estate auction and a garage sale. I didn’t even know the place existed but owner Nancy Hizer has been doing it for 26 years. Nancy scatters furniture and knickknacks in and around her garage and house which she openly invites folks to browse but is quick to remind this time of year that when the temperature drops below 40 degrees she closes for the season.
Buttons, buttons, buttons… – November 1st, 2008
I picked up a few neat pictures for the cube and a handful of buttons. That added to the pencils and pencil sharper came to around $23 dollars. Not too bad for some cool stuff and a new friend. Nancy is very down to earth and loves to chat. As she was heading into her house to make change someone accidentally broke a porcelain bird. Without missing a beat, Nancy yelled something like more pieces for her to sell.
Enjoy the latest pictures for my cube but know that there are two I’m not sharing. Those two will land us in Buffalo, round out the story and will be shared in the final post.
