If we could just update the blog everyday like we said we would....alas, there are just not enough hours in the day!!! But we can't let today go by without an update. For starters we took in over 350 items today, so that should tell you something!

A world traveler brought in some very interesting artwork--three silk embroidered wall hangings from Bangladesh-one is the Royal Couple, one is two women and one is a rickshaw with three passengers--the detail is exquisite and the colors are lovely. There is also an intricate Hindu god wall hanging--again with exquisite color and detail. From India there is a hunt scene in a very old colorful inlaid frame--from China a very interesting 3 drawer wooden box of sorts--the wood is so worn and smooth--you can tell there is an ancient story to be told! From Romania there is a tabletop 3 panel, hand painted screen with a countryside scene in muted oranges and greens...from Pakistan there are brass boxes and vases--all very interesting and none of it run of the mill, mass produced. Yesterday we took in some other items with an international flair--2 Chinese embroidered pictures--a peacock and a mountain scene and from Thailand a very large hand cut leather design mounted on a turquoise background. Add some spark to your home decor!

Not interested in treasures from afar? How about some really spectacular NEW items? Just to mention a few...think gifts and Spring--brand new oven mitts, napkin holders, stationary, Silvestri Fanciful Flights figurines, heavy glassware from Mexico, Takes Two teapots, sugar bowls and creamers, chalkboard frames, magnetic frames, Vera Bradley plates, Alaska bushplane paperweight, bags of potpourri, pillows, planters, artwork, purses, candlesticks, gardening gift sets and other cool gardening items-tools, gloves, a wrought iron hose holder, a work apron--mirrors, wallets......there is just too much to mention. Believe us when we tell you that it is worth it to stop by Stuff! Consignments in Gainesville.....you will not be disappointed if you are looking for something unique and affordable!

While some people are interested in what is coming into the shop, may people ask us what sells--just today one of our happy customers bought two wing back chairs, 2 lamps, 2 pillows and 24 wine glasses! Another customer bought a black utility shelf that just came in yesterday. A quilt rack that came in yesterday went right back out today.... lots of clothing, shoes and jewelry and the usual and unusual odds and ends--shower hooks, an old Fuller brush, a vase, candles, a vintage tin....stuff!

By the way...we have THREE new jewelry display cases!!!!!!!! We get in sooooooooo much jewelry and now you can see it a whole lot better! Speaking of jewelry...did you see our Facebook posting about the customer who purchased a necklace here for $8....she had it appraised and the appraiser offered her $7,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a vintage Chanel necklace...the consignor paid 15 cents for it!!!!! This is the kind of story consignment junkies live for...finding that hidden treasure. Needless to say, our jewelry department has been very popular these last few days!

Overheard in the shop today...." I can't believe I am here again--I love this place."

Are you ready to hear about all the great "stuff" that came into the shop today??????? For starters....how about this for a nice Valentine's Day gift--a brand new Coldwater Creek watch still in the red "croc" box--this is a smart looking watch with a silver tone link band and the face of the watch has Roman numerals, plus there are two extra watchbands-red "croc" and black "croc"--and you won't believe the price--$15! Another idea for a Valentine's Day gift--a Tracy Porter Nutmeg tea- for- one with tray only $25! Pair this up with an assortment of teas, put a pink bow on it and viola!--a great (not to mention thoughtful) gift that didn't cost you an arm and a leg.

Do you know anyone who collects old kitchen ware???? Tell them about the OLD hand mixer we just got in with the faded yellow wooden handle--you know these are hard to find and this one won't last long at just $10!! There is also an old grater which is also just $10. Collect salt and pepper shakers? Check out the kitschy toaster with 2 pieces of toast ($4) or the red and clear plastic Tennessee shakers ($6)--loads of fun and a great find. Tired of the cold winter weather? Well snap out of it and buy 8 green glass margarita glasses (try saying that 5 times after you have had several margaritas) to put you in the summer mood--these are really nice and only $15--bargain! To add to the summer mood, scoop up the mood enhancing Outer Banks watercolor of the shore--a line of old style beach houses nestled behind the dunes--this original artwork is only $49!

We get in tons of really great books and we price them to sell--most are between $3 and $5--today we got in several cookbooks-Prevention's Cooking for Good Health-$6- and Williams Sonoma Casual Entertaining-$6 are two of them--we sell lots of cookbooks...and don't forget we have a whole kitchen department chock full of pots, pans, serving dishes, small appliances, gadgets, containers, plates, mugs...you get the idea...

A new consignor just started today and he is going to be making weekly visits as he cleans out his mother and grandmother's "stuff"--lots of treasures in the mix--Haviland Limoges dish with violets-$20, Hammersley potpourri ball-$9, Takahashi hand painted in gold butterflies box-$14, blue and white ceramic decorative balls in various sizes......just to mention a few things.
