IF IF IF anyone has glass CANES, CHAINS, OR TOP HATS FROM THE ANNUAL PARADE they wish to sell? I would be obliged if you email pat.is.fannish@gmail.com so I can arrange to meet you somewhere in the (Chatham – Windsor – Sarnia – London) area to see your treasures, and discuss prices. I had some, but #!@!*& movers from moving company dropped box and broke them. broke them!

I adore my copper wheel engraved glasses (etched-but-not-blown in Wallaceburg) handed down from one side of the family, and my beautiful pink-white-black blown “end of day” vase handed down from the other.

NO! NOT SELLING MT STUFF!
