Ooh, la la! You know when I snapped these up, I wanted to keep these for myself. They are apothecary jars from France. I would date these in the 1900s and they are sweet. I know that most people aren't itching for these jars, but you are not 'most people'. If you know a hipster that would like to make an 'ol timey pharmacy in their home. You have to get these. Or if you just want to have a kick ass home, maybe consider this pair. Etsy - Freak Flamingo Finds - Fancy French Jars 

You'll find that we got comic books coming out our 'whatevers' these days. I love collecting comic books because they are always interesting. You'll find one artist that you love and pretty much stick with the series. or you'll find a writer who you adore and follow the crap out of them. I just recently got into the comic book game, and now I am hooked! There is so much to learn about all the characters, but what really tickles my "Spidey sense" is the whole collecting processes. It's very much a creative process and I am looking forward to scoring more. If you want to start, or add, to you collection, check out a few of our auctions going on now: eBay - thenamesamie - Comico - Justice Machine  eBay - thenamesamie - DC Comics - Captain Atom  eBay - thenamesamie - Dark Horse Comics - Predator vs. Magnus Robot Fighter  eBay - thenamesamie - Viz Premiere Comics - Lycanthorpe Leo - MATURE Bam! 💥 Just went through a few of our comics.

Yes, I'm aware you can totally see me in the 'Flour" canister taking a picture, and I could care less. I got super excited about this. I love this 1960s chrome kitchen canister set made by Canette. You can set it up in your kitchen and just sit back and listen to all the complements roll in. There is a little wear to this in the form of a little bit of easily removable rust, but I keep it on because I appreciate the charm of a well loved piece. But, if you really must remove that rust, remember, a can of Coke and some tin foil will be your best bet. Not only will it remove it, but you'll have a refreshing drink by your side as well. Learn the trick from YouTube user: sixtyfiveford See, it works! I plan to post videos of my own cleaning/ tuning up finds with more swearing and sarcasm, so be on the look out for that very soon. In the mean time, if you'd like to get your hands on this wonderful canister set, scoop it up here : Ebay - 60s Vintage Ki
