[QUOTE="judy, post: 351199, member: 965"]And hello to you again also CGB........ Besides working at the shop, I also had my own merchandise. The shop was a former 1860 home that originally belonged to a doctor. How many change of hands it had through the years, I do not know. The owners, when I was with them, had purchased the RE from someone who had sold furniture. What made our co-op somewhat unique was the fact that the several rooms in the home had a different dealer. Some specializing, some not. I never specialized in anything.....bought whatever I thought I could make a "buck" on! I always had a "full" house (rooms). I loved and still do, like to go to shops where they are full. I like to dig...seek and find so to speak. If I can see everything at a glance, it doesn't usually interest me. Of course, if at a glance a dala is being sold, well, then that's a different story.......but more than likely it would be more than I'm willing to pay. I have been very lucky in my dala acquisitions. I was with the owners for 40 years+. During that time, the house was full of dealers. I rented two rooms....most everyone rented just one, but some rooms were quite large. People complimented the shop because of it's size. And being 3 floors. The attic was off limits tho...the owners used it for their own storage. The owners sold the RE recently (just a few weeks ago), so I'm not longer there. It was a great time in my life.
