    The neighborhood value of property has increased dramatically higher rates because of Alexander.

      @@MrGrumpyGills Those "western/American" stores were built by Europeans who migrated west in wagons, including to Canada.
      English, Irish, Italian, French, German, Scottish, Spanish, Portuguese, migrated to the promised land called America. They built America with a little bit of home with what surrounded them in nature.
      The inside of Curiosity Inc. And the extension CONTENTS for sale bring the European Elegance presentation together with new innovation to the neighborhood. Check your eyes for glaucoma and see beyond what you see.

    Alex,
    You should contact the weaving guild that bought the looms to see if they have handwoven table mats, napkins and towels you could sell. Local crafts! Display on wooden cloths drying racks.
    Just a thought. Good luck with the addition and the house!

    I think a display of vintage Christmas ornaments to sell would be great. I always go looking for them at antique stores but never find them. I have to go to garage sales or ebay to find them. and you can place vintage toys for sale around the tree too. But yeahhhh i never knew why antique stores never had a one stop shop for antique christmas decor. All the pretty pastel ornaments with the glitter are my favorite. Im sure you stumble upon vintage christmas decor and ornaments a lot.
    I used to work a boutique in Huntington Beach, Ca for several years. One thing people like is to create a whole gift with the things in the store. If you sell jam and crackers, sell a plate and knife set whether it be vintage or new. Don't have a ton in stock but have a few and they look really pretty as store decor too. I think vintage sets would be so cute. People also like to buy kitchen towels and put them in gift bags. One thing people asked for but we didn't have was baskets to put them in to create a gift basket. You can always get some baskets from estate sales and have cellophane on hand to create a gift basket for people to purchase. Also have some general cards on hand as well. Not a ton, just a generic ones.
    if you sell soaps, sell antique soap dishes as well. If you sell baking goods for cakes in the future, sell pyrex bowls to go along with it. Since you are selling local hunny, sell vintage hunny jars to go along with it. ya know make it fun and give the people what they want. alsooooo a cute display of vintage aprons to sell would be oh so cute. you should place the pots and dishes by the soaps and tea and not just have them seperate. You should have a few right next to the items as well. I wish you would sell vintage tea pots and dishes too though. It's such a shame if you dont

    Congratulations once again Alexander and Melissa! The new store space looks great!
    Also thank you again for the opportunity to work alongside you on this project Alex. It was a pleasure to do so, I enjoyed bringing your unique design concept to life.
    My family and I will be sure to stop by to do some shopping to support local this upcoming holiday season.

    “It’s eerily quiet right now.” I think that Alexander is a little bit nervous.

    I’ve been watching your TH-cam episodes for the past week everyday and night-I couldn’t stop! Not just because I like and collect antiques for decades, finally find someone understands the REAL values hidden in the artworks, but more because of your appreciation to life and to everyone encounters your life as a human being. This one, has made me in tears in the end. God bless you, Alex. I hope more successful men on the earth like you. Best wishes to you and your loving family, Eli from Japan

    Congratulations! WHOOOP WHOOP! Another dream /goal finalized! You and Melissa rock. Here's wishing you more success and prosperity. . I've enjoyed watching the start to finish. Wish I lived there, I'd visit it.:-) And it's really great that you help support your local crafters. Makes me wish I were young and able enough to do that in our small city (6000 ish_) here in the Midwest.
