Once in a Blue Moon Online Thrift and Consignment Store

Have you noticed all of new as in new, and not used, items we've added to the site over the last month? Almost everything came to us on consignment which is so great because more than likely we would not have the items at all if not for our consignees. Especially, the ones that are hand crafted. These treasures are not massed produced and as such, I feel we are so lucky to have been chosen by the artist to promote her designs. It's like owning one of the original oil paintings by an artist who later became famous. And you never know, it could just happen one day.

There's quite a bit of information in the newsletter this time and rather than duplicate it here, I'll let you hop over and read it yourself. And to entice you to do just that, I added a great recipe from Hershey's Candy web site. It's sooo yummy!!!!

One thing I do want to let you know about, and which isn't in the newsletter is the 10th Anniversary of Amazon's much-loved Wish List with 10 lavish sweepstakes. Amazon Wish List

Our customers will have a chance to enter one of the themed Wish List sweepstakes. Just create, add to, or share a Wish List, and you'll be invited to enter. Amazon Wish List

• Week 1 (Oct. 5-11): The Twilight Saga: New Moon Premiere Wish List -- A trip for two to Los Angeles to see the premiere

The last week of the sweepstakes is • Week 10 (Dec. 7-12): Amazon Wish List

With Halloween soon upon us, I want to also let you know that we have Halloween decorations this year. It's been at least 3 three years since we've had any so we're really happy about these items, especially since they're all from Department 56. Not only are you getting a decoration, but also a collectible one at that!

And as always it seems, we have Christmas decorations as well. We have some Department 56 too and even some vintage decorations. I think you'll enjoy looking at the least.

Well, this is all the news I have for this time around. It seems I have writers cramp or is it block? Whatever it is I have it and just can't seem to spit out any newsworthy information. One thing is for sure though...I'll be back!!!
