Got the store up and running!!

I have finally have the store up and running. You can check it out by clicking on the Store page above or this link below. It looks like ecrater.com was the best bet. It is fairly easy to work on and it is free! Ebay just takes too much of your $$.
I'll be adding new items daily so check back.
Consignment available. Contact me for more information.

Taste of Absinthe

I picked this little bottle up awhile ago. It was one of those things, as usual, "Hey that is cool. I MUST HAVE IT!!! " It fit the description of the things I like. It is a bottle. It is small. It is old as dust. Even still has the contents. It is in perfect shape and even has a little bit of the label left on it. Good thing too, because without the piece of label I would have had no idea what the heck was in it. I still had a couple questions though. Who is L.E. Jung? and What the heck is Anise? (hey I didn't know)
Antique L.E. Jung New Orleans Anise Bottle 
After poking around the net a bit I found very little information. Apparently L.E. Jung & Wulff was / is a distiller in New Orleans. Earliest I found was founding in 1883 I think. I'm sure someone out there knows better then me on that. Other then saving space, I am not sure why this bottle only says L.E. Jung and does not include "& Wulff". Maybe it is from the beginning before Wulff got involved. Maybe it is just to save space or money. Heck, I don't know...

...and Suddenly an Indoor Flea Market Appeared

Happened across this place last Saturday. It was a pleasant surprise. This place is inside a huge probably 100+ year old factory. I'll have to ask what it used to be. They had food and everything on the other side. Nice, clean, and had that really old building feel too.  Really nice and surprisingly not many people knew about it. We found a few nice items. Best one as soon as I walked in the door. Maybe we will stop by again this Saturday while we are out.
