Hi-it's me again!

You know, in today's retail world thinking "outside the box" is a necessity if you want to stay competitive and be successful. The Buffalo Nickel Antique Mall is no different.  We are constantly coming up with new ideas to enhance your visit with us.

A couple of years ago, we added a clothing boutique thinking about those antiquers who shop with friends who aren't really into the old stuff. (By the way, we have had so many positive comments about Clothes Stock Company, we can't thank you enough.) It is very encouraging to us that we chose an amenity that pleased you so.  Right now, winter clothes are discounted and we will have all new seasonal attire by March 1st.

But, the addition of our CSC boutique doesn't mean  we'll stop evolving either.  We like to change, keep things fresh and share ideas. AND...speaking of sharing, we invite you to feel free to tell us what would flip "your" cookie at the BN.  If you have your own wish list, whether its specific antiques, furniture or collectibles you'd like to see more of or maybe an enhancement  in the CSC, or even another feature or service we could offer, just let us know.  You never know what could develop from shared ideas.(But just between you and me, if you suggest that you'd like to see those ceramic canisters with the blue and yellow goose theme on them, I doubt that we'd be able to help you out on that one, sorry !)

While I am writing this my boss asked me if I remember Kickerino's.  I had no idea what she was talking about, so she tried to describe them.  I was still stumped.  Then Pat C., a dealer here, came in and we quizzed her.  Not only did she know what they were, she admitted she still owns a red pair. Have any of you ever experienced ownership of these mysterious Kickerino"s?

Ok, gotta go - my time is up.  Until next time, stay cool, take are and be kind...
