All Sports coming soon...

We have been spending quite a bit of time in the store lately. We are still not open for business yet, but are open for consignment. We have taken in football, baseball and softball equipment so far. A lady came in with Tae-kwan-do stuff yesterday, so we have fighting gear as well. The shelves are filling up. We made our official first dollar yesterday when a lady and her son came in looking for a baseball mitt. We had a variety hanging so we let her choose one. She and her son signed one of the dollars and we framed it for the store.

I have been burning up Ebay getting football practice jerseys and baseball pants - all new with tags. The jerseys should go well as we will be into football season soon. My neighbor Mary and I have been hitting the garage sales in the area every Saturday and have been making good progress in increasing store inventory. My parents have even been hitting the sales in Michigan. We are coming up to Michigan for a two week vacation when the kids get out of school in a couple of weeks. We are bringing a trailer to haul back some shelving for the store as well as some of the stuff our parents have collected. Here are some more photos of the store...
Baseball and softball are going to be big sellers.

Most of the wetsuits came from Michigan

The Beard is Back

Mikey and Sami's grandpa has joined "the Beard is Back" campaign of the Detroit Red Wings for as long as the Wings are in the play offs. So far they have made it through two rounds and start on Chicago today in round 3. This may seem crazy, but I believe that the wings fate hinges on this man's facial hair. HE MUST NOT SHAVE UNTIL THE WINGS HOIST THE CUP. Sure, he may scare young children, but we can not take that chance. He does remind me of someone though....
