A Great Delivery

Thursday Lewis headed toward Annapolis Md. to deliver an Anniversary present a customer wanted in order to surprise his wife. I think it was their 40th anniversary and she kept talking about some mirrors that she had seen in our shop. He decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and spring for he pair of oval eyelash mirrors. In order to deliver them within a reasonable time and in one piece, Lewis would drive them up. At the same time he could pick up a piece he previously purchased that he was not able to fit into his van. He called the husband while on his way up and they just happened to be on the same route heading in his direction. He asked Lewis to pull into a MacDonald's.

Mean time in the customer's car the wife spied our van clearly marked. She said, "Oh, Look, there's the van for that shop in Kilmarnock that I love. Let's stop and say hello.

Lewis saw them approach and pulled one of the mirrors out from the van with a sign that said Happy Anniversary. You should have seen her face. He really made her anniversary.

Bad Brad Stephens All Folked Up

I have been blogging about the shops in Kilmarnock, VA. One very prominent persona in town is the fabulous Brad Stephens. Brad is a man of many talents. He is a published playwright. He is a talented artist and folk art collector. He can take all sorts of odd and unusual items and put them together to make something out of this world.
So it is of no surprise to us that when we brought in a doctor's examination table from the thirties that Brad went absolutely crazy over it. You will have to visit his Blog http://bradstephensfoundobjects.blogspot.com/. Brad works for Comer and Co. if you'd like to meet him in person.
