Gay would like to buy that “curio cabinet” – c’est possible? I’ve been loving it since it appeared in the shop who knows how long ago (courtesy of Johanna?).
Michael Jay is also interested in the curio cabinet…opening bid is? I have just the place for it.
And paper sold by the stack…mmmm
The curio sounds like $100 range….

I fold on the cabinet. Enjoy, whomever!
