This is a nice little 3-drawer, free standing jewelry (or what-have-you) box.
Condition: It’s in very good shape – nice & sturdy – but could use a paint job or stenciling or something fun. (Someone has already painted it once, but it’s worn off a bit, especially on the drawer knobs. Also, the paint job was a bit inconsistent as you can see from the photos below.) Parts of it are certainly made from some kind of composite wood.
Dimensions: About 27.5″ H x 12.5″ W x 10″D
Price: $18.00. Plus 5.5% Maine State Sales tax, of course.

This is a nice mirror in great condition, that would fit with many different types of decor. The material is that good quality, heavy duty plastic-type material designed to look like Mediterranean metal work.
Condition: It’s in great shape, although it is a bit dusty.
Dimensions: About 26″ H x 14″ W.
Price: $18.00. Plus 5.5% Maine State Sales tax, of course.

This cute little stand would look great if redone in a stain or in black… or some other color to suit your fancy. Or you could leave it as is, but as you’ll see from the photos, it could use some updating. Someone apparently either had less than stellar painting skills, or perhaps just got bored with the project.
Condition: It’s a nice sturdy little piece. It just needs to be repainted.
Dimensions: About 10.5″ D x 17.5″ W x 23″ H.
Price: $10.00 and it’s all yours! Plus 5.5% Maine State Sales tax, of course.

We have four large poster / picture frames in a gold color.
Two are identical; the third is identical in size but the frame itself is plainer. The fourth holds the same size poster but is slightly smaller, although the frame is more similar to the first two than the third one. (The pictures may explain this better than I have.)
Condition: New, never taken out of their packaging. The photos don’t show them very well; the camera’s flash bounced off the plastic wrapping.
Dimensions: Fit posters 24″ x 36″.
Price: The sticker on one says the original price was $29.99, which would have been several years ago, so who knows how much they would be now. One of the two I just found (to make 4 for sale, not just two), has a sticker on back listing $36.00.
Our price: $18.00 each or all four for $60.00. Plus 5.5% Maine State Sales tax, of course.

Here’s a nice old bentwood rocking chair that’s still fairly sturdy, but has some dings and damage. See below.
Condition: Fair to Good. As the photos show, it has a crack in one arm that seems to start from the bottom screws holding it in place, and which makes that arm wobbly because it needs tightening. I suspect some wood glue and a clamp for a day would take care of that problem.
Also there’s a very small area in the webbing on the back of the chair that has broken. I’d just use clear nail polish to prevent it from getting worse, but perhaps you have a much better idea!
The price reflects my thought that I’d rather have someone take this rocker and get some use out of it, than eventually just being stuck taking it to the dump. That would be a tragedy because the rocker is lovely and has plenty of use left in it.
Dimensions: I haven’t measured it yet, but it’s fairly large.
Price: $10.00. Plus 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax, of course.

There are two (now THREE!) leaf glass plates, two of which are essentially mid-sized platter-sized. The two are a burnt orange glass on top, and a basic dull brown underneath, which gives depth to the orange color and the leaf-like veins throughout. There’s now a third one that’s smaller but very similar. It’s black with two brushes of white across the middle.
Please note: The two orange platters, while they seem identical and as if they came from the same mold, do show slight differences between them when stacked.
Condition: Excellent condition.
Dimensions: Larger platters are about 14″ long x 9.5″ wide. The smaller one is 10″ long x 7″ wide.
Price: $18.00 for the two platters. Plus 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax, of course.
Shipping & Delivery: Free local pickup. We can deliver within Lewiston-Auburn for a $15.00 delivery fee, or Gray/Portland (along the 202 Route, or just off it) early Wednesday mornings for the same $15.00. Shipping via USPS is $15.00.
Brigid is shown to be beautiful, powerful and gentle with her Celtic red hair flowing in these two pieces honoring the beloved goddess.
Brigid is the mistress of the healing arts, and is seen as the muse of poetic inspiration. She is also associated with wells, springs, fire, and fertility, as well as smithcraft, which held special importance for the early Celts.
Our Brigid statue is posed in front of a cauldron of fire, bearing a handful of flames.
“Brigid’s Fire (the offering)” is an art print signed and numbered by the artist. The prints were limited to 250 copies; this is #10, an extremely low number and therefore somewhat more valuable.
For those wanting more information, or who don’t know the history of Brigid, there is much to be found on line about her, as well as about these specific pieces. When time allows, I’ll add more to this narrative. Thank you!
Note: Our bronze statue of Brigid (shown in the photo) has sold!
Pricing:
Brigid statue: $75.00. Brigid’s Fire art print: $75.00. Both for $125.00.
Condition: Both are in excellent condition.
Dimensions:
Brigid statue: About 10″ high. Brigid’s Fire art print: .11×14″inch (on 13×19 paper)

This is just the beginning of the inventory listing of our gardening books… keep checking back as I will be adding more as I have time!
Many are in excellent, gift-worthy condition as you’ll note from the way they’re listed below.
Books come in three basic types: hardcovers (regular and coffee table, which are the very large books with loads of photos), trade paperbacks (oversized paperbacks), and mass markets (the usual smaller paperback books). Our inventory is listed according to these types.
I’m afraid I can’t provide more information on these books than what I have listed here; otherwise I’d have to increase the prices to cover the time this takes away from my other business, that actually pays the bills! Thanks for understanding.
Pricing & Payments: Listed below under book type. However, buy any 3 and get 10% off. Buy any 6 and get 20% off. Buy any 10 and get 33% off! Don’t forget the 5.5% Maine State Sales Tax!
We are pretty low tech here. The easiest way to pay is via PayPal or cash. We don’t take Venmo, Facebook Pay or any of those. We do take checks if you are known to us, or if you’re willing to wait for up to a week for your check to clear. (Sorry, but we’ve lost money on checks before.)
Photos: At the end, after the narrative. The photos should be in the exact order as the books are listed.

A few years ago we bought quite a bit of inventory from a Portland area business school that closed, and sold most of it immediately.
The 4 desks offered here were never assembled, and got put in storage, where I just found them. (That’s been happening a lot, lately!)
The tops of all the desks are in excellent condition with no marks. The plastic strip that goes around the side of all the desk tops has some marks and there’s a crack in one, but it’s not coming apart and seems well glued down. The desk tops are surprisingly heavy.
You’ll have to assemble them… each of the four legs takes 9 (yup, NINE) screws, and you’ll really REALLY want a screw gun or drill to do it. Unfortunately, I’ve lost the bag of screws, which means you’ll need to purchase 36 screws for each desk. Sorry! (If I find that bag of screws, I’ll absolutely give it to you, but I have no idea where it might be.)
However, once put together properly, the desks are wicked sturdy. Basic – just a writing surface and four legs – but sturdy.
There are chairs for the desks although I hadn’t planned to sell them (I only have 3 left). If you’re interested in the chairs, they are $15 each, and definitely worth the price.
Some of the photos are from back when we were selling the desk and chair combos, with the desks assembled (those photos didn’t come out very well; they had lots of glare). The other photos show what you’d be getting how.
Condition: Very good… once assembled!
Price: Please take all 4 for just $15.00. Plus 5.5% State of Maine Sales Tax.
