Great Bargains available!! We have been working on clearing out items that we do not need to keep when we move to our much smaller new home. We will have about 1/2 of the floor space and almost none of the storage space that we currently have which includes 2 huge attics and a storage room. In July,2011, we finally arrived at the conclusion that we are ready to move to a much smaller home. In particular, a much smaller yard - little or none. We have sold our home of 13 years and are currently purchasing a garden (zero-lot line) home. We are excited (and nervous) about our move to "smaller quarters". Every drawer and closet (not to mention the attics & storage room) that we open seem to be bursting with items that we have not used in years. This is your opportunity to take advantage of many great bargains. Over the next few weeks, I will be listing lots & lots of items that have not "seen the light of day" in many years. Some of them need some TLC either cleaning or repairing but others are in great shape just not being used. A few are items that I purchased at various estate and/or garage sales or from one of our many fabulous thrift stores in San Antonio. We invite you to take a few minutes to look over our offerings and take advantage of this great opportunity. This collection will not have as much detail in listings or as many pictures as my usual offerings - in the interest of not having to pack so much for the movers. Please let me know if you need any additional pictures or information and we will be happy to provide it to you.

Halloween Trivia

Halloween Viki's Valuable Finds has All Halloween Items on Sale: some moved to online auction @ $.99 and others to 1/2 Price Halloween 2011 is just around the corner. Most families will celebrate this upcoming weekend since Halloween is on Monday. Do you know the history behind Halloween?? Look at this site for a brief glimpse: http://halloweenhistory.org/ A few tips for your trick-or-treaters: Below are some safety tips provided by the Kentucky State Police for adults and youngsters so you can enjoy this special night: 1. Make sure your child carries a flashlight, glow stick or        has reflective tape on their costume to make them more visible. 2. Younger children should be accompanied by an adult or older        sibling. 3. Instruct your children not to eat any treats until they        have been checked by an adult. 4. Make sure your child is able to see out of their mask        properly and can walk in their costume without tripping. 5. Remind kids not to enter a strange house or car. 6. Inspect your child's candy before they eat it. Discard any        unwrapped or suspicious looking goodies. If your child does get sick, call your        doctor or the hospital emergency room immediately and save all wrappers. It is        also helpful to determine what he or she ate and where it came from. 7. Talk to your children about ‘stranger-danger’ and the        safety precautions when around someone they do not know. Enjoy your halloween!! Thanks for stopping by.......

Made in USA With Americans in great need of jobs, I decided to look into just how many factories continue to produce items "Made in USA" that I carry in my store, Viki's Valuable Finds . These are the results: Americo Inc. easily qualified for this group of listings. They are located in West Memphis, Arkansas and produce vinyl goods. Domestic products are used in all of their manufacturing. Syracuse China Co., founded as Onondaga Pottery Company, was bought out by Libbey glassware manufacturers. Libbey continues to operate 2 manufacturing facilities in the USA - in Lousianna and Ohio as well as worldwide. Pfaltzgraff is another pottery manufacturer whose pieces Viki's Valuable Finds carries when available. They sold out to Lifetime Brands York PA. Pfaltzgraff has no manufacturing in the USA as of July 2005. Sakura, a major marketer of consumer dinnerware, was acquired by Oneida in 2000. In 2006 Oneida was reorganized under Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Carrollton China Co., one of eight firms who consolidated in 1929 as the American Chinaware Corporation, to survive the Depression and save the future of pottery made in USA. This company ceased production in 1932. Smith Corona Typewriter Company ,started in 1886, launched the world's first laptop personal word processor. By 2010, they were no longer producing typewriters and have built a manufacturing facility in Cleveland Ohio to manufacture labels and ribbons. Helpful Hints: Take a few extra moments to make sure that you know where your items are being made. Remember to always check the actual label on each item that you plan to purchase to make sure of the country of manufacture. Last week while shopping in the mall with my daughter we came across jeans with the company name "Made in USA". The only problem was that when I looked at the label it said, "Made in China". Some American companies still have corporate offices in the USA however all of their manufacturing takes place out of the country. It is then shipped back to be sold.
