Ephemera Bound Publishing, the publishing arm of our company, has joined forces with BookCrossing.com, The Salvation Army in Houston, and Backwash.com to help survivors of hurricane Katrina.
Please join us in this very personal way to help these people who lost everything ~ they sure could use a the comfort of a good read & unknown friends who care.
Booklovers, read how to help here!
Like most antiques & collectibles dealers, we began our business out of three things: a passion for things, the thrill of the hunt, and, unfortunately, limited space.
We could no longer keep everything. But we can’t stop ourselves either. So the buyers have to also become sellers.
We travel the "Tri-State Area" of North Dakota, Minnesota, & Wisconsin, buying & selling. Ok, so it's not really called a "tri-state" area, but we love to travel & 'buy junk,' with the kids in tow. From one item, to auction lots, to entire estates, we love to buy.
We love what we do, and we hope it shows, with humor, love, respect & more humor. We are serious about describing items accurately & shipping timely, but we like to have fun listing our items & running our sites.
To be honest, we are creatures of whimsy... Just call us clutter romantics or pack rats. Pretty much anything can spark our interest. For those who like to shop as we do, to see it & experience love at first sight, here's our photo gallery of collectibles & books.
But we have our store front for talking about what we hawk (sell), so here, we'll just mention more of the things we horde (keep).
We collect all sort of things ~ again we say "Specialize?! Who can specialize when there is a whole world of things out there!"
|
We always buy books. Classy ones like first editions, rare & out of print books, vintage children's books, antique illustrated books; classic ones such as the old sci-fi magazines & books; and yes, we buy trashy ones, such as pulp novels, vintage sex mauals. We can't help ourselves! (Will our bookshelves hold up?!)
We love to talk about our things, our adventures, so please feel free to contact us to talk anytime!
On a more personal note...
Aside from collecting, we have other interests. We both are avid readers, and so we write *giggle* (Don't most readers crave also to write?)
We both are self-described webophiles; we have more sites & domain names than seems remotely human. Even the kids have them!
We have 3 children. Raising third generation pack rats, we realize now that clean rooms are the stuff of legends...
We also have 2 dogs, 1 bird, a fish tank with 2 koi & 2 snails, and a plethora of plants.
We are owned by 2 cats.
Oh, yes, and herds of dust bunnies! (Hey, we are busy!)
My favorite quote is: "I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have, beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself." (Marlene Dietrich) But it won't fit in the box! ;)
