So this week went fairly well, update on Sheryl, so she is about the same and we did some medication changes, which seems to be helping her, but she has times when she needs a little cruise around town to change her senerary and get a coke. So I am happy to do that, and if there is a garage sale, she is happy to let me go check it out.

So the shop this week will be open
Monday June 22nd 2pm to 5pm
Thursday June 25th 2pm to 5pm
It is always fun to have people stop by and visit. It is also fun to visit and meet new people.

So a little bit of the pictures on this post. These are just some of the 450, 5 pack gift sets on display (over 2250 cars alone).
And as always, thanks for your prayers and support, we look forward to seeing you soon.

So what a week salina had. Started with terrible storm with hurricane type winds, did a number on trees and 100's of telephone poles, leaving most if not all of salina in total darkness. Blocked streets, damaged homes and cars from the trees. This will be a long process of getting it all cleaned up. The city streets were all littered with trees, some totally up rooted. Power for us was on by Wednesday morning and the mother inlaws by Thursday morning but cable was out until Friday morning. The main thing is that everyone is safe and repairs have began. For us we had major tree damage, 3 different fence sections were destroyed and damage to siding and awnings on our house.

Sheryl, did pretty well this week, no major changes, we will be visiting Monday with another agency about managing her medications, which they are more aware of what may work or not. Dr Ho**er did very well but felt it was time for this agency to help us address sheryls needs. So, thanks for your continued prayers.

As for the shop, it survived the storm with minimal problems and NO leaks. Power was on Wednesday morning and I was open that afternoon. We did decide to postpone the mini flea market for a couple weeks, more info to follow.
This week may get busy and I may have to close if things arise, but I plan to be there
Tuesday june 16th 2pm to 5pm
Friday june 19th 2pm to 5pm

The pictures attached are the pez collection at the shop. It is amazing all the different pez dispensers and gift packs etc. So stop by take a look. There are some harder to get pez dispensers and accessories.
Have a great week

So last week was kinda busy, sheryl had a good week, she did have lab work done and had mouth swab for DNA analysis. She did very well for both, this week we have Dr visits for both sheryl and shirley. Praying they both go well.

So this weeks shop hours are as follows.
Wednesday June 10th 2pm to 5pm
And Saturday June 13th from 9am to 2pm.
For our first MINI FLEA MARKET held in our parking lot. I have 5 vendors coming to set up with some diecast items, craft items and other miscellaneous items. I still have room for a couple more if you want to set up. Message me.
So come check it out.

We are planning a mini flea market at the shop parking lot, 768 N. Broadway, salina, ks. On june 13th. I would probably limit it to maybe 10 vendors to setup and peddle their items. You would need your own tables and collect your own cash. Now it would be good if it was an assortment of vendors, not just diecast/Hot Wheels people, but that might be an idea also. So if anyone is interested, MESSAGE ME. The first one would be saturday, June 13th from 9am to 2pm. Also, it would only be held every 3 weeks, as that is how my schedule is running.

Currently have 4 vendors wanting to setup, so we have room for more. Would like 8-10 vendors if possible.

Good Wednesday evening,

So was thinking of a couple things and was going to see if I had any interest or not.

The first thing I was thinking of doing is a mini flea market in the shop parking lot. I would probably limit it to maybe 10 vendors to setup and peddle their items. Now it would be good if it was an assortment of vendors, not just diecast/Hot Wheels people, but that might be an idea also. So if anyone is interested, message me and we can see if there is enough interest. The first one would be saturday, June 13th from 9am to 2pm. Also, it would only be held every 3 weeks, as that is how my schedule is running.

The second item is that I am wondering if there is anyone local that does (What Not Shows) and if you have a decent following, I would like to visit and see if there is tips or hints to getting started. Just message me or pass my name along if you know someone. If your not sure what a (What Not) show is. It is actually selling live on an app called (What not) it is fast paced selling and there is a wide variety of things sold.

The pictures on the cover here, shows a timeline of how Hot Wheels progressed over the years.

Thanks

Reminder we will be open
Friday May 29th 2pm to 5 pm

Good Sunday evening
May 24th 2026

So Happy Memorial day weekend, Hope everyone is doing good and having a safe, fun weekend.
So this week Sheryl did fairly well, we had a few trying moments, but did fairly good. We do need prayers for her as she gets further into this and that she really doesn't know what is happening to her. She gets really scared at times and really upset. When I am able it seems to calm her by taking a ride in the car, so if you see us out and about, that is probably why. Not sure why it calms her down, but it works.

So last Saturdays parking lot sale was pretty busy and fun day for me. Lots of visiting, showing and selling. Thanks to all that stopped by. You made my day.

This week we will be open
Tuesday May 26th, 2pm -5pm
Friday May 29th, 2pm to 5pm

So as the pictures in this post shows boxes of loose Hot wheels, this is a small portion of them. There are approximately 90 of these drawers and each drawer holds about 24, so approximately 2000 were available and we sold several hundred Saturday. So this week i would like to continue the special of 3 cars for $1.00
So stop and get a few or a lot.
