I caught the end of your live show and had to re-watch, but couldn't find a place to post a comment, so this comment pertains to that live episode from tonight. We love your show and your store and wish we were close enough to drop by. But it would probably take two weeks to drive there. I would love to see Canada again. You are such a great bunch of people accomplishing wonderful things! Thank God for Canadians! My dad (a Canadian) and I enjoyed watching Kung Fu in the early 70s (thanks for the memory). I also adore Bruce Lee, Craftsman style, and Frank Lloyd Wright and now I am even more excited to see how the Potter’s house turns out. I was so glad you stripped that paint off those beautiful door frames. Chewy is adorable! On this show, that was a talented collector you met up with. Enjoyed the visit.Thanks for sharing everything with all of us. Y'all are so much better than T.V.!!!!!!!

The auto coffee makers were popular in the 60's/70's as more people had cars and traveled but there were not the food/drinks stops there are today. As a child in the 70's in Australia we used to travel twice a yr, about 400km one trip and about 2000kms the other (return) and mum and dad would bring cordial for us kids and make coffee for them with an auto coffee maker in between stops.
