Carlson's Antiques Going Out of Business

Bill
Sliv
We're saddened to hear that long-time HLCCA members--and frequent vendors at the Saturday Show & Sale at the annual HLCCA Conference--Bill and Sliv Carlson will be leaving the antique business by the end of 2011. Until then, however, all of Carlson's Antiques' inventory of Fiesta and other Homer Laughlin wares have been marked down--then take another 20% off !! Check out the goods on Carlson's Antiques website.

(P.S. - The Carlsons will continue to make Plexiglass holders to display your Fiesta items.)
