What’s Here

A blog where I post articles about genealogy, practical things you can do around the house to save money (based on the way things used to be done, living off the land, reinventing uses for common household objects, etc.), and a variety of hobbies aimed at enjoying home-life without spending too much money.

There is a store – part online thrift store and part general mercantile.  I offer new merchandise that is a little unusual, not usually found in the big box retail outlets or has a vintage or practical side to it.  The online thrift store category houses vintage collectibles, and a variety of household goods that is sorted by sub-categories to make it easier to shop.  Most of this merchandise comes from estate sales or is being sold on consignment.

Ward West Virginia

There is a special category of blog posts labeled Ward West Virginia devoted to this old coal mining community.  Ward no longer exists, but even after 30+ years since the last of its buildings were demolished former residents and their descendants meet once a year to remember the community and the lives of those who lived there.

A Social Element

I’d like to encourage you to post comments on articles here, follow White Oak Attic on Twitter and join the Facebook fan page.  What kind of Old mercantile would this be if we couldn’t visit with each other once in awhile?

Unique Feature

The Online Thrift Store category inside the store is a special place where I offer unusual and vintage finds discovered at estate sales.  Most items are cross listed in my eBay store.  You can see my auctions and visit my eBay store here or just click the link in the lower right section of this page.

Always a Fair Deal at The Attic

Visit my feed back page for my eBay store to see what my customers have to say about White Oak Attic.  I’ve been selling online for years and am a Top Rated seller on eBay for meeting exemplary customer service standards. Nothing big and fancy here but you can sure count on a great experience when you shop in my store!

Recycled Packaging

Whenever possible I use recycled boxes and packing material from local retailers to package some of the goods shipped from White Oak Attic ~ I think it adds to the charm of the place and fits the overall image of White Oak Attic as being thrifty, yet elegant.
