Wow! It's been a long time since I have posted anything. My oldest is now 20, my middle child is 19 and my youngest is 16, a junior in High School.

Will need to come back and put something longer on here.

Postcards from the early 1900's

These are postcards I bought at an auction about a week ago.  I shared a few Christmas ones on my Christmas blog.

Star Trek Continues E01 "Pilgrim of Eternity" (New episode of the original Star Trek made by fans)

Kickstarter for TOS Continues

It's The Little Things - Official Music Video - The Gothard Sisters

Shelley over at Simply Shelley did a post today called Little Things which made me think of this video by the Gothard Sisters (I may have shared it before, I think it is good enough to share again) 

Clearwater Beach, Florida 2012

Sunset in Clearwater Beach Family Vacation 2012. My hubby helped me put this together. I had some pictures that were taken within minutes of each other and we made this gif.  Hey, I know it's jerky but that's about how I take an actual video too.  :)

Did someone say sheet music?!

I didn't have anyone buy sheet music until the second day of my yard sale.  I know she saw my ad in the paper because she says to me "When you said sheet music, you're not kidding!  I figured you would just have a few pieces."  Yep, I estimate that I have about 200 to 300 sheets of vintage sheet music.  I have to say that when I went through them once again I do have music back to the 1800's and a lot from the earlier 1900's.  I love the old sheet music!  The pictures on the front are wonderful to look at.  So, if you lived in my area would you have been by?  I am thinking if I can find the time I will share pictures of what I have.  Oh and by the way she bought 18 pieces of sheet music.

I am Having a Yard Sale!

Yep, I am a glutton for punishment.  I am having a yard sale tomorrow and Friday.  I will be selling vintage sheet music (1920's-1930's mostly) some vintage books (a few from the 1800's and early 1900's and some not so vintage) and some vintage Christmas ornaments.  I will also have a sears xcargo ( or however you say it) luggage carrier and a women's set of golf clubs.  A small bike and a few toys.  There is more.  Here is my ad: ad  (mine is the one under out of county).

A Give-away at Growing Home!

Growing Home is having a give-away for Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil!  Here's the link: Give-away

My Solid Oak Desk

This is my oak desk that we bought at an auction about a year ago.  It was 5 whole dollars!  The drawers on the left are fake, it's a door.

Do You Remember Wishniks?

I thought I would share my paper doll Wishniks.  They are from 1965.  I do not remember much about these since I was probably between 4 and 8 years old when I got them.  I do remember I had fun playing with them.

Auction Finds (10/13/12)

An auction, yay!

Below is from 1887.

Here Come The Brides

I love Here Comes the Brides!! I just wish my all boy family shared in it. I mean Bobby Sherman and David Soul, what's not to love!! Rented the first few episodes through Netflix!! Will have to send these back and get the next disc!

Goodwillin'!

Here is what I found at the Goodwill today!  I really love this picture just wish it had a different frame.

Didn't get to go to an auction today.  Major bummer!  Here is a picture of what I missed.  Don't you just love it!

Butterfly and Roses

Here are a few pictures I took yesterday.

This butterfly must have been a starvin' Marvin! He was fluttering all around our butterfly bushes and I was grateful he stopped long enough for me to get this shot.

...and this shot

I also took these of one of our rose bushes. Not the best pictures but wanted to share a couple.

Vintage Greeting Cards

Vintage Birthday Cards

 The auction I went to this weekend was at an old victorian house.  I thought it was beautiful!  There was so much vintage goodness and antique amazingness!  I wish our budget could have withstood some major spending but alas it’s just not meant to be.  I am very happy with the vintage greeting cards I bought, though!

Go here if you want to see a little of what I am talking about:
auction
(Don’t know how long that will be there to see)

So during the auction we were informed that the most valuable lithograph to be auctioned off had been stolen.  Can you believe it?!  Someone walked into the house and just picked it up and walked out!  How awful.  How can a person look at themselves in the mirror after doing something like that?

 

I will be sharing pictures soon of the greeting cards, takes a bit of time to scan them.  I have scanned some of the Christmas cards and will be sharing a few on my Christmas blog over the next couple of days.  Check them out when you have a chance.

I went ahead and scanned a couple.   Here ya go...

Hope you liked my little teasers! :o)

Yay, an auction!

Saturday was such a nice day to go to an auction! It was cloudy but didn't rain. It was around 70 degrees, perfect!

Here are a couple pictures to tide you over until I get some scanning done. These two lots went for more than I could pay, $19 a piece to the same bidder!


The first is a small box of old postcards.

The last picture is a box of vintage greeting cards that I wanted so baaaadddd! (It's OK I am happy with what I got, that you will have to be patient to see!)

I just needed to share these pictures! I haven't been to an auction in months, I was starting to have withdrawals! I shared some of the Christmas cards I got from this auction on my Christmas blog. Cheryl's Christmas Chattels
