I haven't been here for a long time. The time flies by so fast. I'm doing very well on ebay thanks to all of you. Dishes have become my favorite but I have some vintage things and some Christmas items. I try to mix it up. I have some miniture doll house furniture in the pkg yet. Some old Lefton items and some newer items. Life is good. we celabrated our 42nd aniaversary the beginning of this month. Hard to believe it has been so long. our Grandkids are both in Middle school this year. Seems they were just babies.

Here in WI it has been in the 80's hard to believe in Oct. It is cooling off now. We are glad. Thats it for now.

I've been so busy with my flower gardens and summer in General. I have been busy going to garage sales and estate sales. My husband and I love it. I have been buying lots of Homer laughlin china to sell. I have autumn gold, a rose pattern and  magnoilia pattern and other odd and end peices.

I buy lots of stuff for myself too. Our town is small and its kind of a social activity. We see people we haven't seen for a long time at garage sales. We get good buys and have fun.

thats all until next time   Shirley

Yesterday I listed 4 crochet Pattern books from the 40's and 50's. They have some wear on them but the patterns are all in tack and for the most part the books, They are like pamphlets, are in real good condition.

There many lovely things in them. They would even be nice just to display.

A few years ago I went to a young lady's house to stay overnight. She had her whole house decorated in victorian style furnishings. What I really liked was the Look Magazine that was probably from the 40's. In was in lovely condition. It was so neat to see the ads for shoes and dresses and other things of that error. I'm sure it was the way her own mother decorated. I loved it.

Have a great evening. Shirley

It is Spring here in WI and we are getting much needed rain for My flower garden. I have at least 1/3 of our Acre yard planted into flowers, flowering trees and bushes. I try to plant things that attrack the birds and Butterflies to my yard. We are building a potting shed that I want to fix up real cute, and cottage looking. I'm using my Ebay money to build it. Everybody have a great day. Shirley
