I didn't know that Kirkland (Costco) made Christmas ornaments!

 

Much!
Underwear and TP too.

 

Costco will sell anything they can make a buck on.

 

here are a few KOT - my favourite is the last one with the sharks on it

 

I couldn't get my phone ready in time to get a better shot but this is the Black Sheep Squadron WWII TV show.
At the far left is a poster on the wall.
It is an old Air France Paris poster.
I have that original poster.

Fun finds KofT! My family had one of the original businesses in Pioneer Square and there were five generations of us there for some time. It was a very difficult decision for me to leave almost 8ish years ago, but did so to essentially become the primary caretaker for the spouses parents on the other side of the US. With my migraines and other neck issues, I've found the weather suites me better on this side. I still get back 'home' every 2-3 years. My BFF of 28-years from Bellevue just flew in here recently for a fun vacation to see our new home.

You would probably appreciate one of my collections - for many years, I have sought out and collected antique (mostly) and some vintage items from long gone Seattle and Washington businesses. They are displayed nicely on their own shelves or in my office or guest room. From long gone souvenir items, ashtrays, gold plated glasses from Seattle Optical in the original case, advertising mirrors, an incredibly rare pennant from the 1907 Seattle Columbia Exposition (on the original stick), I've got a lot of neat-o stuff.

A few times over the years I've sold items back home locally, including to a museum in the International District. A few things I've got instructions to donate to local museums there when I'm no longer around to enjoy them.

 

Thanks!
WOW to all!

Antique Chinese Hand Carved Stone Nephrite Jade Ceremonial Sword Knife 20.5

 

Went hunting today and... score. These are relatively modern Mexican earrings, but as soon as I saw them I could see a Frieda Kahlo self-portrait looking at me and saying "buy that!". I finally gave in and got them. They're huge. The first image got kind of blurry on me, the camera's macro decided not to play nice, but the image should give you the idea.

 

The age of the engraving on this pewter goblet made me buy it for a buck

 

I like such things as well.
I have one that is badly worn and bent.

 

Sterling ... Pewter ... close enough
Nice find, Terry!
