If that hair receiver is 1920s it may be for cotton balls - used to remove makeup. By the 20s it wasn't so vorboten any more, and we had to get it off with something.

 

It happened in our family. When my aunt died, my father, her brother, was so heartbroken he took almost everything to the dump. He only kept some jewelry. He gave that to a sibling who was not responsible, that's all I will say....that sibling gave me my grandmother's platinum, diamond, and lavender star sapphire ring, which I wear. All else was lost or stolen. When my uncle passed, my father wanted me to have a special mirror he stored in his house, one of only three were made....a pink one, an amber one, and a blue one, not cobalt, but a rarer blue color. A beautiful winter scene of a couple in a sleigh and a church was etched in it. I didn't want it because I couldn't look at it without crying....it hung in my aunt's home, the one who passed and my dad took everything to the dump. I get why people do what they do. In the end, it's just stuff....you can't replace your loved ones.

 

I can understand not wanting to look at it. One tough memory after another, every time. I hope someone else in the family is taking care of it.

 

DAVEY! Can I buy the wembley one from you please? I collect that.

 

c'mon........private message..!!!!!

It's one of my obsessions. Wembley 1924.

 

I completely understand........... maybe Davey will , as well !

 

Done.

 

As a Yank I had to Google it. I have a friend who's as bad about the 1939 World's Fair. All sorts of odds and sods do turn up, especially in this part of the country.

 

Is this Wembley?
No, it's Thursday.
So am I. Time for a drink.

 

Found this cool porcelain coffee pot and sugar bowl with eight cups & saucers for $7.50. It’s made in Spain by Apean, not a well known company but a great atomic design.

 

If you’re here on a Sunday, you have to come by the MS Marketplace. I opened a new hallway of rooms upstairs to rent and have one that I keep locked and full of crazy stuff.
There’s also a new shop across the street, little on the pricey side but fun to check out.

 

I like that Anund. So cool and atomic.

 

is that really atomic.....or just splashy Persian...???
seriously...??

 

I got an atomic vibe from it, but what do I know.
