Picture frames do well on ebay. Vintage pictures are odd sizes. I have a 5" by 5" vintage picture that I found a beautiful frame for at an estate sale recently for $1.

 

Louie is doing better. When I got up to get coffee, he got into my Amish cream donut.

 

Can you blame him! Hope is belly tolerates it.

 

He was fine.

 

Oh good. I love Amish donuts. He looks to be a sweetie.

 

he's going to be a rascal !!!!

 

Now that he's starting to feel better, lookout! He'll be climbing your pant legs next, whether or not you're wearing pants. (trousers if you're British - kind of difficult to climb up "pants" unless they're bloomers)

 

Lol, both of them are climbing my bare legs.

 

You have now officially been catted!

 

The Canadian blue box!

 

who knew a silver ring box could have so much street cred....???

 

Looks like the donut got into him.

What a darling. They want to see whatever you're doing. Since they can't jump on to tables & counters, they use those sharp, sharp little nails to climb. When someone says, Oh, how cute, too bad they don't stay like that, I always say I can't wait!

 

These kittens will never know how lucky they are. Looks like they have won the golden ticket in adoptions. Hopefully their health keeps on improving.

 

Wowzer.

 

Good buy this for the equivalent of just over $8. Many examples online. Seemingly from the 70’s or so. Stands 63cm tall and 33cm wide at base.

 

Need to upload the pictures but...((glorp)) I knew it was pretty and hoped it was good. No idea it was this good. Gustavsberg Pottery vase, signed with Josef Eckberg's mark and dated 1920. It's on my "safe place" shelf for sure!

 

Picked up in $4.99 thrift shop bag. First image, two 70s Dawn dolls and a Heidi with cut hair. Second photo Liddle Kiddles, circa late 60s-early 70s. The two with short legs are first issues.

 

I had the Dawn dolls, sold at a yard sale a good 25 years ago. The were well played-with so probably not worth a pile.

 

I have a bunch with clothing and shoes I will sell as a lot.

 

Who knew Navajo weavings could be round? Not me.

As @Taupou has explained, Navajo weavings are done on a vertical loom and feature a continuous warp--the foundation thread that runs up and down vertically and holds the weft, which are the various threads that become the visual design.

Doing that on a circular loom seems quite complicated!

The grey one is 20" across and the red one is 22". And, I got a great deal on 'em!
