Featured JOHN MCINNIS AUCTION COMING--VERY COOL STUFF!!!!!

Love all the mugs. I had no idea novelty mugs went that far back.
I usually ignore the mug shelf in thrift stores. Not any more.

 

I love the houses! Who doesn't love quaint?????

 

That actually was written yesterday in regards to the sweet homes........I saw the "grayed" words a moment ago and wondered, had I failed to "click" reply at the time I wrote them? Well obviously I did fail.

Two mistakes right after one another.....no post and calling James John!!

 

Acquitaine............I think I remember you referencing McInnis's auctions before, and I just assumed you probably lived closer to his auction house.

You must have attended Brimfield many many times over the years. That's where the stroller came from. I think it was a dealer from the South who offered it.

I suppose any one of us who have attended Brimfield through the years have probably touched elbows..... so to speak.

James, if my brother wasn't coming from Yuma, AZ, I might have been attending the upcoming auction, and witnessing the sale of the beloved box myself.

I must go to the website and look for the mugs......the only ones I know that sell today are some of the Starbucks mugs......!!

 

Janice collected quite a few mugs.......and probably nary from Starbucks!

I always look at the mugs at the thrifts......never bought an antique one there, but I must confess to buying Starbucks for resale.

I look them up before I buy tho. Not all are desired!!

 

@Any Jewelry, Now I understand the significance, but what is the connection.....That I DON'T understand???? Or maybe I worded that backwards

 

I am Dutch, I understand funny wording.
AuD and I thought of Rosebud (sled) because of the picture you posted of this sled:

Just association, I know.

 

But what's the connection to the "Rosebud" sled......that's what I'm missing???? Was it posted here somewhere before???

 

OH, and I forgot.....EVERY time McInnis has an Auction, HaHa, I get an email!!!!! Besides, I STILL LOVE looking at this stuff!!!!!!

 

Just an association, comes from watching Citizen Kane too often.
Rosebud was the name Kane whispered on his deathbed. During the entire movie a journalist tries to find out what Rosebud means. At the end he finds the child's sled with the name Rosebud. A greedy and power-hungry man's one true happiness.

 

This reminds me that I wrote a paper about Citizen Kane in a film history class as an undergraduate student. I loved that class! And the film is great, too.

 

AWWWW, that's so sad!! But thanks for clearing it up for me!!!!!
