The Tuesday Song of the Week

I've been hoping this song would eventually end up on YouTube.

FINALLY it has!

It's beautiful, it's marvelous -- and it sound REALLY good with the sound turned up to the high heavens.

'Lasciati Amare' - Albano Carrisi

today's antiques and untiques

A small-ish collection, but there is soooooooooo much more still in the pipeline.

Here we go!

Is your name Sprague?  SOLD

Neat pin, once belonging to a Sprague employee.

Sprague employee never took it off its original card.  Maybe he got the pin, then got a job with Sprague's competition, and therefore never wore it.  But he enjoyed his time with Sprague, so he kept it.  

 =======================================================================

Maavelous Ernest Borel watch pendant

This is a wind-up watch that WORKS, and keeps PERFECT time.  Plus, as if the foregoing was not enough, the chain is gold-filled.   

========================================================================

Now these are something mega-special, 

to wit circa 1900 Derby Silver quardruple plate teapot and other pot.    SOLD

 Why do I say 'other pot,' when they both look like teapots?? 

That's because one is a little taller than the other.  If you've ever seen the classic 19th century tea set, there are two teapot-looking pots.  One for tea, obviously.  The other is for coffee?  Or glühwein? Or Ovaltine?  I honestly have no idea, which you may have already concluded.

Both came from the same place, looking almost black with tarnish, and looking only fit for the trash heap.  But they polished up BEAUTIFULLY.  And they look waayyyyy better in person than they look in the photos.  
=========================================================================

So that's it for today.  But know this: much MUCH more is on its way.

Do not Do not Do not

Do NOT order clothes from Minachic.

You'll see their ads on Facebook, showing all kinds of attractive -- to me at least -- linen and cotton dresses and blouses and stuff.

I made the mistake of ordering.  

What I ended up getting were a few shoddy garments that would fit a woman who weights at least 250 pounds more than I do.   One would be very suitable for someone planning to appear on My 600 Pound Life.  

Naturally, I wanted to return them.  Minachic's return dealie is that you email service@minachic, give them the order number, and you'll get return/exchange instructions back.

Don't believe it.  You will NEVER hear back from them about their garbage clothes.

I wish wish wish I had seen this first:  https://www.trustpilot.com/review/minachic.com

The Tuesday Song of the Week

The song here is subsumed by the dancing.  

Which is mind-blowingly awesome, and which I've watched five times already.

'What Lola Wants' - Gwen Verdon

If I'm ever stopped on the street by a genie offering me three wishes, one of them would be to have Gwen Verdon's body, as seen in this clip.
