August's Fourth Haul of Antiques and Untiques

A nice collection of rarities and must-haves:

first we have this mahhhvelous cook book

Menus for Entertaining

What's so neat about this cookbook is that it has menus/recipes for a variety of events you might find yourself putting together.

Say you want to do a Hungarian dinner for six, or a formal luncheon for four, or a Thanksgiving dinner for twelve, there's a menu and recipes (99.9% of which I've never heard of) for all these.

Or maybe you wanna do a pique-nique à la Française for four, a Malayan brunch for twelve, or a buffet supper smörgåsbord for sixteen, the book has you covered.  

Plus, there's a recipe for lime chiffon pie that's worth the price of the book.

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

    We be having Libby from the 1939 New York World's Fair  SOLD

 in piggy bank form

Initially, I thought this was Libby the glass company.  But it turns out that Libby the glass company spells its name as Libbey.  So this is Libby the vegetable company.

Something very neato for your collection of 1939 World's Fair collectibles, and/or your collection of vintage advertising items, and/or your collection of old still banks.

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

next up, we have two GORGEOUS marigold carnival glass pitchers SOLD

I couldn't find the pattern for this one: it sorta looks like Rising Sun married with the Hob Star and Arches pattern.

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

This one has the true Rising Sun pattern SOLD

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

Etwas Spaß fűr die Deutsche sprecher

The message on the plate translates as 'Schnapps was His last word,which the angels carried away.'  Presumably to planet Earth.  

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

Lastly, but thousands of miles from leastly, we have a Japanese geisha ware hair receiver. 

Just this week, I got a whole collection of antique hair receivers. Soon to appear here.

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

Paris Is Burning

I remember seeing this movie, liking this movie, but I totally forgot the title. All I remember about it specifically is two Latin boys bitching about straight white women. 

A neat watch if you have any interest in subcultures.  

The Star Made Me Buy It

 Today's star is the very adorable Margaret O'Brien for Warren's Mint Cocktail Chewing Gum

All - or almost all - of the items the stars in my TSMMBI listings are selling are things I've heard of.  I've never heard of Warren's Chewing Gum.  

Margaret O'Brien was one of the cutest child actresses ever.  As talented and cute as Shirley Temple was, Ms. O'Brien was more like a real kid.

In the ad, she's about ten years old.

August's Third Haul of Antiques and Untiques

I'm really ramping things up because a) I really need to empty the garage, and b) things are selling so fast that I don't get a chance to post them here.

Enough about me.

Here's what you came for:

1960s Portugal travel souvenir

Perfect for a musical decor!

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

1976 Rapallo Sagitarrius pendant

The PERFECT gift for anyone you know who's a Sagittarian.

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

red, glorious red, eelskin shoulder bag

I had such a hard time getting a good picture of this bag

but finally, I did. Nevertheless, it's even more gorgeous in person.

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

 

   from red to pink   SOLD

in Venetian glass elephant form!

 

Something AWESOME for your - or a friend's - elephant collection.

Or your - or a friend's - Italian art glass collection.

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

 

next we have something super special...  SOLD

in 1930s still bank form

 

 

The bank has four sections, one each for pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters, AND on the sides you can see the total value in pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters you have.

             How cool is that????
========================================================================

 

At least 30 years earlier than the above bank, we have this very lovely... SOLD

micro-mosaic frame, with instant relatives!

 

Something marvelous for the antique decor, shabby chic decor, eclectic decor

 

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

 

 from micro-mosaic to enamel on copper   SOLD

I found tons of enamel on copper items over the years, but nothing this accomplished

Something cool for the man cave!

 

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

 

That's all for today.

 

HUNDREDS - for reals - of items soon to appear in my Etsy shop.

 

Until then, see more, get more here:

I had no idea how to describe this silhouette image, so I called it a magician

August's Second Haul of Antiques and Untiques

As ever and always, there is still SOOOOOO much still in the pipeline.

These marvels recently exited the pipeline:

Fenton blackberry pattern iridescent marigold carnival glass bowl SOLD

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

GORGEOUSNESS in 1960s rhinestone choker form  SOLD

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

Some more beauty in pink!

OK, so they don't look all that pink in the photo but these are pink-colored faux pearls.

 AND with matching pink button earrings.

more pink than what you see above.

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

 

       Going from the 1960s back to the 1910s   SOLD

a tiny-ish, and very unique cast iron trivet

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

Another item contemporary to that above, i.e. circa 1910...  SOLD

beautiful bird brass ashtray

Even if you don't smoke (and who does nowadays????) this would be perfect for skinny carrots and Pixy Stix.  OR you could use it for loose change, and that.  OR you could just let it be a part of your antique decor, bird decor, and/or your collection of antique ashtrays.

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

 

 fast forward 25 years or so, the most fun, most cute thing I've found in ages (plus it's useful!)

googly-eyed owls salt and pepper shakers

I am really tempted to keep these, so get them before I change my mind.

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

 

That's it for today. 

 

MORE coming soon.

The Tuesday Song of the Week

When I was around age 10 one of my grandmothers passed, and my family inherited her entire record collection, including Al Hirt's Honey in the Horn album, from which comes our swingin' TSOTW.

'Java' - Al Hirt

Mug of the Month

 Something mysterious and colorful and parrot-ey:

Get it here:  https://www.zazzle.com/case_of_the_perjured_parrot_coffee_mug-168289366727185187

A really neat thing would be to have a whole collection of mugs printed with these old mystery novel covers.  

You could find a bunch - and other related stuff with prints of old pulp paperback covers - here:

 https://www.zazzle.com/store/the_olden_eye/products?qs=paperback

There used to be a thrift store in the Villas (Cape May County) that had one room that was all books.  I used to find TONS of these old paperbacks with the awesome covers there. Alas, the owner got sick, the store closed down, and now I have a very hard time finding these kinds of books.

Alas again, years before there was a Zazzle, or even an Etsy, I got two HUGE boxes of these kinds of books at an auction.  They ended up on eBay.  Just wish I'd scanned the covers.

August's first haul of neato old stuff

Marvelous marvels, awesome awesomeness!

And soooooo much more still in the pipeline!!!

Here's what we have for you today:

 lovely dogwood print tablecloth

 I know the photos look weird and terrible.  Just know that this is a VERY pretty tablecloth.

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

Gerold Porzellan Bavaria goose girl and geese

I think if you put this in front of the right kind of background, it would really pop.  A great thing for the shabby chic decor, goose-intensive decor, and/or your collection of Bavarian ceramics.

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

Shoe!

Perfect for a small cactus.  Or for holding pens, pencils or Pixy Stix.  Or for just being pretty.
========================================================================

                   We be having a floral tray set!    SOLD

all marked Made in Italy.

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

Something for the unicorn-loving public

Definitely one of the more attractive unicorn items I've had.

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

Lastly, but many miles from leastly is the final item in our haul, to wit:                                         a cobalt hand-blown glass bud vase with applied enamel

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

Much more soon!
