Today I have 1920s - and earlier - sheet music cover puzzles. At least three times in the last 6 months, I've been at flea markets, and found whole boxes of these song sheets.  All with fantastic covers.

suh'm old and rare

I've posted a couple of these before.

Here's another one.

The idea is to read every other line, which gives you the message:

Bag o' the Day

The print for today's bag was found on a Victorian trade card.

A VERY cute Victorian trade card, depicting kittens and butterflies.

The image on the actual bag is sharp as a tack, not blurry like what you see here.

(I try and try and try, and still can't get this right)

The Tuesday Song of the Week

Haven't heard this one in ages, until I heard it last week in the supermarket.

'Love Light in Flight' - Stevie Wonder

Even though I love this song, the ending of it does go on too long.  

The Star Made Me Buy It

Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. for Stetson Hats

Handsome guy, spiffy hat.

Whenever I hear or take part in a conversation of old movies, and the name Douglas Fairbanks comes up, it's always that they're referring to Douglas Jr.  Or other times, they're talking about Douglas Fairbanks Sr. (which is very rare because almost all of his output was in silent movies), but they'll refer to him as Douglas Fairbanks, Jr.
