# 23 of MY THIRTY DAYS OF THANKSGIVING

 Boy,  it seems that this month of November has galloped by.

Another week and we will be turning the calendar page again.

First as I said yesterday, we are thankful for our slow return to health ... progress is always the best.

So, on to # 23 of my days of Thanksgiving.

The last 2 weeks have been good for sales of some of our "Treasures" on eBay.

Thought I would show you several of the Eclectic items we have sold.

Not big money but hallelujah... they are out of the house and into someone else's domain.

SOLD  

1) Goofy plush backpack  new



2)  Set of antique clip on Christmas tree candle holders

These Dave's Grandma put on her tree way back when and so did Dave's Mom just for a few moments every holiday...much to his Dad's annoyance (he was the post's fire marshall).


3) Pooh and Piglet figurine



4)  Spaghetti-O's 25 anniversary  bowl 



5)  Italian glass decanter


Very Vintage hand crocheted pot holders


6)  Movie Academy directory 1988
lots of b&w photos of actors and their bios.



7)   vintage pocket knives


And the list goes on.

We are so thankful for the financial help and the purging that goes on.

What are you thankful for this Season?

Those are some interesting items you have there! Wow! Those antique candle holders are special. I do hope no one will actually light any candles in them, however. I wonder if there are battery operated candles that could fit in them?? That would be nice. Love that blue glass decanter. Does it look like a duck or goose? You have so many unique items. Where on earth did you find them all? And those pot holders don't even have a stain on them! Must not have been used...in my kitchen they would be dirty with the first use! LOL. I'm glad you are "cleaning up" in two ways...making money and cleaning out stuff! Great win win! Happy Thanksgiving!

Well good for you! You had some fun things! I've been purging but I don't think my things are good enough to be sold. :)
Happy Thanksgiving!

The academy award directory is pretty cool. 1988 is probably the last time I watched them. I used to be a Hollywood fan, probably because my mom was star-struck and we always had a Photoplay magazine and Modern Screen, on our coffee table. Now, lm actually pleased I don’t know any of the actors and actresses of today. LOL.

I have some vintage pocketknife’s from my dad. I like the blue decanter! Pretty.

I used to sell used books on Half.com years ago - I think eBay bought them?? After my folks died I sold on eBay. I haven’t looked at eBay in years. I should check it out again.

Good you’re getting better. Talked to my son today and he sounded a lot better! It really hit him hard.
Enjoy the weekend.

Way to go, Sue! I never heard of those candle holders, but they sound delightfully Victorian. Someone's little boy or girl will be over the moon to get that Goofy backpack.

I'm thankful for these slow quiet days of decorating and LD 'peeling' pecans. God is good~

Ginny Hartzler said...

Somehow, I just cannot picture you with a Goofy backpack...

yay for your sales and hope they pick up even more, people are looking for Christmas gifts. glad you are both feeling better... I don't think I have ever seen the candle holders except on Christmas cards and old movies.

You had some extremely interesting things - and I am glad they sold. Can you believe that they used to put lit candles on the Christmas trees? Hopefully you will sell more now at Christmas!

Shug said...

I hope you all are feeling much better!! These are some really neat items. the pocket knifes caught my eye. My grandsons all carry pocket knifes and I have one that collects them... Glad for all of your sales... Happy Sunday...

Rose said...

I am glad you can sell things and make a bit of money. And you know whoever got them is so, so happy.

Fun to see what you posted. I've often thought of selling things ..don't know where to start ..maybe Ebay. Anyway, nice Thanksgiving gratitude and how is this month going so fast. I am grateful for my 10 grandkid, a girl born on 11/19. And for the rest of the gang.
