Desperate Measures

Where have all the Vera scarves and other signature scarves gone?  I used to find one just about every week, I haven't seen any for a month - so, withdrawal sets in when you don't find any and then, on top of that, discussing Vera with my good friend, Carol-that's what I mean, desperate measures had to be taken-purchases made on Ebay and Etsy.  It was the first time I had ever won a lot - it was a lot of four, the seller included two extras - that was so nice of her!!    I bought a couple of other individual ones too over the past few weeks- sure hope my luck turns around soon for thrifting scarves...

This is a sheer one - so pretty!

Ladybug on this one

And this one

I thought this might be interesting to resell - I found these two souvenirs of Jamaica - I guess they're runners?  I think I paid 50 cents.

Our little town has a new store and it's antiques and collectibles -the owner also sells on consignment, I took four articles over the other week, dropped in last week to see if there was any movement, nothing, but I bought this great old Androck sifter - I placed it with  the rest of the  display above my cupboards, it is way nicer than the plain old sifter I had up there before.   I just found the Androck nut crusher last week, both made in Canada.

I had been talking to the shop owner about The Doors - I asked if he had any Doors albums - he didn't, when I went in this week, he said he thought of me - he was out "pickin"  and got a bunch of records - he sold it to me for $5 - I'm pretty sure he could have gotten a whole lot more for it - it's their first album - released in January of 1967, it still has the plastic on it.  I've listened to it a few times already - some great tunes  - Break on Through, Soul Kitchen, Whisky Bar, Light My Fire, Back Door Man - it's great.  Love The Doors!
