I have gotten to where I post the same piece into three different blogs which is stupid---especially since this one charges me every month and the others are free. I will miss this one since I like some of the options it gave me. So this one will disappear completely at the end of May. If you want to keep reading me please go to my sister sites:

and now my last blog here...
eBay is as addictive as crack. Seven or eight summers ago I blew over a thousand dollars on vintage photos of cute kids in sailor suits, prisoners working in fields, world war one and two photos, and vintage flapper girl glamour shots. Over a hundred of these photos are between a hundred and a hundred and fifty years old (little dags and tin types). Sadly I had misplaced all of these during a move two years ago. I was delighted to find them again this weekend. On one hand it is ironic to be desperately broke and yet have these very cool things which I can not quickly turn into cash. On the other hand I love them dearly and now with my cool loft I have an awesome place to display them again.
I wish I could explain to you my fascination with flappers, and hippies, and beatnik girls.
I love them, but every flapper girl in my collection is likely dead by now.
I am fighting against my tendency towards clutter in my big wall but small space loft. Displaying my treasures and maintaining some feng shui sanity is proving a daunting task. At some point I will have to cull out the best of the best and throw the rest back on eBay---so I can build up my paypal account for new treaures...
Daddyo, nobody reads these holiday posts...now I have to get back to work
