Summer Time And The Heat Is Coming
Living in Texas is wonderful. If you have never visited here or lived here you should consider it. You never know what the weather is going to do. We have had a very cool July when compared with the previous years. And who knows what August will bring. The weather man says it is going to be very hot now. However, I've heard the weather man say we are going to have a sunny day and it starts pouring rain an hour later. So what ever the weather forth coming at least its been a nice summer, so far. I hope you are having great weather in your area too. At least I will be inside taking pictures and listing the many boxes of items I need to put on ebay and etsy. I have many treasures to list so I decided to just take a box at a time. Wahoo.

Another Challenge Lurks Around The Corner
I'm the proud owner of a new HP computer and printer as you found out a couple of days ago by a previous blog. Here I think I'm all set to list my treasures on Ebay and Etsy, but guess what? Neither one of the two cameras are working properly. So, I have decided to ditch both of them and go buy another camera. I am determined to start selling boxes full of antiques, books, and treasures. And I'm excited on my decision. As my mentor Tony Robbins says, go forth with determination and all will come together.
May all of your troubles be less, your blessing be more and nothing but happiness come through your door.

Boxes and Boxes of Vintage Treasures
Okay, it's time for digging and I do mean some mean, gut renching, down right digging. I have boxes all over my garage, still packed, with no place to put the treasures. Today I decided it's time to load Etsy and Ebay.
In the first box, I found 2 Halloween die cut deco art embossed on heavy cardboard, by H E Luhr, from the 40' and 50's. After researching I found some very interesting information on the die cuts. I knew they were old as I've had them for years.
In the same box I also found some old books and a Vintage Tupperware set. Its a salad dressing server with 3 bowls/lids with the holder. I think I used it for condiments a long time ago. Gosh that thing has to be 30 or 40 years old. Its in mint condition. It's been packed away for a long time.
I have vintage items from overseas, from my mother, and grandmother. I also have antiques and more vintage treasures I purchased through the years when I had my antique and crafts shop. However, realization has set in, I bought a much smaller house than I'm used to and have to depart with a lot of things before they ruin.
Give me a few weeks and I will have my sites loaded. I will let everyone know when I get some of the things on line. It will take me months to get all of these treasures unpacked. I do have my work cut out for me. But I love it.

SWEET COMES IN A SPECIAL WRAPPING
I'm the luckiest person on blogspot. My darling daughter gave up her off day to come and unload my old computer. Then she patiently uploaded my new computer. I'm slightly antique and when it comes to the computer a little ignorant but have promised myself to communicate more with my brain in learning the computer sites.
Thank you so much my darling daughter for all of your help today and also for all of the lessons in computer skills.
