October but online it looks the way December used to look (Christmacy). I have some Italy Angels & Cherubs to share with you!

All are marked Italy. Musician figurines. Vintage polymer (repose) resin (I am not an expert). The attention to detail is noteworthy.

I found these in an unlikely place, and they are ready to view in my Etsy shop.

Bucket List: Popular with some people, long for others, exotic even. Mine is simple and just recently acquired.

#1: Be a bell ringer at Christmas for the Salvation Army which I plan on doing this year.

#2: Probably odd. I want to become friends with a horse. I don't want to ride it, or sit on it or be responsible for it. I just want the social aspect. I have always underestimated horses even though I like animals. A co-worker pointed this out to me 20 years ago. She had a horse with a sense of humor. That piqued my interest. So I am working on that one...

 

Nostalgic this Week. You can tell by the items. And Woolworth Diner -- Lunch Counter.

Visit my Esty shop to see these items.

Soft leather wallet with nice compartments. Unisex. These were around in the 70s and later. This one is clean and looks unused.  Trends change with wallets just like most things.

Pin Keeper or Pin Holder plus an advertising piece for Prudential Life Insurance.  1920s - 1930s. 

The straight pins are on the side. These are not used. Clever and has emotional appeal to the person who rocks the cradle.  Tradition times for roles.

 Worry Dolls from Guatemala. In this light weight box. Tell each one a worry before you go to sleep and put them under your pillow. In the morning, results vary. Kids like the little dolls too.
