Type in rock posters in upper left hand corner to see it. Wish I was out west as I am sick and tired of the cold. My dream is to live in Carlsbad, CA, but it will never come to pass.

All the displays and other stuff plus so many shows. I always envied the jewelry people that could waltz in with a few cases. My booth looks like a turd. I kid you not. My son brought some stuff to sell and is searching for an internship and needs the money, which pushed the booth over the top. Literally. It is so full, it looks terrible. Much too small a space, but I can't stand paying more for more space. Plus, they take a cut. But, there is a lot of neat stuff; store displays, advertising, paintings and a circus poster - all antiques (except my son's stuff.) Such is life. I can't even remember what the blimp was for but it opens and could hold coins, sewing kit, ???donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-12176659188941517512016-02-01T12:56:42.741-06:002016-02-01T12:56:42.741-06:00Meant to ask, what is the blimp-like object?

I, too, am more in favor of snips and snails... and find all your treasures on display very interesting.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-63917369278815512032016-01-31T19:36:34.335-06:002016-01-31T19:36:34.335-06:00I would have several if I could.

Many of my dogs have been bitten by raptors and they've all lived, though I had to rush them to the vet. They were bigger than the weenies and I won't take that chance. Besides, I have stepped over many a snake that I didn't see until mid step. Otherwise, I wouldn't kill a fly. donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-63760284930829339892016-01-30T14:17:51.052-06:002016-01-30T14:17:51.052-06:00I too am a collector of what my father always desc...I too am a collector of what my father always described as 'ill-considered trifles'.
