Patina

Isn't it fun getting packages in the mail? Even though I knew what it was, it's always like opening up a birthday gift.

So what do you think it was?

I'll let you think about it a bit.

I have been busy today taking pictures and listing things on Ebay

I bought a few Barbie items at an estate sale this week-end. I don't know anything about what's collectible and what's not, I took a chance. They were in very nice condition. In fact, they didn't look like any one had ever played with them. Certainly, if they have been played with, it was very gently and carefully. So Barbie, actually it's Mitzi, had a photo session today, modeling all her pretty clothes. I can sure understand why little girls love them so.

We also took a trip to Monticello. We sold a dresser today and we wanted to replace it with a new one, Yeah! I love it when the big items move.

Well, did you figure it out?

What is in this long wooden box?

STAMPS!

Lots and lots of stamps!

I think these are so fun!

One of the gals at the shop was selling these stamps individually and I thought they were so wonderful so I searched for a whole set on Ebay. I actually found two sets, a smaller one and this larger one. I was going to get the smaller one but my #1 said, "You might as well get the big one, it's a much better deal", ok, you talked me into it! Gotta love that #1!
