TAKE ME AWAY—PREFERABLY SOMEWHERE FUN AND ROMANTIC

TGIF (That’s good I’m Fine) any plans??? Yesterday was taxes and a stop by the Enzian ww.enzian.org/food/eden_bar to bother Andrew and Ashley.

Finished another series–Nora Roberts’ The Inn of Boonsboro Trilogy–The Perfect Hope. Series is a good romance about 3 men involved in re-habing an inn, the women who fall in love with them while they’re doing it and the mysterious ghost who seems to be over seeing it all. They were fun, light romances that Roberts does so well. http://www.noraroberts.com/books/allbooks.php#2011

So given all this what’s our interest today? How about vacations and/or vacation spots.

I have several old pamphlets from either sites in Florida that are no longer there (Brochure from Six Gun Territory near Ocala where Burt Reynolds got started acting which is worth about $7–sweet since it was given free) or ones that show changes (another brochure this one from Busch Garden from the 80’s again worth about $7). I also have a packet of the 10th birthday celebration at Walt Disney World (a rare free invitation only event where Disney closed the park to everyone but the invitees) including the invitations, the passes we wore and the program—and an ad for the event which I’m asking $50 for entire packet. Also several even older from Michigan (Greenfield Village and Ft Mackinaw) attractions.

Let’s see what’s out there on Google (and maybe in your closet):

Of course we need posters: 1969 Holland American ocean liner ($12), 1958 Grace Line ocean liner ($100), 1930 French Railway ($590), and 1939 Pan Am ($895).

Refrigerator magnet (100/$69)

lots of travel accessories:
Alligator suit case 1950 ($53)
Make up travel case 1940 ($65)
Bar travel set ($55)
Travel Iron 1950’s ($26)

The required:
Post cards one very vintage (New York $15) and a group (various destinations 47/$15)

Lots of Travel Desert Magazines (a full year 1940’s $39 and 1950’s $30)

Colorado pamphlet (2/$12)

Weirdest: A shot glass from Perham, Minn. with inscription (and a bulls eye) “Don’t shoot the bartender”.

My Favorite: A Key West (Fl) silver spoon ($20)
There were others with Seattle going for $15 and Buffalo $25.

but the Oscar goes to an 18th Century, antique (duh), wooden, Swedish travel trunk (enough adjectives already)
for $2,249–you could take a lot of vacations in the 18th century for that kind a dough.

Do you have any trunks (like I did) with old vacation items? Or really old wooden, etc, etc? Go check quick. I’m interested in helping you find the value and getting them listed for you.

HERE’S YOUR WEEKEND ORDERS: GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY.
