When I was a little girl my parents had several different cassette tapes of classic (30s & 40s) radio shows, amongst which were great old Jack Benny programs. I can't even begin to count how many times I feel asleep listening to Jack and Rochester on my little red cassette walk-man.<br /><br />I haven't come across any Ken Carson records lately, but if I spy any in the future for a good deal, I'll be sure to pick them up for you, dear gal.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-7622874905047955772012-11-20T19:33:09.179-08:002012-11-20T19:33:09.179-08:00OOooooOoooooOOOOOoohhh!

I'm a huge fan of the Jack Benny radio show, and the Dennis Day show was swell, too. I would love to go record-sailing sometime-- I'm on the lookout for all Ken Carson records I can find. I know they're out there somewhere. :D People called him "Better than Sinatra", and I quite agree! But as of yet, I've not found any of his records at thrift stores around here, though I see them for exorbitant prices on Ebay. *sighs* I just love records......so much better than those inpersonal MP3s and things they have now, though those are a bit more practical. ;) Madisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166601157110603610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-53561394078200467952012-11-18T14:57:51.636-08:002012-11-18T14:57:51.636-08:00Don't you love yard sales?

Occasionally it may have helped (and once in a blue moon I'll mention that I wear vintage all the time, sleep/eat/breath vintage, etc if it's relevant to a conversation I'm having with a seller), but more of it has to do with shrewd bargaining and years upon years (I've been yard saling since I was a child) of hunting for bargains and have no qualms with walking away from something if the seller won't come even close to what I'd be willing to pay for it. You never know though, what goes on in people's minds, so it's possible that my vintage outfits may have helped in that regard more often then I've been aware of. Either, way wearing vintage certainly can't hurt things! :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-90318003066156317442012-11-17T06:22:58.840-08:002012-11-17T06:22:58.840-08:00Be still my heart!

I like to think I make at least a bit of my own luck on the yard sale front, as I have no qualms with sorting through countless piles of items that I'm not interested in to ferret out the hidden vintage treasures. Then I bargain on just about everything to get the price down as low as possible. Still, I rather like your idea that maybe I have a bit of yard sale karma on my side. I sure hope so! :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-74230142447740237502012-11-17T02:18:58.975-08:002012-11-17T02:18:58.975-08:00Thank you very much, dear lady.

I was so pleased with how things went this year and am so eager for the next season to begin. It is, however, nice to have my Saturdays free to do various things again for a while though - such as more time for writing blog posts, doing crafts, hanging with Tony, and visiting family. <br /><br />Etsy (and eBay - my online Achilles' heel! ;) ) can be so risky for the wallet, I completely agree (especially since, over all, prices have really, really shot up on both over the past two to three years), but that rarely stops me from at least window shopping and wish list making :)<br /><br />Thank you again, both for this and your other lovely comment, today. I really appreciate them and hope that you have a marvelous weekend.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-82203208056364147742012-11-17T01:55:05.061-08:002012-11-17T01:55:05.061-08:00Dearest Jessica, I am so glad you found so many tr...Dearest Jessica, I am so glad you found so many treasures amongst the rubble of the yard sales. I much prefer older things than new, and no what a bummer it can be somedays- when you have very little to show for all your sifting through the rubbish. I am especially in love with the Xmas cookbooks and old records. I grew up listening to old crooners....and now they form the basis of my Christmas music collection. So sorry that you'll have no more yard sales for a while..... you might have to spend a little more time on etsy? But that can be sooooo dangerously expensive princesspincurlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05046317156348088987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-86967447405484792462012-11-17T01:04:52.991-08:002012-11-17T01:04:52.991-08:00Hello dear Jessica,

I love to garage sale, but I didn't even hit a single one this year.<br /><br /><br />As a collector of teacups, I LOVE the ones you found, especially that Royal Albert one. My belief is that one can never have too many teacups. Tea just seems to taste better and feel more relaxing when it is sipped from a beautiful teacup instead of a mug.<br /><br />As you know, I adore Frank Sinatra, and I absolutely love that album. I also am coming to love Dino quite a bit, though he will never replace Frank as my favorite singer. Even if I found those terrific records at a yard sale or thrift store, it would do me no good, since I have long been without a record player. While I clung tightly to CD's for years, my kids eventually convinced me to take the plunge into the world of MP3 players. Let me tell you, while downloading an album (or song) to my player is convenient and requires no storage space in my house, it is not the same as holding an album or CD (with its booklet of lyrics) in your hand.<br /><br />My grandmother had that Sound of Music album. I listened to it quite often when I was at her house. <br /><br />Finally, I LOVE the little elephants. They are completely and totally adorable. I recall that I had a set of figurines (dogs, I think) connected with those little chains. That must have been a fad of the 1960's.<br /><br />Well, have a wonderful day. I'll be responding to your email as soon as I can.<br /><br />Love,<br />PattiPatti https://www.blogger.com/profile/12931836399684850729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-29363667753607448232012-11-16T05:06:22.118-08:002012-11-16T05:06:22.118-08:00I cannot begin to tell you how much I envy your el...I cannot begin to tell you how much I envy your elephants! I have a little elephant collection that continues to grow. I'm with you on the Sinatra love. I have several records of his as well.<br /><br />Seeing this post makes me want to share some of my vintage/antique things - my mother and I can't resist an antique store, so I have fallen in love with (and taken home) many pretty little objects over the years.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-34579041020248771812012-11-16T04:13:21.969-08:002012-11-16T04:13:21.969-08:00Wow!

And now I'm really feeling my age to see so many things from my childhood--I loved figurines, particularly poodles with tiny chains and puppies, elephants, elegant ladies, etc. As for the records, we still listen to them and love the sound of any Christmas LP.
