Final postcards of the day. Deanna Durbin's popularity in the UK was such that I have more postcards of her than anyone else. Nan Grey appeared alongside her in two films: Three Smart Girls (1936) & Three Smart Girls Grow Up (1939).
Nan was married to singer Frankie Laine for over 40 years.

Probably the weirdest football lot I have put on eBay. Not sure why I felt I needed a collection of Soviet Union football books. Selling only for a tenner though they cost me a bit more

Bought this today for 50p. It seems to have had an intersting history. First of all someone bought it brand new and sealed but never played it before donating it to charity. This is where the Gift Aid sticker comes in. So once more it was bought without being played.

Back to vintage postcards with Ronald Colman and Shelley Winters who appeared together in 1947's A Double Life. For Colman, it saw him win his only Best Actor Oscar. He had been nominated three times previously.
For Shelley this was seen as her breakthrough role, she went on to win two Oscars.

Day 229 of traipsing through my music and movie postcards as always we start with music. Had to buy an Olivia Rodrigo fan magazine to get these. Thankfully my granddaughter was more than happy to get the magazine and stickers.

So, as some of you may recall I saw in the New Year playing singles with a dozen members of my family. This year I plan to do an all Scottish line up. So picking up some odds n sods over the last wee bit. Had to involve cd singles as the 7" would cost too much. #weekendsingles

One for #cdfriday, a good compilation but some of the tracks I have elsewhere such as the theme song by the Bodeans. I don't have Stevie Nicks version of Free Fallin' which is pretty good nor the Chaka Khan / Bruce Hornsby song. Then there's Rusted Root, Rickie Lee Jones & more. #cdsky

Ok this week's buys, a bit more than the three last week although I seem to have added the Proclaimers & Camel ones from last week in here too. Sadly all were 99p or £1 so a wee bit of cost with this lot #cdfriday

Back to vintage postcards with Greta Lovisa Gustafsson & Spangler Arlington Brugh or rather Greta Garbo & Robert Taylor. Both major stars in their time and appeared together in the 1936's 'Camille'. Garbo was nominated for her performance, one of four but she was never to win. #FilmSky
