Started moving stuff from a storage unit to the new house and rediscovered this beautiful glass set. Amethyst glass with silver overlay. I don’t know the maker yet.

I am not sure if there are #tree people here yet but my dad is concerned about his maple tree. When I googled pealing tree bark it was everything from natural/normal to bugs or disease etc.

Upstate NY if that is useful to anyone.

When I buy #postcard lots from one of my friends, he usually tosses in some surprise freebie cards he either thinks I would like for my collection, or that he knows I like to sell.

I think he did an excellent job with this #diatom postcard! Definitely staying with me!

I have seen thousands of #postcards since I started my business but sometimes there are ones that stand out. I just got this one today. An RPPC of what appears to be a #German 'Going Away' party filled with singing, #champagne and an accordion! Just so good!

ebay.us/98nrxI
Real photo postcard front showing a bunch of german men and women drinking champagne, singing and playing the accordion. Close up of some men on the postcard who have had too much to drink. Man playing the accordion while another man and woman laugh with their champagne. Close up of a group of folks on the postcard singing with the champagne glasses and signs with words in german. One gentleman in the back does not appear amused.
