How ’bout I had a decent buying weekend?
Finally. Hope it doesn’t let up for awhile. Well, maybe long enough for me to get some money back, but it sure was nice last weekend to finally get something to show for the gas I’d used. For a couple of months now, the only money I’ve been spending has been gas money. Not good. Money going out with nothing to show for it.
Last weekend was unusual in that I found vintage clothes. I don’t always run across clothes. Now I’m hording them until I get enough not to be a flash in the pan seller. Got to find a couple of models, too. My tall, majorette niece will do it, but everything is not going to fit her.
Starting with the stuff, here it is in all it’s yard sale glory.
Reddy Kilowatt plate, 1970s mushroom coffeepot, Dansk pepper mill and ’70s Fitz and Floyd candlesticks.
’70s plaid tote bag, Santa coasters, vintage cards, garden fork, hat for the flowers.
Two oak leaf frames. Oak leaf? Is that right? A little cabinet to paint, an old crayon box, another frame and an old, tin, nail box.
Two deco frames and a
1928 Birmingham police department collage picture.

And now the clothes, wrinkles and all. They don’t look very exciting hanging like that, but they’re actually kinda fun. The two long dresses are Gunne Sax. Found at two different sales on the same day. There are a couple of 60s semi formals and some 80s stuff.

Love the treasures you found! The vintage clothes are awesome, although I can remember wearing some dresses like the GunnySax…vintage??…say it ain’t so! :} The one photo with the oak leaf frames, though, love everything there. You can just box it all up, and send to Florida! Promise I’ll give it a good home. *elaine*
I think I had that long navy Gunne Sax dress for a sort of formal affair. I felt very chic at 14-15 years old to bare my shoulders in such a way. What a tramp I was! JK! haha! I really like those oak leaf frames! Glad you had a good shopping weekend!
You did very well at your sales! Love that jacket with the fur collar, beautiful!
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day. Gosh, I’m late in replying!
I love all your vintage clothes and am looking forward to seeing what you do with your new web site. What a chore that is. Are you doing it yourself?

Normally I don’t write detailed posts, but today I decided to share what happened to me about a win at a casino site.
Recently I’ve been playing at nllalabet.com, mostly on weekends and with low bets. I registered because the welcome bonus looked decent and the bonus rules seemed not too bad compared to many other sites. The signup process was no big deal: basic details and simple email verification, then I was good to go.
For my opening deposit I kept it small and put a low amount into my balance. I started with the slots section because that’s what I tend to play. I filtered by trending games and picked a slot with medium volatility, hoping for a decent run.
At first it was pretty standard: small wins and losses and bonus rounds that paid almost nothing, and I was about to quit because my balance was going down. Then luck turned around: I landed a high-paying feature with multipliers all over the screen, the slot kept dropping wins and the multiplier boosted my balance much higher. For me it was a very good hit compared to my regular sessions.
I didn’t keep chasing even more; after a few more test spins I decided to quit while ahead and send a withdrawal request. The withdrawal process was nothing unusual: the casino asked me to upload documents with ID card or passport. I sent everything within an hour, and the verification was confirmed without problems. After that the money was processed to my payment method and I received it within a reasonable time.
I’m not saying this casino is always paying huge, and of course you can also run bad, but in this case my experience was pretty fair: clear terms, normal support and no payout drama. This is not financial advice: losing is part of the game, so only gamble with a strict budget and remember it’s just a game.
