Found 1970's Christmas Photos!

Who loves short shorts? That gnome sure does. I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with older photos - the date on the bottom, is that the development date or is that the date the photo was taken? If it's the photo date, would the camera automatically log the date or something? If it's the photo date, who still has their Christmas decorations up in April? I took mine down earlier this month!

The gnome one is my favourite. Found at Goodwill last week or something.




Found April 1972 Christmas Photos.

Fabulous Finds!

I'm quite happy with my recent finds in this post!


You'll see I found some vintage photos, the photos date from the 50's, 60's & 70's. When time permits, I shall scan them for closer enjoyment. One Christmas shot has got a gnome in it. The Hole 'Live Through This' cassette has been on my wishlist for about 3-4 years. I check out the cassette section specifically for it every time I thrift. I knew persistence would pay off, I just didn't think it would take this long. I never mentioned it, but I had bought the CD from Goodwill a few months ago for a buck. I already own about 5 copies, but I hate to see it in a thrift for a buck. Best album ever made. 51cents for the cassette. $3.03 for the photos.

Some closer shots of the photos.



The Anything Book. I had missed this during my trips to Goodwill, as it has been there since February 23rd, paid 99cents. It's blank inside, beautiful pink, soft corduroy. Absolutely beautiful. I love it. I picked up this ceramic shoe yesterday in Vaughan Mills. I'm adding it to my ceramic shoe collection... now have 2! It's a souvenir from Chateau Frontenac, Quebec, Canada. Quite an exciting little piece. Came in a bag with a bunch of other unmentionables for $2.99.


Now onto some buttons. Got the lot for $1.99. New Kids on the Block Christmas button, Alf "No Problem!" button from 1987, & a sexy Hulk Hogan pin from 1985. I had forgotten completely about that sexy piece of meat. Also pictured is a Tag Team "Whoomp! There It Is!" cassette single - 99cents.


All items from Value Village, except for the Hole cassette & Anything Book.
