Around 1900, Italian soprano Lina Cavalieri (1874-1944)

was considered the most beautiful woman on earth.

And She Was

Coming Home.... Back to my home town...

I was lucky enough to get myself an

ETSY Treasury.

I am feeling very nostalgic as I just returned

home from a trip to my home town in Saskatchewan.

The air and sky is different in Saskatchewan,

it feels higher there for some reason.

The only thing I can say is I don't miss the

90 mile an hour wind that whips across the prairie!

It is so beautiful there..

Here are some photo's to share with you....

This weeks Nostalgia was prompted by the Movie "Stand By Me"

What a GOOD Movie!!

I recall as a kid not fearing the train tracks at all..

as a matter of fact, they were very access able and a group of us

would frequently go to them to

squish pennies!

Now many many moons later,

the thought of a train

barreling along gives me a huge fright!

But I do miss the late night whistles that

bring me straight back to child hood.

Look Look What I found!!! Nostalgic Niblets

Ahh the thrill of the hunt.. I love to look for tidbits like this.

The little Golden book...

The Creampetal Grindley saucer with 18Kt gold...

and my fav the Hula Honeys coasters!!

I always have loved the "Shag" Tiki thing..

For those of you who have yet to be introduced to Shag..

Welllll... You must take a peek!!

and.. Aloha!!!
