I usually have a hard time finding Thanksgiving stuff, but this year I have found several items. Gotta love those old Hawaiian records too!PixieVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15883091581991643357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026438103706478006.post-11349647700599854182014-01-11T08:52:17.226-05:002014-01-11T08:52:17.226-05:00Thanks, Mod Betty!

Visiting the Canadian side will now definitely be part of our plans based upon your recommendation! And Buffalo now sounds like a consideration as well!

I imagine that they considered the fact that, on a day like Saturday, there would be little competition and that their chance at a successful sale would still be good. Of course, only an indoor sale would have been possible (Rob)Rob and Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549694581084193823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026438103706478006.post-86848679011229855152014-01-11T07:36:21.847-05:002014-01-11T07:36:21.847-05:00We spent a short weekend in Niagara Falls and if I...We spent a short weekend in Niagara Falls and if I can make a suggestion - as much as it breaks my heart to not be able to champion the USA - stay on the Canadian side of the falls. So much nicer, cleaner, happier! The US side is a shell of what it used to be, and while that bums me out usually, the fact that this is a direct portal from one country into ours - almost like the front door of your home - it's extra embarrassing to have it look so depressed and falling apart. I want to tell (insert government agency who could get it done) for them to spruce it up so we at least make a nice first impression on our international neighbors! <br /><br />That said there is a kitschy Niagara Falls gift shop that has a wax museum in it. I bought some NOS old souvenirs and as I type this am kicking myself that we didn't check out the museum!<br /><br />Down the road apiece there's plenty of awesome vintage stuff in Buffalo NY. Shuffle Off To Buffalo as the song says!

If there is snow, don't even think about it.Granny Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18165058412950953296noreply@blogger.com
