My Dad made this airplane when I was in grade school. It's a "Fly Baby" and he made it in the basement of our house. My Dad passed away 12 years ago. He was a very talented man. It's too bad that the airplane is a one seater...we never got to fly in it. The plane is still around and in another state. Just a little something I've been meaning to share for awhile. :)
Treasures from the estate house. The bottle on the right is a deep purple and the little shaker on the left is a pretty blue.
Very old mason jars. I have seen a square one and now it's mine. The one on the right is dated. I just had to buy 1 of her oil lamps. Love the little foot stool and it's needlework. I don't know if the lady of the house did the needlework...I'm guessing she did.
The sale went well today. MANY item were sold. Tomorrow is 1/2 to 1/3 off and I expect that the house will empty out. We are also doing 5.00 bag sale with the stuff on the back porch. They can fill the back with stuff for 5.00...
I'm off to watch some TV and then to bed. It's the night where we set back out clocks...so I get 1 hour of "extra" sleep.
I will have more treasures to show you later in the week...
Warmly,
Deb :)

Dad's are so very special ... I still have mine he's 81 ...

Great article about your Dad! It's wonderful that you were all fortunate enough to have the story live forever in the newspaper. That's one of the the nice thing about print media! And look at you, standing so proudly next to him, little skinny legs and all! ; ) Soo cute!

Great stuff you got there! You know I'm loving that enamel coffee pot and the sewing machine drawer! The stool is so pretty! Twyla
Oh I wish I could have been at the Estate Sale. It's been a while since I went to a sale or auction.
Loved the story about your dad's plane - I bet there's more to it, though. I'm glad you have good memories of your dad!
And I think I forgot to tell you that I received your ATC last week (told you mail was slow!). I love it! The little witch is so cute! The card you sent it in is great, too. Thanks Deb ☺

Your dad was so talented! I can't believe that plane cost $1,000 to build. You must have had a massive basement.
Looks like you picked up some great stuff, Deb. I like that foot stool. Your new header is very cute.
Hey Deb!
How wonderful that your dad made an airplane...that is amazing! I know this newspaper article is very special to you. I am glad you shared that with us.
I love that needlepoint stool...I don't think I could have passed that up either, it's gorgeous....hubby loves aqua ball jars too, I use a set of old ones for keeping my sugar, tea bags, and cornmeal in. I love them too! It sounds like the Estate Sale di very well...that's great that you got Christmas taken care of too, God always provides...yes, he does. I hope you have a great week! It felt great to gain an hour didn't it?!
Big Hugs,
Queenie
Love the new header....m.

Hi Deb !! Wow, You must have been so proud of your Dad :) That is a great memento to have. Thank you SO much for the card and letters Dear friend. Sorry I have been so flaky in thank you, but I wanted you to know how much that meant to me :) You are a DEAR !! :) Hugs :) Rhea
Deb, I sure hope your Estate sale went well. I love the article about your dad, my husband had a neighbor that built a boat in his back yard, while he was growing up. Best wishes to your husbands Escrow they sure do take a lot longer these days! Hugs & Kisses, Diane
Hi Sis ~ your dad sounds soo cool!
Glad the sale went well...wish I lived closer, you know I would have been there with bells on!
Still waitin for the grandbaby to get here...can't wait...Cassie needs an attitude adjustment and SOON!

I love your mason jars. I have a couple that are dated, too. That was the year they were patented, they made them up into the early 1900s. Wow, can't believe you dad made an airplane.
