#randomthingsicollect Ken Doll 1961

I have been on the hunt for 1959 Barbie doll as that was the year I was born by my great Aunt Ruth that bought it for me. I managed to keep it in pristine condition even though I had ripped all the heads and cut off the hair on my cousins dolls. Great Aunt Ruth took me to a toy store on Sherbrooke Street in Montreal and bought the brunette for me instead of the blonde. I had the doll, her outfit in the original box till my eldest was 2 1/2. I gave it to her thinking she was mature enough to take care of it. Within the hour I came in her room to see she had cut the hair, removed the head and destroyed the box. Holy shit is this history repeating itself ? And now 37 years later I am on the hunt for it.

Last week I was bidding for this very doll that slipped out of my hands to someone who outbid me for $1.00. Talk about bad luck. But the up side is that I won the Ken doll on another bid.

So here he is the Vintage 1961, Flocked Blonde Hair Ken doll. #750 Ken. Ken™, Pats. Pend.,(The blonde's hair has rubbed off except around the edges) ,©MCMLX by Mattel Inc Straight leg, Japan Foot. Barbie's Boyfriend. All that is missing now is the original box, the Cork Sandals and Shirt and yellow towel.

I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f

End of a collection #Breweriana

For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out. update this batch which had lots
