Hello There....
OMG! I see I haven't updated this blog for 5 MONTHS. yikes! where does the time go? I'm sorry little blog, I'll try to do better by you....it's just that tumblr came calling and then google+ (so far I've managed to stay away from pinterest, but I don't know for how long) and also I've been busy listing on etsy, running to the post office, scanning pix and sometimes posting them on flickr, updating my facebook page and twitter once in a while. With all that, plus dealing with daily life...my medication makes me sleepy (but I am in remission currently, yeah!) and some of the astrological aspects of the last few months have been less than pleasant....I'll admit it, sometimes I just get overwhelmed and then I become neglectful.....*sigh*
Anyway, I hope all of you are happy, healthy and doing well. Since it's too late to wish you a nice Summer, I'll wish you a nice Fall instead.........

What's Up?

Happy egg hunting, candy scarfing and cake eating day! Hope you are all having a nice spring as well. Springtime means sales, and currently there is an awesome one going on! Be sure to check out the VMTEAM + VETT= Spring Fling promo. Two of my favorite teams on etsy (and yes, i may be partial since i'm a member of both) are working in tandem to bring you some great deals on vintage. Just go to etsy and type 'vtgspring' into the search bar and see what you can't live without (Don't take too long, tho. The sale ends on May 2nd) ♥
PS: There are new scans on flickr and now CapricornOneVintage has a tumblr account too!

New vintage ad scans on Flickr
I've just posted quite a few vintage ads on flickr. My magazine stashing tendencies are out of control and I must get rid of some. I'm taking apart and scanning stuff out of the ones not worth keeping. It's a work in progress, there are so many. I will be selling some of the better magazines in my Etsy and Artfire stores soon. I'll keep you posted.....

More vintage packaging on flickr
I posted pictures of some of the vintage packaging I found at the hoarder house estate sale....crazy the amount of things that got saved.
click HERE to go there!
The Lysol can just about sums up my childhood. My Great Aunt Hilda (hoarder extrordinare) was totally addicted to it. She carried Lysol everywhere. Couldn't use a public bathroom without it. That smell is forever ingrained in my memory (along with Porcelana & Jergens). She was a germ phobic yet lived in a hovel. I adored her, she taught me all about yard sales (still have my prized A&W root bear bear after all these years..I only paid 5 cents for it) and second hand stores. I was at her house nearly every day & I spent vast amounts of time living in some distant past among all the out of date items. She had phone books from 1966, plates from 1935 & clothes from 1952. She kept everything...from cereal boxes and a skeleton of a seahorse to samples of the first mini pads that didn't use a belt...she was well past 70 and had no need for them, but she said they made good coasters.
My aunt passed away when I was 13. I went to live in California for a few months. My mom cleared out the whole house while I was gone and I've never quite gotten over it.

Of fallen air raid sirens & sickness
I can't believe it's been three weeks since I last posted here. I apologize, this last three weeks have been like a trainwreck! Quick rundown: 1. Case of mistaken identity leading to twitter stalking/unacceptable behavior. 2. Crohn's disease rears it's ugly head again. I thought I had gotten the last flare up (over x-mas) under control with the icky prednisone & got on imuran. Apparently not, as I ended up in the hospital with it this time. Paralytic Ileus & partial obstruction. In the ER they gave me dilaudid...only too much, I think I almost quit breathing. I was gray and nodding off every 5 minutes. Kinda scary! Also got to experience the NG tube for the first time. OMG! I never want to see that thing agian! It didn't like me and at about 4 am it decided to kink up in the back of my throat and suffocate me. The poor nurse had to rip it out so fast & it made such a mess. Lame. So, I'm back on the steroids & just got done with a course of Flagyl & Amoxicilian. Doctor tomorrow. I really hope he doesn't want to schedule a scope or anything...
I have not managed to get any sort of work done these last three weeks, and it's driving me crazy. I am really hoping to get back into the swing of things this next week. Wish me luck.
While I've been laying around here trying not to sleep 23 of every 24 hours, I did look at some of my old pix I had saved onto disks. I found a few of the poor old air raid siren they dismantled in my town a few years ago. Oh, I say a few years ago, I really mean 10 years ago. eek. where does the time go? I put them up on my flickr account if anyone is interested. It always bothers me when these old things go away, and it's been happening alot lately. All I can do is remember to take pix & document for future reference.........

PS: I want to thank everyone who participated in the Kreativ Blogger Awards...it was really great to read about you ♥

What I've been working on......
I have been sorta busy this week, even if it doesn't seem like it. I am currently dosing down on prednisone after my annual holiday Crohn's flare...getting ready to try 6-mp soon. The prednisone and current retrograde planets make me feel very unenergetic but I have forced myself to do some things.
So far this week:
I have cleaned out and organized my workspace (I'm too embarassed to post the before photos, but maybe I will do the afters).
I have made a list of all the things I need for building my photo light box and researched where to get the lights and materials. I will have it done this weekend :) I'm so excited about this!!
I have sorted out all the jewelry that needs repairs and stone replacements. I will begin repairing in the next few days.
I did list an early 1900s Arts & Crafts watch fob on Artfire. Its really very cool!
I also scanned and posted some new things to my flickr account tonight.
Now all I really want to do is eat candy and go vintage shopping............♥
