Story From a Minnesota State Trooper



Remember the old rock 'n roll song 'Go Granny go Granny go'? 
Now this little pistols (no pun intended)  eyes are just flashing with determination and fire....ya gotta notice those pearl button earrings.  Why, I'll betcha if she's wearing Depends they're thongs!  I personally would not have a concealed carry permit for anything....that's why we live in a town of 400.  Everybody knows I wield a 'mean' broom!

I'm getting off track a little bit but it seems like every senior citizen I know always has on the same pearl button earrings...cept for me...I still like the 'wild' ones.  I'm wondering where we go to get those pearl button earrings and at what age should we start wearing them?   Does anybody out there know?

OK, back to the story....read this and study the white haired little lady...then think how the heck did that Trooper keep his composure?

Are You in de Nial?



I have been in many places, but I've never been in Cahoots. Apparently,
you can't go alone. You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I've also never been in Cognito. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane. They don't have an airport; you have
to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends,
family and work.

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I'm not too
much on physical activity anymore. I don't jump.

I have also been in Doubt. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit
there too often. I certainly don't want to be a Thomas:)

I've been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes I'm in Capable, and I go there more often as I'm getting older. You know, like shoveling snow, etc.

One of my favorite places to be is in Suspense! It really gets the adrenalin
flowing and pumps up the old heart! At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

I may have been in Continent, and I don't remember what country I was in.
It's an age thing and sometimes involves Depends.

I would say today might be one of the National Mental Health Days so if you know one unstable person, copy and paste this and email it to them.

No petty drama.....be happy in your head.    Everyone is doing pretty good in mine.

Today I had a little lady that googled collectible advertising El Rancho Ashtrays.... found mine and came right over to Supergrannys Treasures and bought all 5 of them. Now that makes for happiness in my cerebral region. A new buyer to Online Auction.   Sure glad I learned from some wonderful peeps how to do good SEO.

Here's the deal.....I decided to pick 1 item from 3 sellers ..... one that starts with P for Patch.... AKelly110

















Here's one that starts with Q for Small Q-Ship by Amarillo Design Bureau
RJSales



The final pick is for R...Railroad Assorted Lot of Unused Lead RR Pencils clarksantiques











Why did I pick P, Q, R?  I don't know....I just felt compelled to do something different:)  Hope everyone in your brain stays happy!

Sarah Coventry Jewelry History

Most galls over 50 in America have at least one piece of Sarah Coventry Jewelry. I had several friends that sold the jewelry so at one time I had 2 boxes overflowing with Sarah. None of it ever tarnished or broke so for costume jewelry it was high quality.

                                                       

Sarah Coventry jewelry received its name from Charles H. Stuart, the founder of Emmons Home Fashion. Sarah was named after his grand daughter where as Emmons was named after his wife, Caroline Emmons. The mark for "Emmons" was first used in 1948 and Emmons was incorporated in February of 1949, with Sarah Coventry coming into being, November of the same year. They started their business under home fashion shows and maintained the way they did business till 1984, and were sold to a Chicago based firm who produced jewelry for a Canadian company using the same name. Sarah Coventry continued making fine jewelry with precious gemstones under P B Manufactures. The home shows were discontinued in 1984.
*****
The first known marks were "Coventry" used in 1949, for both men's and ladies jewelry. The next known mark was "Sarah Coventry" and in 1950 the mark of "SC" was first used. Then sometime around 1951 the mark of just "Sarah" was used and they continued to incorporate the mark into later jewelry.
The Mark "SC" was still in use in 1953 for costume jewelry, and in 1960 the mark of "Sarah Cov" came into existence.
*****
The mark of "SAC" has been attributed to Sarah Coventry jewelry but there are no records indicating when it was used but the mark existed in the mid 1950s and was used to the 1960s.
*****
Emmons and Sarah Coventry jewelry did not design or manufacture their own jewelry but purchased their designs that were manufactured by other producers of costume jewelry around the Providence, R.I. area.
