Snow!

Hi there Folks,
We have had a few days of freezing cold temperatures here in Historic Richmond, VA, and there's snow all around, so I thought I would search OLA for all things SNOW...Here are a few things I came up with on my OLA winter weather search.  I hope you will find them interesting:

From my shop, I have a few Little Golden Books for sale with a winter--snow theme.  First up, is a 1977 version of Frosty the Snow Man for $1.49;

And I am offering a more recent 1989 version of Frosty the Snow Man for $1.99;

Here is an older 1971 version for $1.99

Here is something interesting from Marebob 1:  A lot of matchbook covers, including one for Jordan's SNOWBALL King!  The lot has an opening bid of $3.

Here's something sweet that came up in my search for snow-related items for sale on OLA:  A pendant necklace made from a Scrabble letter tile featuring a Sheepdog in the SNOW.  So cute and different from FleaPirates.  It can be yours for only $5.25.

Do you ski?  A fine winter sport!  Here is a ski suit offered by a new OLA seller, mylovelydolls.  At $19.99, this is a steal!

From JRFLEAMARKET, at $1.50, sheet music for Let it Snow!  If it looks like this out your window, perhaps you may want to stay in and play music.

Don't forget BARBIE.  Here is a real collectible offered by MajikMerlin.  This Snow Sensation Barbie is in her original box, and it can be yours for $50.

Another Cool Collectible found on OLA is this Canadian $5 bill that features a fun SNOW scene.  Offered by mrfindit, the opening bid for this bill is $9.99.

From raevenhow, here is what looks to me like an antique mustache cup with a SNOW scene.  The scene is titled Winter in the Country, and the price of $4.01 is totally RIGHT!

Here is a neat SNOWFLAKE Wrist Watch offered by seller 4llls, for $10.99.

From DraggonTagger, an Avon SNOWFLAKES silver bracelet for $8.  

The SNOW themed items that I listed above are just "flakes" in the Huge Drift of Snowy items showcased on OLA.  Do your own search, and see.  There's lots of cool things to be found on OLA  the best online auction site in the world.

Until next time, Happy Shopping!

The Influence of Native Americans

The Thanksgiving holiday began as a day celebrated long ago between the Pilgrims and the Native Americans who taught them so much about how to survive in this new land. This was a feast of thanks that they shared, giving thanks to God for the small harvest that they gathered.

The Native Americans continued to influence the way we lived even though our cultures clashed at times.

I began looking for some of the items that that we carry on OLA.com and are under the category “Native American”. I was surprised at what I found.

From Classic Chloe, I found a beautiful Handcrafted Leather Native American Doll. And she has listed many more besides this one! Her daughter had quite the collection!

From Sparky’s Collectible Cards, Magnets & Assorted Surprises, I found a wonderful little magnet, handcrafted-Indian with Winged Spirits of the Sky. Sparky has many more of these beautiful magnets! These would make wonderful stocking stuffers!!

From 4llll’s I found a gorgeous Turquoise and Sterling Bird in Flight Necklace. I must say, this is a beauty!

From Clark’s Antiques, I found a wonderful Old Wood Bark Canoe & Drum! Superb for the collector!

From Sharon2011, a brand new store from another site, I found I could purchase Handcrafted Custom Fit Moccasins made to order! These look very nice!

And from Maggie’s Farm I found the most beautiful Mata Ortiz Geometric Vase-signed and in mint condition! This, you need to take a closer look!!

Of course, whether these items were actually made by Native Americans, I do not know. But the traditions, patterns, and designs keep coming back, recreated because the Native Americans did such beautiful work. They greatly influenced our art and our way of life.

Come on over to OLA.com and see if there isn’t something that might interest you!

The holiday season is fast approaching and our sellers would be pleased to have you browse through their stores! They are a friendly lot and will go out of their way to make your purchase a happy one! And if you have time, we’d be honored to have you stop in our store, Korn Kountry Treasures! Thank you!
