Blogging again finally

I tried this blog earlier and had such a hard time with it but I am going to try it again anyway. We recently went to Ohio to help my husbands sister get his mom's house cleaned out and ready to rent. I had no idea she collected so much STUFF. I am helping his sister by listing some here on OLA. I will attempt to show some of the items in this blog. I do not know about all of them but I will put in the listing all I know and will also let you know if I do not know much about the items.


AN ASSORTMENT OF UN-USED POST CARDS

PICTURE OF AN OLD STOVE SOMEONE WAS PROUD OF

BEAUTIFUL HAND COLORED SCENES FROM GLACIER NATIONAL PARK BOOK

PAIR OF AMBASSADOR SCOTCH SHOT GLASSES

REPLICA OS APOLLO X1 MOON PLAQUE (ORIGINAL PACKAGE)

OLD TIME UNCLE SAM BANK COLLECTOR ITEM (WORKS GREAT)

TRAIN BANK NEW (IN ORIGINAL BOX)

TWO CANADIAN SHOT GLASSES

There is so much more to get listed and I may blog this again. I do not want to have too much in one blog and if you would like to see more you can visit my store on OLA by going to the following link where you can see her items and also my items. I would be so happy to see you  at chateycathey and hopefully you can find something of interest to you. Any questions you can omail me and I will be happy to answer them as best I can.

Thank you for taking time to read my blog and learn about some of the items I have listed. Please leave a comment, good or bad as they all mean something to me.

BE SAFE, BE HEALTHY AND BE HAPPY

We recently went to Ohio to help my husbands sister clear out his Mothers house and get it ready to rent. I never knew she collected so much stuff.  I am trying to help her sell some of it by listing it on OLA http://ola.com. There is some that will be simple and some that will not be so simple. I will give all the information I can about all the items but I must admit there is some I know nothing about. So here it goes:

THIS IS JUST A PICTURE AND NOT A REAL STOVE FOR SALE.

THREE DIFFERENT SHOT GLASSES

HAND COLORED SCENES IN GLACIER NATIONAL PARK

AMBASSADOR SCOTCH SHOT GLASSES

REPLICA OF APOLLO MOON PLAQUE

COLLECTORS BANK

ASSORTMENT OF NINE STEEL SKELETON KEYS

UNCLE SAM COLLECTORS BANK (WORKS GREAT)

LARGE ASSORTMENT OF UN-USED POST CARDS

I could list so many more and I may do another blog with some more. I do not want to list them all in a blog as I do not want to overwhelm the blog with listings. 

If any of these are of interest to you or if you want to see more like these I would be happy if you visit my OLA house at http://ola.com/store/chateycathey where you will find more listings like this and also a lot of my own items listed there. 

Thank you for reading my blog and please leave a comment. Good or bad they all count to me. 

Be safe, be healthy and be happy 

May Seller of the Month!!!

I would like to introduce you to Callmemomo!! She is the OLA.com seller of the month for May!!

Here is her story:

"I began selling online in 1999, but just as a little hobby on another site. I didn't really begin in earnest until I discovered OLA in 2008.

I started selling because I had started buying at the other site and thought it might be fun. Also, I had come across a product everyone was looking for and no one seemed to have but me. Remember the Pokedex? Probably not, but, it was "hot" and I managed to get some when EVERYONE was looking for them. That was fun!!! It became a fun thing for me to do in my "spare" time.

I'm not sure what the most interesting thing I've bought is because half my house is from OLA!! But the most "intriguing" thing I've sold was and old brass incense burner, I think. I go to estate sales, yard sales, charity sales, etc. and had picked it up for $1.00 and it went a little crazy here on OLA and sold for something like $35.00. Who knew? The most fun I've had was doing the Rummage Sale in 2008. I wouldn't mind doing one of those again. That was fun!!

OLA is definitely my biggest, most time-consuming hobby, but I also crochet, sew, watch movie marathons with hubby, research on the internet random stuff that pops into my head and do whatever spontaneous things hubby or my son suggests we do for that day.

Creating an OLA house … the biggest things are making it attractive but not overbearing and making sure your categories are there. It's important if someone is looking for that "special" item, not to make them go through pages and pages of items to get there. They won't do it. I have tons of listings, but I also have all the categories for them. It's a very useful aid. I would suggest for your listings to take a picture like there is no description and describe like there is no picture. And PROMOTE yourselves! It's your business and that's part of the "job", but it's also part of the fun!! And fun is as important as anything else."

Now, not only would I like to congratulate Momo but also tell you about what I got in the mail the other day!! An awesome bag, crafted by Momo!! A one of a kind item and it is absolutely wonderful!! I just love it!! (It's actually a gift or I'd show it to you!!)

She has some other fabulous bags and purses, though!!

So, you see she has more!! Just pop over to her store and check out all that she has!! I just got the alcohol stove and bag . . . . may have to pop in for more!!!

College Textbooks

Okay, you sign your kid up for college and the costs start rolling in!! It is SOOOOOOO expensive to get your child through college now days!! I remember those days well and I only had ONE go to college!! But cost?? Oh, yeah!!

The thing that got me was the cost of BOOKS!! Good grief, you could eat for a month on what they charge!!

Now after checking around, I find that the very same books are still being published under a "newer" edition, of course!! I believe it is pretty much the same textbook (they didn't rewrite it AGAIN, now, did they??) with a newer cover and perhaps an appendix included!! So, save some money and buy the older versions if you can get away with it!!

We have a bunch of them listed, all reasonably priced, study guides, too!! Check out our store and see what else we have!!

Just check it out at Korn Kountry Treasures!! And check out the other sellers on OLA.com, too!!

Spring Cleaning Time

Vintage Mixing Bowls

Well, had a few minutes to spare this afternoon and thought I'd talk about vintage mixing bowls. There are all kinds of mixing bowls out there. Some glass, some pottery, some plastic. I have come to realize that the older ones are the nicer ones. Because, they were made in the USA!!! Vintage though they may be, these are great pieces to use in your kitchen!!! So take a peek at some of the variety we have!!

Above is a set of Friendship Pottery Mixing Bowls Roseville OH in VERY GOOD condition!! These are so awesome, I wanted to keep them for myself!! But, alas, I have no room!! You can find this in our store, KornKountryTreasures!   

Next, you will see an awesome set of Vintage Pyrex Gooseberry Mixing/Casserole Bowls. These can be found at Gram-Recyle-Bin!! These are not just great for mixing but for casseroles and baking, too!! Great pieces and the whole set!!

RoundPrairie2 has a couple of things for you to see!! First, is this Pyrex Homestead Bowl Set. They need a little TLC but awesome!! Then they also have this awesome Blue Band Batter Bowl by Homer Laughlin??

Next, PiasRotty has this wonderful, old

Red Wing Stoneware Co. Brown Shoulder Bowl Milk Pan - prior to 1906

And if that isn't enough, they also have this

Vintage Ceramic Mixing Bowl - OVEN WARE MADE IN U.S.A. 9.

How cool are these???

AngelOnTheWind has this Nice Set of Heavy Blue Mixing Bowls.

Such an awesome blue!!! Wow!!!!

And, last but not least, we (KornKountryTreasures) also have the Marcrest Dot & Daisy Large Mixing Bowl and in a separate listing, the Marcrest Dot & Daisy Medium Mixing Bowl!!

So, if you're looking for mixing bowls, check us out! These pieces are getting harder to find so they are well worth the money!! Why buy something imported when you can find good old USA made stuff that is better quality even if they are a few years old??

So, check us out!! Buy vintage!! Come on over to OLA.com!! You'll be glad that you did!!

Thank you for stopping in and please comment!! We appreciate your time!!
