Do You Remember These Vintage Race Tracks?

We have been race fans for years and years and remember going to some of these race tracks as kids. Racing was so different back then and so much fun. It truly was a family sport for many people. That was where many spent every weekend during racing season and we all have some great memories from those days.

This vintage racing program book is just one of many that we have listed on eBay. There are great vintage photos all through the book and this is a great peace of racing history.

We also have many different vintage racing programs and other racing items listed in our eBay store Book Corner Cafe n More. Stop by today and check out our items which are on sale this week.

Rememeber These Vintage Christmas Tree Ornaments?

My favorite time of year is the Christmas season and decorating the tree tops my list of things to do. In fact in our house I decorate both a large live tree and an artificial one with vintage ornaments. The boxes show signs of use but every year these ornaments are taken out  and carefully hung on the tree. I love the look of these long handing ornaments and they contrast with all the typical round glass balls.

I have a set of these that were my grandmom's and they are always on my tree. I found these at an estate auction and was really tempted to keep them but decide to list them. I hope someone else can enjoy these vintage Christmas ornaments on their tree.

You can find all our vintage Christmas items on eBay and this week they are all on sale. So if you love vintage Christmas ornaments stop by the Book Corner Cafe n more store on eBay and check out our items.

Do You Ever Make Halloween Cookies?

It does seem funny to ask about Halloween in June and it being 84 degrees outside but October will be here before you know it. As a kid Halloween was a huge holiday at our house we always spent a long time planning and then making our costumes. I was very fornuate to have a great groups of neighborhood friends all about the same age so we would always go as a group and plan our costumes together. Of course there was the annual local parade to walk in and a house decorated with all kinds of scary creatures.

My mom would make us Halloween cookies along with lots of other goodies with scarey names. I found a set of Halloweeen Cookie Cutters and they are listed on eBay. This is a nice set of Hallmark Cookie Cutters with a Bat, Cat, Pumpkin, Witch etc. You can check out all the close up pictures in the listing.

We have quite a few vintage Holiday Items listed in our store during the year and sell both Halloween and Christmas Items all year long. Stop by today and check out our eBay Store Book Corner Cafe n More.

Are You An Indy Car Race Fan?

We have been race fans for years and love both Nascar and Indy Car racing. The vintage racing items from years ago are filled with history and unfortunely many of the paper items are not around any more. One of my favorite memories of growing up is watching the races on TV with my dad. Of course back then there were not many races on TV and if they were it was never the whole race. We still watched everything that was on and the Indy 500 was one of my dad's favorite's races.

We have a vintage 1967 Clymer Indianapolis 500 Yearbook listed on eBay and it is on sale this week. This yearbook is filled with information and photos and is a great piece of racing history. It is amazing to see the cars and how they have changed over the years especially safety wise. Many of these drivers are no long with us and so looking through this sure does bring back memories. This is a great book for any race fan's collection.

We have many other racing items listed in our eBay store Book Corner Cafe n More and this week we have a sale running. We do have a lot of items with free shipping so that also adds to your savings. Stop by today and check out all our vintage racing items.

Do You Remember Using A Rotary Dial Telephone?

It is amazing to me the difference between the telephones that I grew up with and cell phones today. We had a rotary dial corded phone that you could only go as far as the cord went from the wall when you were talking. Hard to believe isn't it? As a teenager we used to stretch the cord as far as it would go into the next room and close the door to get some privacy. Again hard to believe since today most everyone talks about just about anything just about anywhere in public.

This telephone was called a Trimline model and came out in various colors. These were the latest thing at the time since it replaced the standard black phones that everyone had. The red phone was a popular color at the time.

This one is up for bid on eBay this week and you can see all the pictures on the auction listing. I found this phone at an estate sale and it sure did bring back memories.

What memories does this phone bring back for you?
