The good old days
King Edward V11 keychain
Have you ever heard your parents or grandparents say “those were the good ole days”? I often heard my parents say it. So I want to share with you something about a relative of mine. She had to iron an outfit for her daughter for an important occasion, and didn’t her iron break down? So she phoned her husband all upset because her daughter needed her dress ironed for that very night. So her husband said to her, don’t worry I have an idea, I will iron it when I get home. She said to him, how are you going to do that? he said ,you know the three antique irons we have? Well there is one that is not rusty, I will use that, heat it on the stove and put a damp cloth over the dress and iron it. A little later she phoned him and said,”it is done, I ironed the dress the way you explained it BUT my arm is so sore, how did our ancestors every put up with the pain seeing as they had three irons, two heating on the stove while using the third one. And she continued to say “If my washer breaks down , don’t think for one minute that I will use my old scrub board.” So maybe those good old days were not so good after all, what do you think? I love antiques and the stories that goes along with them. I once bought an old floor model radio with tubes in the back, I paid five dollars for it, good buy huh? Gave it away to my relatives. Now the keychain above is a great souvenir to keep, it was from a 1910 big penny and that was the same year that King Edward died. I also have other items in my gallery with his image on it, you can check it out at http://www.zazzle.com/allicor* and you can also check out the rest of my gallery ,be sure to have lots of time, and bring your favorite beverage and enjoy.
Have a great day
