Day 21 of 30 days of photographs (Broken)


No one got their wish from this wishbone - both sides snapped simultaneously.  


Posting this image of vintage Mannequin doll marked Latecture/ NYC, I believe she was used to help children learn to sew and dates to the 40's. No stand and no arms, see pictures. She measures 19" and has: a chip on her side, several surface cracks, overall wear from age. Beautiful face!

 She is apparently broken, currently bidding on shopgoodwill.com for $5.00.

To see more broken and busted images zivainferno.



Skipping along to other things ~ I blew the budget at Interfaith's Great Finds in Sutter Creek, California.


Muffy Vanderbear "Down on the Farm" was $5 and the Maxwell House Coffee tin was $15.

    If both sides snap simultaneously I think everyone should get their wish. But, that's just me.

    Never in a million years would I have thought of a wishbone. You are a clever lass!

    I had friend that I thrift shop/antique store shop with many years ago. I remember her turning away from some items..."You don't want that Barbara," she would say, "It is not broken!" I was always attracted to those things that we ready for the rubbish!

    Be well. Love the blog.

    Clever idea. And you just reminded me that I have two unbroken wishbones sitting in my kitchen garden window. Maybe I should send them to Ziva so she can make a wish.

    Wishbone!!! Last year we forgot to break ours and left it sitting there so long it turned into dust. Pretty gross.
