I Had To Have It!

I've always said this "business" of antiques and stuff is never about the "need" it is always about the "want"! I love old, vintage advertising. And for years I've always wanted an old vintage "sanitary napkin" machine like they use to have in public restrooms. So, you can imagine my surprise when I went to work yesterday! Apparently this desire of mine to own a vintage sanitary napkin machine wasn't known by everyone. Brande and I were walking down the aisle talking about it yesterday and she commented, while laughing at the same time, that she never knew this! I already have a vintage perfume dispenser that use to hang in a public bathroom. You put your coins in and had four fragrances to choose from, then pushed the button!As Brande and I continued our conversation about my new found treasure and she reminded me of a story I told her years ago. My grandmother never understood the "adhesive" pads, she just remembered those old "belts"! I will never forget her asking me, "doesn't it hurt when you pull the pads off"? I just laughed hysterically and explained to her that you put the adhesive side of the pad on your underwear, not your hoo-hoo!!

Also, "thank you" for all the kind words and little prayers yesterday, they mean a lot to me! As of late yesterday afternoon, they had Arianna on an IV with meds and had said she has a really bad bacterial infection of some kind, but its not life threatening. That gave us some relief, but I'm still hoping to find out more good news this morning. I'll let you know, and again, thank you!
