My sister and her husband are avid collectors!
The vaseline glass is just ONE of their many extensive collections.
The uranium salts used in the glass is what gives it a yellow green look in the daylight -
and fluoresces bright green when shown under ultraviolet lights.
Mike constructed a display area that features it perfectly!
Antique/vintage toy trains is another of their favorite collectibles.
Just TWO of the MANY commemorative silk pillow cases from their collection.
You can see other pillow cases on the drying rack below the vintage toy cars lined up for display.
One of my favorites is this neon sign from the Flamingo Hotel.
Magic Fingers
Room Phones TV
Refrigerated Air
Mike has an extensive collection of all things Sinclair!
Their game room is a child's fantasy!
Actually, Louis Dean and I look and stare with wide eyes and open mouths every time we visit!
Bet we're not the ONLY ones, either!
Their latest addition is this typewriter desk.
Mike has a large collection of ephemera!
This desk is a perfect place to showcase them!
The entire desk folds in on itself!
It is amazing!
While I'm at it - I'll show you their 'new' old dresser!
Don't you just love it?
I wonder about the ladies who have looked into this mirror over the years.
THIS was their 'old' one which is now in Mother's bedroom and she is enjoying it!
My mother is such a 'Girly' Girl!
While we're in here I'll show you the rest of Mother's bedroom. She has the BEST room in the house!
Nita and Mike completely redid her bathroom just for HER!
You can see The Talley Playhouse and Mike's Vintage Toys!
My photographing skills - or lack thereof! - do NOT do their collections justice!
Then there's Nita's WATT Collection!
My sister's house seems to be our family's gathering place for holidays and get together times!
She is a natural at hosting large groups and does it without stressing.
I guess I'm getting a little homesick tonight.
I may not be going home this month at all - due to circumstances not in my control and having nothing whatsoever to do with the quadruplets or family.
I am going now to peruse the posts I highlighted myself.
It will be like a trip 'home!'
And everyone KNOWS how much I love HOME!!
PS. I'm not sure WHY but when I previewed this post the first part of it doesn't look the way it's supposed to.
Not sure WHAT I'm doing wrong!
