It’s been a few weeks since Mental Kudzu’s initial discovery of Bonanzle, the online sales site. Since that time, the site has flourished. More items, more sellers… more money-making opportunities. The site grows daily. The ephemera selling-purchasing inventory truly astounds even this seasoned old paper purchaser.
I’ve begun searching my desk and other ephemeric collecting recepticles within my abode. Just yesterday I came across a program for the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair. The book is in fantastic condition. The World’s Columbian Exposition was quite an affair. But the family connection comes from the second such event held in Chicago- this time in 1933- it was The Century of Progress International Exposition which Mom attended. We still have her souvenir spoon.
And to complete the circle of commonality in human experience- the NC State Fair was just swell this year. The grandballoons enjoyed every second of their experience and Nana is still worn slam out from the day. But gottalove the Volvo as the addition of such a fine vehicle to our garage means Nana drives more. So, what did we learn from this blog post?
Bonanzle is progressing nicely. The 1933 Chicago World’s Fair was called “A Century of Progress”. And hopefully, we will elect a more progressive leader to run this country. Barack Obama. Or as Mom calls him “Derek Obama”.
