]]> Today, on the eve of the instrument becoming fifty years old and celebrating another 4th of July, I offer a fine, “Buck Owens American Guitar“. It looks great and plays great. It is all original except the strings and a replaced pick guard. A solid spruce top and quality American craftsmanship made it a great sounding instrument. It’s like has appeared on stage with Nirvana and Ryan Adams plays one of three he owns on tour.

This guitar is stage ready. It has a new hard shell case (says Washburn on the front), new light weight strings in place, and is ready to ship in time for the upcoming holiday. The time and price are right, so act quickly.

UPDATE: This was SOLD by BluesBoyRoy on Etsy on July 27th, 2019.

]]> In 1961, former Broadway stage actor and producer, Walter Starcke moved to Key West and was involved in real estate development. Just as his newly renovated buildings by Key West Harbor were ready for business, he ran into two old friends from his Broadway days, choreographer Jim Russell and stage manager, Peter Pell, who happened to have the perfect enterprise, a screen print fabric shop ~ Key West Hand Print Fabrics Inc.

Suzie Zuzek DePoo was Key West Hand Print Fabrics’ leading artist and it was where her colorful tropical designs caught the eye of Palm Beach socialite, Lilly Pulitzer, who commissioned Zuzek’s art and Key West Hand Print Fabrics for most of her classic signature resort wear in the 1960s and 70s.

NEWS FLASH!!! – I will soon be listing some pretty amazing fabrics in my Etsy shop, Fabric Madness. All are designed by Zuzek and Pell and a few others – all were made in the 1960s and 1970s at Key West Hand Print Fabrics, Inc. All are clean, crisp, vibrant and brand new old stock stored away for all these years. Sounds exciting to me! Stay tuned…

]]> Texting “EE-AH-KEY” back and forth for a few days now with my best friend   instead of the usual “Hey! Got a minute?” type of message.  Cracks me up every time.  Where have we heard that before?

EE AH KEY

Well, EE-AH-KEY was used as a locating shout between Jeff and his pal Porky on the 1954 TV series “Lassie”.

]]> I found another one! Here is a really nice Taltos Fortune Telling Teacup and Saucer with the instruction booklet. “Made in Staffordshire England ~ Royal Kendal ~ Fine Bone China” is stamped on the bottom of both the cup and saucer.

Taltos Fortune Telling Teacup and Saucer and Instruction Book

Written around the outside of the cup are the words; “Perchance this cup will show it thee. Would’st thy fortune like to see?”.  In the center of the cup is a sailing ship surrounded by fortune-telling symbols. Saucer is decorated with the signs of the zodiac, a shamrock is in the center. Both the saucer and the cup are in lovely condition. No chips cracks or repairs. Like new.

Cup measures 3″ wide and 2 5/8″ tall.
Saucer measures 5 1/2″ wide and 1″ tall.

Included is a copy of The Taltos Fortune Telling Teacup book with 21 pages of useful information to be able to interpret the different signs and symbols while reading the tea leaves.

SOLD September 26, 2018 in my Etsy Shop at https://www.etsy.com/shop/MyVintageMadness.

Jon Anton Fortune Tellers Tea Cup and Saucer

True story: In 1976, my husband went with a friend to a tea leaf reader who offered to tell him his fortune as well. She told him to take a long walk and he would soon meet his Queen of Hearts. Now, if he had walked out her front door and turned left, he would have walked right past my house. We met a few months later, in the Allaire State Park where I worked at the General Store in the Village, while on one of his long walks. It was love at first sight and we’ve been happily married for 41 years.
