    Oh, I absolutely love picking up old antlers and animal horns like that for the fact that I am Native American or should I say it indigenous person of Massachusetts, Wampanoag and Narragansett ad I like to carve on the antlers or make knife handles out of them and across a lot of the dairy antlers of boneI make sewing needles out of and you can make spoons out of it. Buffalo horns and cattle horns can be made into drinking glasses for dippers or even powder horns.❤❤❤❤❤❤

    03:36 Timeout doll if memory serves. They were a "thing" in the 90s. 11:14 I've always said "buy toys from the tool dealer and tools from the jewelry guy" - they're reputable dealers but want those odd items out of their stalls and may have them priced accordingly. A friend in the UK has gotten some major bargains from "fine" antique jewelry dealers who know diddly about costume and unmarked sterling.

Flash forward twenty years and I'm at a thrift store when what do I see? A solitary Wiseman. I flip him over and there's my mother's initials and the year. Fifty cents. Heck, yeah, I bought him! Have him to Mom. We had fun speculating how he got two hundred miles from home and where his two pals got to.

    9:25 Hey, Alex. In the centre of that shot, on the middle shelf, one can see six white mugs with a floral band pattern around the top which are Pyrex mugs, I think. I bought a set of four Pyrex mugs like that for only $3.99 from a local Value Village and they appeared to be in new, unused condition.
    They probably aren't particularly valuable, but I have fond nostalgic memories of drinking tea with my family using Pyrex mugs like those that were provided in a cottage we rented every summer for a week on Manitoulin Island (Mountain View Resort). :)

    • @rosemarymee
      @rosemarymee 4 месяца назад

      You should reply -That is NOT an “a” sound, it’s a “schwa”.
      “The term "schwa" (from the Hebrew; pronounced SHWA with alternate spelling "shwa") was first used in linguistics by the 19th-century German philologist Jacob Grimm. The schwa is the most common vowel sound in English, represented as ə in the International Phonetic Alphabet. Any vowel letter can stand for the schwa sound. Only words with two or more syllables may have a schwa, which is also called the "mid-central vowel." The schwa represents a mid-central vowel in an unstressed syllable, such as the second syllable in the word "woman" and the second syllable in the word "buses."
      Or the e in Porsche…😊
