Well today I have been mostly blown about by the wind! Many apologies for such a small post today but the wind decided to have fun in my garden, luckily I have managed to secure most things :) however the postman also only brought me two treasure today, now two treasure is better than no treasure so both pieces are loved and have joined the stacklet, first I received this;
dated 1939 George VI two shilling piece, from what I have tried to find out it is 0.500 fineness has a ridged edge and was issued until 1946 It's also known as a florin and I imagine there are many of these hanging around I love the history of them so let's look at 1939
well it has to be said that was the year that saw world war two start
It's not my place to speak of that, there has been many volumes written about this subject and all are better than anything I could say so all I shall say is my full respect to all those who suffered during or because of that time.
we also saw 'The Wizard of Oz' released
This is one of my all time favourite films, I love it, watched it every chance I could get then bought the film for my children and brought them up on it along with many other films and books. Now they are older and able to argue with me they will only let me watch it at christmas :)
it was the year Monty Python John Cleese was born
It has to be said Monty Python is a huge favourite of mine and for me the best has to be ;
Billie Holiday held the music world with 'Strange Fruit'
Also in my newly added treasure was a teeny tiny shiny! I bought this knowing it was tiny but it had a fabulous design it was the ace of hearts, now anyone who knows me knows one of my addictions is anything with hearts on it or as part of the design, doesn't matter what it is , could be a toilet seat cover and I would still buy it if it had a heart on it :) so I just had to buy this;
it's one gram of pure silver, and I love it, it will be a new subsection of my treasure, tinyshiny :) so my treasure has three sections supershiny,vintage, and tinyshiny :)
