100 years ago, before memes, reels, tweets, threads, and hashtags, photos told the stories.

This 1926 image captures women’s basketball during the Roaring Twenties, complete with heavy period uniforms and thick knee-high socks.

The Knicks may have had the pressure last night, but these girls had to play basketball in wool. 🏀🧶

A legal parking spot. No meter. Fresh flowers. A beautiful Brooklyn afternoon.

Made it to my mani-pedi and found a legal street parking spot — no meter!

That alone felt like a win.

But as I walked to my appointment a few blocks over, I remembered how beautiful Brooklyn is. Yes, it’s expensive, crowded, and everything is smooshed together . . . but if you look around, you can see roses spilling over fences, hydrangeas putting on a show, little pockets of color tucked between houses, and a produce stand that looks and smells like summer.

Brooklyn is blooming, and it is beautiful.

What’s blooming in your neighborhood right now?

Two weeks in a row? I’ll take it!

Apparently Facebook and Instagram think I am being consistent. I even made a engagement leaderboard this week, which is surprising considering most days I have been juggling vintage photos, flea market finds, piles of stuff I’m trying to clean up, and the usual chaos that follows me around, plus this sinus thing I STILL have.

The weekly challenges are actually pretty fun, as long as I don’t turn them into something to stress about (Thanks ADHD). New followers, new posts/reels, and new comments — I can do this! Plus, while Bialy is being uncharacteristically shy, Bagel approves!

Today, however, is not a typical one for me — I am getting a mani and pedi. 100 years ago I had a field job generating leads, I needed to look polished (Get it? Polished. Nails. I crack myself up.). I don’t go nearly as often now, but my nails have reached the point where typing is almost impossible. Almost as impossible as it will be finding parking 🤪

Wish me luck!

I went down the rabbit hole to figure out the story behind these five photos.

The street names, along with the Hotel St. George, placed them in Brooklyn Heights. The banner across Orange Street led me to a New York Times article published on July 3, 1938.

These photos capture Christian Endeavor delegates marching through Brooklyn Heights on their way to historic Plymouth Church, where more than 1,000 attendees gathered for their convention.

The photos give the history some breathing room, turning a newspaper mention into faces, streets, and movement.

I’m feeling like with a sinus thing and a sore throat, but the vintage sparkler (empty) boxes I picked up yesterday helped brighten my day.

The artwork is fantastic, and the way the sun hit it, the extra glow has perfect placement. As a July baby turning the speed limit 2 days before the United States celebrates our 250th anniversary, finding a stack of these was extra special.

I have multiples available. Message me if you want one or more before they make their way to Etsy.

I left the house at 6:30 AM and reached flea market #1 at 7:10. 3 quick stops and I jumped back into my car and drove 39 minutes to flea market # 2. I dug until around 1:15 and then drove to an estate sale followed by a a stop at a thrift store only open on Sundays. There was (as usual) a ton of traffic on the way home and I walked into the house around 7 PM. 12 or so hours and 106 miles round trip.

My favorite find? This piggy and her piglets I picked up for my friend and birthday sister on IG. Between gas and getting older I don’t go out as often as I used to but when I do, I want a lot of bang for my buck.

What was your favorite find this weekend?

Garage sales are not really a Brooklyn thing.

Most of them are what I call perpetual yard sales . . . the same people, every week, bringing out the same stuff.

Today started with a church rummage sale where I picked up a few things, including a new fan for the house. Then I stopped at a community yard sale set up in the garden area outside an apartment building.

The best find of the day wasn’t vintage.

It was a slice of fresh homemade zucchini bread from a woman selling baked goods.

As I headed back to the car, I walked past the beautiful Marine Park Salt Marsh and snapped this photo.

Sometimes the best score isn’t the thing you bring home . . . it’s the yum.

Stella D’oro cookies were on sale this week and I put two packages of the Swiss Fudge cookies on the shopping list for my (wonderful) husband to pick up. I haven’t had them in over 40 years, and I did not stop to think about why I suddenly wanted them. My brain did not acknowledge it, but my heart knew.

When I was growing up, if we needed to bring something to synagogue to share, my mother always picked up Stella D’oro because they are parve, which means they can be eaten with either milk or meat. We didn’t (and I still don’t) keep a kosher home, but she taught me that you always bring something everyone can eat without having to question it.

My husband did the shopping yesterday, and when he came home last night, I saw the cookies and broke down in tears.

Yesterday marked 31 years since my mother passed away.

My childhood was filled with trauma, and those memories still have a way of rising to the surface and overwhelming me. The emotions are part of why I struggle with focusing on listing and posting, especially when combined with my ADHD.

It has, however, helped me understand why I am drawn to and . They show moments from other people’s lives, and for a little while, I can focus on their memories instead of my own.

When you’re out on the hunt, have you ever seen something that stopped you in your tracks because it resonated with you?

Yesterday’s pickup was pure chaos! One of my favorite finds was a drawer full of VHS tapes. Most people would probably see a pile of old tapes ready for recycling. I see time capsules.

Recorded right off television decades ago, there are a buttload of movies, a Super Bowl, a People’s Court episode, and who knows what else. My goal is to go through them and rescue the commercials, station IDs, local promos, etc., because often the ads are more interesting than the show itself.

Back in 1984 my uncle taped the movie Nadia for me off WPIX out of NYC. I have read that Nadia Comaneci didn’t even want to see it, but I LOVED it and still do. PLUS it had great commercials — anyone remember the one for Nestlé BonBons ice cream? “Your highness? Not tonight.” How about “Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?” Those were both on that VHS and I wish I still had it.

What’s the one commercial from your childhood that you wish you could see again?
