Hey everyone, it's Selena here at a more bad rigs. Welcome back. It's been some time since I've been, I think gone quite some time. I think the whole month of October, I kind of gave you guys all a break. If you're new here, hi, hello, and welcome. This is a Crafty channel. Usually I collect a bunch of vintage items that you can use for your crafty projects, collections, those kind of things. And I put them on my Etsy shop and I share them with you. I often have daily deals and things like that. So don't forget to thumbs up, make subscribe. And if you do, hit the notification bell so that you can see any notifications that pop up. Yes, so the month of October, I have been pretty much disappeared. I had this month of my birthday. So I had family coming in town. My parents surprised me by showing up out of town, my best friend flew in. So it was this one thing after another. But those who followed me on Facebook, I should do random posts and things like that about what's going on and inspirational things and things like that. And then one of the posts was what I'm showing you today. Some kind of delay. It's been weeks kind of thing. And that I was going to offer this to you guys. But I do have a wait list for what you guys see here today. And you guys are the first to be messaged prior to this video. So this, obviously, if you're on a list and I did message you and you're seeing this now is probably because you didn't read your message. I, like I said, anyone who's on the waiting list, I message you and I hold the item for you and all that. So what you see here are just amazing, amazing letters that I got in a state cell. They're from the 19, 1920s, early 1930s. Each and every one of these envelopes that you see have letters in them. I went to the state cell on Sally, the family member had passed away. But this man, his name is Herschel and his wife is Fanny. So in all these letters, the reason why I took me some time to get to you guys about these as well, I wanted to read the history. I wanted to go through these letters, kind of understand who's who and what are these letters and why did they pick so much time wrapping and storing of these letters. I mean, I bundles of these letters. I mean, all over here. And a lot of these letters have two or three, like here, giving example, pages. Some are just single pages like this. Some are, you'll see. I'm going to open up a few. All in all, Herschel is the man who is keeping all these letters and they are letters to his friends, their letters to his schoolmates, his speed hearts, there's some letters in here and his speed hearts. And all in all, he meets this lady named Fanny and he hooks up with her. There's some dating letters throughout here. I don't know which bundle was the dating. And then they got married. So quite some history in all these letters. So what I did is I bundled them five per package and they're already in the Etsy shop where you can buy five of them and down below is the drag link to that. So if you want to click on there and run over and grab your five letter bundle and have a surprise by reading these letters, it's just quite amazing. And the listing that I also have made, I put the description of what the letters are from and who. I did separate the categories because most of the letters are like I just told you. But in this bundle right here, Herschel went to college, Ohio State University. So most of these are Indiana, Ohio addresses on these letters. Once in a while I have a random state I imagine is from friends. But they are all, like I said, all, like these are the school ones. I'm going to go over here in a minute. And they are all stamped with the cool stamps here and every one of them. And it's so cool about them. This one's removing their stamp. Is there all the different colors like there's the purple, there's the red and all that. Anyways, so this whole pile is all his school report cards and records letters from all his schools information. So I was going to have a total different listing just for that school records and information. Look at this cool report card. So he went to Ohio State University and that is his, he looks like he was pretty smart. And obviously a sweetheart because he kept all his letters. It was quite amazing. And so go over there and check that out. But before you leave, why don't you stick around to see a little bit longer. Here is a book I found and missed these letters. And this book had to have been his mother's. As I read through it, it was really cool. You guys do a lot of you who follow me are junk journals. And this is one letter from his mom. I'm thinking I look at the inkwell script. A lot of these have inkwell as well and some of these letters. I wish I'd open a few here in a minute. But this was quite amazing. You know, I know you guys do glue books and scrapbooks and junk journals kind of thing. But this is a vintage book that his mother had. And it was about the Department of Agriculture in 1918. And she just took a book and she can see here the beginning of the book. She never finished. This is where I think it just about ends. This book about agriculture. I can't see where my tongue tied right there. She can see she has some clippings. But the whole beginning half, she had did like a glue book scrapbook. And in it, she had put a bunch of like flowers. I know it looks like you can use a lot of love and art. It's put on a shelf as a collector. There we are. So she kind of glued important things to here. Five little pigs. I don't know what that said. I didn't really read it. It was like her school days. And she had put different articles and information. Look at 1926. Of different things. There's different, look at here. See exactly what you guys are doing. This is our school. So this is like a little school book journal she did. And look, see, even in the 20s. Here you go again. Here I think in things are all new ideas. Here we go. Isn't this a cool book? I'm going to go ahead and list this in the shop. I have no clue what I'm going to list it for. But I thought what a gift and a treasure to add. But anyways, it's full of all kinds of different articles. Just so unique, such a schoolgirl's kind of thing. What was just important to her. Here we go. What is this? How old age? She glued this on there. Sunday school convention. Does that say I'm reading upside down convention? This is June of 1928. And this here looks like she glued on here. Oh, this looks like the brochure. Look at that brochure. It's a play. So it's a play. It's a play printout. It must have been some kind of play. And here is the pages of the play. How adorable is that, right? Yeah, isn't it just absolutely beautiful? Sorry, I had a pause. So I just thought it was a really cool book. If you want to message me, if you don't see in the shop, just message me. Maybe I didn't have time to put in the shop kind of thing. But I just thought it was a really cool book. And he was Herschel's mother's. And I thought it was just adorable. Again, like I said, I have piles and piles of letters. So it's just, I wanted to get through them all. But I went so far. This I could. And I had to stop kind of thing. It was just getting to me. Like this one here is YMCA, a Fort Wayne, Indiana. Okay, look how age that went. Mrs. 1931. So cool the papers. Look at this header. It says here Miss Miller's tea room. Look at the header of that paper. I guarantee when you get a pack, you won't be disappointed because it seems like the paper, it's like the paper of different of everywhere. Whatever they had at the time, you know, it was just, this is a three page letter. It was just so much fun going through. And this is from Fanny. This is this wife Fanny. I don't know if this is when they're dating. I don't know what year this is 31. Anyways, the header, I'll click here. I'll see you guys can see that. She puts a little like arrow to her head. It says me. And that must be, you know, girlfriends or something. She has the date up here at the corner. But it's just, it was so much fun. My mom and dad, they found this at a state. So I can't claim to, and look at the header, YMCA. Maybe she worked at the YMCA. I am not sure. But there's so much information and history here. But it's fun just to get a random five or more. Like I said, there's a lot of people on the list that have gone some and grab them while you can because I know these are gonna fly right off the shelf. All right, guys, glad you guys took the time to watch this and go through this with me. It was just so much fun. And I'm glad I'm able to share that with you guys. So enjoy these beautiful vintage. Looks like most of 1930s letters. And like I said, every envelope has a beautiful letter. These two, three, four pages, some are more. And some juicy stuff in there too. I remember reading one where his fannie was talking about how she was with some girlfriends and how they were having a boy. Well, just a good old time, listen to music and gossiping about the boys. So it was just really interesting. And the interesting too is how they talked and how they wrote and what was interesting to talk about in a letter. Like nowadays we text and we email and we social media, it's like crazy. And the verbiage and these letters are quite fun to read. It was just the difference of the time. So all right, guys, I'm gonna glad you guys enjoyed this. And hopefully as much as I did, this was so much fun. And thank you guys for the patience of waiting for me to get through and read and kind of have a direction and where these are from and why. All right, guys, you have an amazing day. Bye.
