One example has been a vintage Picciano Ceramics Christmas Tree or a dog-eared copy of Max Eastman's "Reflections on The Failure of Socialism".
And then there was this---snapped up by a friend in mint condition for the princely sum of a dollar- at the Croton Village Wide Tag Sale--LOUIS A. BRENAN, YES THAT LOUIS A. BRENNAN---a 1964 first edition copy of TREE OF ARROWS. He's ecstatic.
Meanwhile, his sister found some pottery that may be related to a 1970's Croton husband and wife team---but we need to do some research first. More perhaps this week.
All and all it was a very successful village wide tag sale....oh and did I mention he got his wife the cutest DeVaz denim jacket. You may remember this designer's name, who had a very brief moment in the early 80's....at least back in the city. See you next year.....

As many of you know, assorted lawn signs (not going to name the candidates or party--some of you know who they are) were once again placed in village rights of way in recent days. Thank you to staff for removing these in a timely fashion (they are a code violation when placed in rights of way).
Yes, it's that time of year--silly POLITICAL LAWN SIGN season...A reader forwarded this article from THE PATCH. It's very interesting. READ MORE AT Political Yard Signs Test Free Speech, Neighborhood Etiquette: Block Talk | Across America, US Patch

We had our semi-monthly MOVIE NIGHT yesterday---and chose "SUNSET BOULEVARD" starring Croton's Gloria Swanson and "Man's Man" William Holden. All we have to say is WOW, it never gets old. Von Stroheim is wonderful too.
And while Swanson did not win the Oscar for her iconic role as Norma Desmond, she did pick up the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama. (The Best Actress Oscar at the 23rd Academy Awards went to Judy Holliday for her performance in Born Yesterday)
Highly recommend the film. Here's a previous post, film review, and photos at EverythingCroton: 1950--MORE ON CROTON'S GLORIA SWANSON & HER COMEBACK FILM SUNSET BOULEVARD
Enjoyed the best charcuterie board and cocktails too...that's coming this week....
