My Favorite Song about Independence day

Jul 04 2009 Published by admin under My Life

I first heard it around 1978, it was my anthem . I was turning 18 in a few months.

Independence Day
Well Papa go to bed now it’s getting late
Nothing we can say is gonna change anything now
I’ll be leaving in the morning from St. Mary’s Gate
We wouldn’t change this thing even if we could somehow
Cause the darkness of this house has got the best of us
There’s a darkness in this town that’s got us too
But they can’t touch me now
And you can’t touch me now
They ain’t gonna do to me
What I watched them do to you

So say goodbye it’s Independence Day
It’s Independence Day
All down the line
Just say goodbye it’s Independence Day
It’s Independence Day this time

Now I don’t know what it always was with us
We chose the words, and yeah, we drew the lines
There was just no way this house could hold the two of us
I guess that we were just too much of the same kind

Well say goodbye it’s Independence Day
It’s Independence Day all boys must run away
So say goodbye it’s Independence Day
All men must make their way come Independence Day

Now the rooms are all empty down at Frankie’s joint
And the highway she’s deserted down to Breaker’s Point
There’s a lot of people leaving town now
Leaving their friends, their homes
At night they walk that dark and dusty highway all alone

Well Papa go to bed now it’s getting late
Nothing we can say can change anything now
Because there’s just different people coming down here now
and they see things in different ways
And soon everything we’ve known will just be swept away

So say goodbye it’s Independence Day
Papa now I know the things you wanted that you could not say
But won’t you just say goodbye it’s Independence Day
I swear I never meant to take those things away

Camelotglass on Etsy* seller of the day*

Jul 02 2009 Published by admin under MilkGlass, Uncategorized

1st of all, I love the name Camelotglass. It reminds me of JFK era, and the time of simple elegance .

Camelotglass is a long time haunter of auctions, flea markets and second hand shops, her shop represents love of all things vintage. She deal primarily, but not exclusively, in vintage glassware (depression, carnival glass, elegant, vaseline, art glass, etc).She also sometimes carry other vintage collectibles (metalware, vintage accessories, figurines, plates, etc).

One of my favorite items from her store ( perhaps because I grew up with a set)

Vintage Russian Matryoshka Nesting Dolls

Nesting dolls are the best known and most popular of all Russian souvenirs. The Russian word for these dolls is “matryoshka”, but they are also called matrioshka, matryoshkas, babushka dolls, babushka’s doll, matroshka, matryushka, and stacking dolls.

These dolls where a gift from a friend who went to Russia in the 1970’s and have been displayed since.

There are five (5) wooden dolls, the tallest is 7 ¼”. They are hand turned, painted with gorgeous reds blacks and gold from basswood then varnished.

These beautiful dolls will make a nice addition to your collection or serve as the perfect decorative touch to any cabinet.
