After each visit to the ocean, the Butterballs return with at least a bucketful of sea-sand( most of it brought home by 'accident') We decided to put the sand to good use by creating our own sandcastle sand-art. Material : A sandcastle color-in page, glue, sand and a few ocean-themed stickers. How to: * Outline the castle with glue (an adults help may be necessarily) * Sprinkle sand onto the picture (great fine motor skill practise!) * Dust off excess sand and allow to dry. * Decorate with stickers or seashells. The Butterballs loved this simple activity. "just like sprinkles!' exclaimed Ethan, while sprinkling sand over his picture. ;)

I am a man obsessed. My obsession? eBay. Specifically, selling posters on eBay. For 30 years I’ve collected vintage posters. My specialty is airline posters -- mostly Air France -- and posters issued by Intourist, the Soviet Union’s travel bureau. Most are from the 1920s through 1950s. In addition to my core collection which I’d never sell, I have 300 other posters. Some are worth a lot. Some aren’t. I bought whatever caught my eye and now they're stashed all over the house, taking up storage space. For years I've been promising my wife I'd sell most of them so two weeks ago, I took photos of five posters, re-activated the eBay account I hadn't used since the early 2000s, wrote descriptive copy and checked web sites of leading poster dealers to establish prices. Five minutes after I posted them on eBay, I had sold two posters for just over 25 percent of what I earned in a year at my first job out of college. That got my attention. Now I’m obsessed. Almost every day I place three or four new posters on eBay… respond to questions from buyers … and make a run to FedEx to ship them. The part of this job I am enjoying most is writing the descriptive copy. After a career of writing ads for corporate clients, I’m the client here. I can write whatever I please. And I do, writing to both inform and entertain any prospective bidders who might be out there. Thought you might enjoy seeing some of the posters I’ve put on eBay and my descriptions of each. Lufthansa Airlines original travel poster Remember when flight attendants – they were called stewardesses back then – had to be pretty and have pleasant personalities in order to get hired? Yeah, those were the days. Most flight attendants these days treat you like a virus. This 1950s poster for Lufthansa German Airlines takes you back to a bygone era. It features a pretty, anorexically slim stewardess who, based on her happy smile, is undoubtedly pleasant as she waves a ticket aloft. Check out the Connie (Constellation) aircraft in the background, along with the happy passengers representing the airline’s destinations across Europe. the USA and South America. Artist: Von Fohnseca. Linen backed and in great condition, this original poster measures 24 7/8" x 39 ¼." Moscow Soviet Intourist original poster Street cars. Red flags flapping in the breeze. Lenin’s tomb. A river teeming with commerce. Stalinist-era high rises. Issued in the 1930s by Intourist, the Soviet Union’s bureau that was charged with attracting tourists to a country that was known as anything but a vacation destination, this vibrant poster invites Germans to visit Moscow – an invitation the German army accepted a few years later (though they certainly didn’t find it to be as welcoming as this poster suggests). There is a repaired tear, approximately 8” long, that runs from the A in MOSCAU to the top right margin, and all four corners have been repaired where the poster was once pinned or taped to the wall. Consider this poster a valuable piece of history that, like Communism itself, has certain flaws. Size: 27 3/8” x 40”. Try our Cleaning of Your School Clothes poster Created to be displayed in a dry cleaning shop, this colorful, fashionable poster from the late forties features a mom and her two impeccably dressed progeny – a daughter in a straw hat and a son wearing a … yarmulke? The bizarrely phrased headline sounds like it was written by someone whose first language wasn’t English but that adds even more character to this strange but endearing poster. Linen-backed. 21 ¼ x 27 ¾. Spring is Gay original Greyhound poster This 1959 poster has so much going for it that we hardly know where to begin but we’ll give it a go. It’s springtime. A couple in a park is strolling past a spurting fountain. Jonquils are in bloom and the trees have just budded. There’s a birdie that is probably chirping a Judy Garland tune. A rainbow – yep, a rainbow – arches above the happy couple. Our favorite part of this poster (other than the headline) is that – get this – they’ve taken a Greyhound bus to get there. There are paper tears along the left margin at the lower edge that won’t show when it’s matted. Size: 26” x 38.” Bid early. Bid often. American Airlines “Arizona” original travel poster Perhaps you had to be a kid growing up in the 1950s, as we were, to fully appreciate this extraordinary and rarely-found poster created for American Airlines by noted illustrator Fred Ludekens. Back then, every other TV show was about cowboys. Kids lived, dreamed and breathed the Wild West. Every boy wanted to grow up to be a cowboy but knew, deep down, he was destined for something more mundane -- perhaps a career as an investment banker or as a member of Congress. American Airlines, when it commissioned this poster, had to know that every kid who saw it in the window of a travel agency would beg, plead and cajole his parents to take him to Arizona where he could play cowboy. But we digress. This extremely vibrant (notice the hot pink sky against the yellow background) poster features a Lockheed Electra flying high above it all. It’s impossible for a camera to fully capture the vividness and vibrancy of the colors. Wouldn’t this look great hanging in the living room of your southwestern-style home, or in the bedroom of your own little cowpoke? The condition is absolutely perfect, and this original poster is linen-mounted to make sure it remains that way for generations to come. Size: 30” x 40.” Fly BOAC to the Rhodesias BOAC (British Overseas Air Corporation) debuted the world’s first passenger jet, the DeHavilland Comet, in 1951. It entered service between London and Britain’s African colonies, which included Northern and Southern Rhodesia (today’s Zambia and Zimbabwe). Unfortunately for BOAC, not to mention its passengers, the Comet had a tendency to break up during flight. After three such break-ups, BOAC grounded its fleet. The magnificent, vibrant poster features a springbok, blissfully unaware that a Comet is flying overhead. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of aviation history. (Or, as the case may be, infamy). Linen backed, this original poster is in perfect condition. Size:19 3/4" x 29 3/4". 1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics original poster There are many things we don’t understand. We don’t understand, for example, why bad things happen to good people. Why folks find Adam Sandler movies to be hilarious. Or why anyone would willingly eat Brussels sprouts. Nor do we understand this poster, created for the 1984 Sarajevo Games by pop artist Jim Rosenquist. We’ve done our research and poster dealers and art galleries around the world are offering it for what we consider to be a goodly amount of money. If you understand it, this poster can and should be yours but you have to promise you’ll explain it to us if you are the successful bidder. Size: 24 3/8” x 33 ½.”
Islas de Gigantes – also known as Higantes Group of islands that are located 12 kilometers east of the town of Estancia but considered as a part of the town of Carles, Iloilo. The Gigantes Islands used to be known as Sabuluag or Salauag after an endemic tree species found in the islands. But as for its modern name “Gigantes”, there are varying versions as to why this came to be. The most common element among all these stories is that during the Spanish colonial era, some caves were were explored in the islands and there, some coffins were discovered which supposedly contained enormous human remains. And since this happened during Spanish times, the Spanish word gigante (giant) came to be applied to the islands. It is composed of the following: · Islas de Gigantes Sur · Islas de Gigantes Norte · Uadayhon Island · Antonia Island · Cabugao Gamay · Bantigue Sandbar · Gaket Gaket Island · Balbagon Island · Molupulo or Seagulls Point · Pulupandan

Made in England. This solid gold albatross will be hand made for you. Please allow up to 30 days manufacturing time. A solid gold portrait of the enormous, magnificent birds who spend their long lives soaring amid the mountainous seas of the southern oceans. With recorded wingspans of over 12 feet Albatrosses are one of the world’s largest birds. Yachtsmen and women skilled enough to sail in the high southern latitudes have recorded these giants following their boats for days on end. In days of old the albatross was seen as a fellow traveller, another 'Christian soul', by lonely sailors. They believed the albatross brought good luck for the crew and symbolizes the delicate balance between man and the ocean. This gold is made from solid 9ct gold that has been given a high-carat gold coating. The albatross measures slightly over 5cm - which is two inches. The 'grey' albatross shown in some of the pictures is the original, hand carved, pewter master pattern used to make the gold pieces. The ‘stick’ visible on the bottom of the master pattern, in some of the pictures, is a sprue that the molten gold is poured through during production. (it will not be visible on the finished pieces). This piece can also be made for you in either 18ct yellow, white or red gold, 22ct gold or platinum. Please contact me for a quotation. Please allow up to 30 days for a solid gold albatross to be made for you. Wearing a piece of Adrian Ashley’s jewellery identifies you as someone who can appreciate handmade goods and fine craftmanship. I do my best to ensure all the raw materials I use have been sourced responsibly and I always price my work honestly. All pieces are handmade in a small workshop in the English countryside and shipped to collectors across the world. Please read my shop policies before ordering.
