Alphabet Frenzy and Funny Google Keywords

I like letters. Anything with letters. Not just one or two letters. LOTS of letters. And numbers. Remember the metal stencils that I bought at Renninger's a few years ago?

And these Spanish flashcards?

And these flashcard letters?

Well, here are a few more recent additions to my alphabet frenzy:

This is a BIG box filled with letters that are used for display signs.

Each letter has pins on the back for attaching to a board.

They are very similar to the Mittens Professional Movie Titlers that I wrote about in my post on creating fabric-covered corkboards.

Well, I bought another set of those on eBay.

I couldn't resist!

Speaking of eBay...did you ever see a photo of something on eBay and you imagined that it was a certain size, but then you won the auction and got it in the mail and realized you were waaaay off?

That's what happened when I bought this set of rubber alphabet stamps, called "Aristocrat Sign Marker". I thought is was a small wooden box filled with tiny rubber stamps.

Nope. The stamps are huge. The box is over two feet wide. Even the wooden ink pads are six inches across. Don't get me wrong - I am glad that it is bigger than I imagined.

That's what she said.

Every once in a while, I look at the keywords that people type into Google in order to reach my site. Most of the time, it is words like "fresh vintage" or "fabric-covered corkboards" or "yard sale blog". And then there are phrases like the ones below. The people who typed these definitely weren't looking for a yard sale blog...

Love the stamp set!

You had me rolling with your "that's what she said" comment, and then I nearly peed my pants reading the search phrases. Too much.

[Tara]

Oh. My. Gawd.
My question to you is ... Where do I BUY the collection of cock socks? I'm ever so curious to see them. I'm picturing knitted tubes in brightly coloured stripes.
Say "hi" to Rod ;)

[Jenny]

Now, come on. Be honest.

[Gina at Vintage Junk in My Trunk]

What does it say about me that I uttered "that's what she said" just before scrolling down and seeing that you wrote it?

Fortunately, I was nowhere near close to guessing any of those googled phrases. Too, too, funny.

I think the letter obsession is somehow related to the boggle obsession--or was that your mom? That was my favorite blog! I like letters too--probably related to me being a librarian. How do you check those keywords in google?

[Katherine]

Yes letters are somehow addictive ....cheers katherine

[Alicia ~ Time Worn Style]

I just found your blog. I was already smitten with the title and appearance, but the "that's what she said" comment put me over the edge! Love it!

[Angela]

was just wanting to comment on my coveting all the stencils....then the phrases. priceless. sanitary napkin belt? really. i think it might be with the 8-track player or the cotton gin? :)

[Jim looking for armless chairs]

Your collection is quite impressive. I only know of some people who are also into collecting alphabets as a hobby. I, myself, am in the habit of collecting armless chairs. I do not know what and why I started doing it but whenever we went out of the country, I always look for those kinds of chairs. I bought one from Bombay and have it shipped through FedEx. I now own 50 armless chairs to date and my husband is complaining about it because there is no more space for it. I am hoping that you are not experiencing the same situation that I am in right now.

There is a sign marker on ebay like that one! Its cool
