Older Is Better

If you have never taken a trip to a local antique or thrift store then you have been missing out. Although the smell is a musty one that you won't soon forget, there are some little treasures to be found and they can be purchased for under five dollars. This week Brett and I have come across some awesome items that are older than us and probably cooler than us too.

Just like an antique or thrift store, Grandma's basement can be a great place to find small treasures, however, if you're "in" with Grams then they won't cost you a penny, maybe just a big kiss and one of those dreaded tugs on your cheek. The past few weeks, Brett has been doing some digging in his Gram's basement and found some awesome items. Over the past year or so Brett has shown me a clock, a high school senior picture of his Dad and a great furniture collection. However, this time we had a camera handy and took a picture of his most recent discovery; a bartenders guide. To be more specific, Old Mr. Boston's De Luxe Official Bartender's Guide. We'll be practicing all week, and Alexis has volunteered to test every drink.

Although my find is unable to be held in my hands, I still found it to be incredible. Now, I'll admit I don't really like baseball, but, when we're talking about American history and then baseball comes involved...now you have got my attention. Well imagine this, having the chance to bid on the game used bat of the great Babe Ruth. Hang on Yankees fans, this bat was used to win the rivaled Red Sox of Boston a World Series title. In short, this bat was auctioned off and was the second highest selling point of a baseball bat in history. The first? Find out when you check out the full article here.
