I love the school items. The school yearbooks will be so much fun to look through. My husband graduated from high school in Alaska. He was an army brat. He went to 13 different schools before graduation. He is older than I am and one day he mentioned that he didn’t get his yearbook when he graduated. So that year for his birthday he got his yearbook. It took me a lot of phone calls because we live in Texas. The school he graduated from is no longer there. But I called around and found one left from that year 1972. Now this was in the year 1999 when I was doing this. He was extremely shocked and grateful that I got his yearbook for him. I was so excited to have been able to get it for him. Stay safe and God Bless

What a nice thing to do for your husband. My husband was stationed at Fort Wainwright in Fairbanks at that time and our son in law is currently stationed in Juneau with our daughter and granddaughter. Coast Guard. Beautiful place, Alaska.

What a loving, heartfelt gift. Hope he loved it.💗

[@annewinchester6945]

How can anyone just throw out historic photos? I'll never understand since I love to preserve history. So glad you got there in time to rescue them.

[@sand3882]

May have been cleaning a house out after someone passed away. Not everyone has family to leave things to, or ones who would be interested.

[@gailcathey5642]

Thanks for saying this. People are always saying why don't the family keep the photos. They come from these families with tons of relatives. Some of us aren't in that situation. There are times when there is no one left in a family.

[@tonyastephens6730]

If there isn’t anyone for the items to go to, it would be something to give to the local historical society.

[@mircat28]

Maybe a divorce and what was left behind got trashed.

IF you can find them, they can sell for up to $3/jar but I’m in a very rural area where people will pay well to get ready for the next season, considering the huge shortage in stores AND online.

[@sharonnowlin2297]

You HAD a GREAT DAY finding items from your town and high school! I LOVE how excited you get when you find things that make you SO HAPPY! If the glue in the brown bottle was TACKY GLUE, it's great for repairing books that the cover or the binding has torn lose. It sticks great and dries clear. I'm not sure if the bag that you got had the papers/booklets from older appliances, but if they did they most times sell great on eBay! THANKS AGAIN for SHARING!!

[@patternharlot]

Mason jar factoid: when bought NEW, jars come with lids and screwbands. Jars and screwbands are kept until they show signs of cracks, chips, rust or dents that may effect the seal. The lids are the separate flat disks with the rubberized seal and are a one time use. When I was actively canning, I always bought jars at yard sales etc. The screwbands and lids are cheap and abundant. It is never wise to reuse any other type of jar (mayo, jelly) for canning as they lack the physical integrity of a canning jar. Leave those for your buttons and marbles. 😉

[@phyllisstrider2998]

Renee, I volunteer at our towns museum. We have a school room. We take in all kinds of school things old and new. I don't understand people throwing away history. Donate it. Glad you saved it. ❤🇺🇸👏

Hi Renee, if you put the military yearbooks on the market they will probably sell. Having served myself (training in Bainbridge, MD) 1960 and 61, and married for 57 years to a Navy retiree those yearbooks are pretty special. Exciting finds for you today!

Thank you Renee for Sharing yet another Curbside shopping adventure. I agree with you about the things that were not yet on the curb. I am bold though, if I found something that I liked I would go and knock on door and stand 6 feet back and ask them if the items were set for trash pickup. Seriously I love how you are so knowledgeable about things like this a d very considerate!

[@ednabart1199]

Renee, when I was little we did not have spray snow for the stencils. We used a metal can of “glass wax” that was liquid and we would dab it on the window stencil and it would dry white, it was used to clean window. We did not have spray window cleaner. That was from the 1950s. Such great memories.

[@bobross4237]

the old wood skis can bring nice money, $75-150 out here in Montana. Great vintage decor for anything from a rustic cabin to a multi million dollar McMansion. They are hard to find in decent condition.

[@davidvincent2nd757]

I'm glad you found so much to make you happy . My high school became a middle school for four years and then changed back to a high school . In order to accommodate the students that lived in the area age wise . I recently went back to purchase a year book . The lady at the bookstore laughed at me . She said we don't have anything from when this was a high school the first time . She said all the trophies in the display case and all the records were destroyed . No one was allowed to keep anything . A state official over seen the burning of the paper and the trophies were crushed . Student records were put in a database . To many people wanted to sell the items and expected them for free . So couldn't make everyone happy, so the decision was made to make no one happy . Bought my year book on line .

People cut up the bandanna and appliqués them to sweatshirts and embellished them with turquoise plastic beads and silver colored stud! Big in the 1980’s! Interesting that you are so attached to your schools.

[@lynnmaupin-simpson1215]

Renee, the rolls of heat bond allow you to transfer a design to an article of clothing. If you liked part of the Native American design on the bandana you can cut it out and bond it to the collar,cuffs,and pocket of a shirt. Both the shirt and bandana need to be washed and air dried. Fabric softener prevents the heat bond from sticking. So you would iron on the heat bond to the wrong side of the bandana. Then cut out your design,take the paper backing off the heat bond, and iron the designs on your shirt. Use no steam. Use steady pressure with the iron not back and forth. I have many things embellished this way. Some I made 20 years ago and the designs are still stuck. Heat bond iui s used for hemming,RIP repair,etc. I made curtains for my van and didn't see any of it.

Canning jars and lids are like finding gold nuggets. If there had been a free sign on that stuff, those would have been gone. It would be nice if someone from the schools would buy the yearbooks. Have fun researching them. My 4th grade teacher also had my mom, two of my aunts and my older sister. She always called me by one of their names but couldn't remember my name.

Anyway mine was all filled out, my mom has beautiful handwriting, those nuns didn't mess around. photos, the works. Little less with my brother, but being the first grandson was a big deal. By the time the third was born, he had a book with his name in it & not much else. Middle child you know. The last 2 nothing! But the had it easy.

You only use lids for canning jars ONCE, as they are immersed in boiling water and you assume the seal will not hold up properly after a single use. They do make reusable lids and they are all sold online, so are easy to access.

My collection covers 1922-1960 [the year I graduated]. I also have my mom's yearbooks from Mission High [1936] and Everett Jr. High [1932]...she was cute! Both schools are still alive and well here in S.F. My dad was also in the Everett yearbook, as well as Mission, same years. I also have my baby book. Mom sure kept records and photos of her "Bundle of Joy".
