Thanks, in advance.

Are you asking that question of everyone reading this around the world, or just members of your little group? I'm sure people in England have wonderful articles and ads for European vacuums. So many members of Vacuumland are not from the U.S.

And, I realize that not everyone celebrates Christmas

Some celebrate Hanukkah, some don't observe anything. That's fine, too. But, it IS a holiday edition. It's always fun to see decorations, ads, poem, recipes, as well as a 'spa' treatment tips, ideas, etc.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Sam and I are starting

"the process".We have all kinds of really nice ideas. Feel free to share yours as well.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

And, remember, members...........

IF you'd rather NOT have your info on the roster, tell us. Because, if you don't , it WILL be there.

Also, please make sure your info is UP TO DATE, so we don't put false info in there.
Thanks,
John

Question

Hey
I have an interesting way to use commuter stone.
I also have close to 20 advertising ads from 1920s.
Which of those would be suitable in your opinion.
I got newsletter. It was put together and I was impressed.
Les

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Hi Les!

Any info on stones, polishes, etc will be GREAT.
As far as ads: I'd say anything "different", maybe with a Christmas "theme"... we'll look over loads of them and will select some choice ads from that era.
Thanks.
Glad you like the newsletter.

Les,

Again, thanks for contributing.
Think of what you'd LIKE US TO SEE, and go from there. Well look at everything.

I hope there is plenty of vintage style Christmas ads/displays etc....the vintage aspect usually denotes family...nostalgia...memories if nothing else....a glimpse in to simpler times.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Exactly!

I'm amazed at the artwork that went into all of those things. Sam is currently scanning lots of old ads, etc. I have wonderful photos, for instance, of THe Hoover Company at Christmas .
They'll be tales of the glories of Christmases long, long ago.
"It's the most wonderful time of the year!"

Are you looking for articles or video?

 

[gottahaveahoove]

poems, holiday recipes.......... anything w/ a vacuum and or holiday theme.
Thanks.

John

are you going to use the photos from my mini meet?

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Of course!

Are you alright with that? We'd like to put several in it.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Are there special ones you'd like in it?

Any ones you don't?

 

[vacuumlad1650]

Perhaps Kenny would be OK with our using some pictures from the minimeet at Jeff P's a few weeks back? I would ask him...not my pictures to share!

 

[eurekaexpress]

John

you can put any of them in you want.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Ok, Joe, thanks.

We'll have to check with Jeff about sharing pictures. Being that he is a former VCCC member (in good standing), and, there were several current members there, we'll check.
Thanks, Andy.

 

[kloveland]

Yes Andy,

I'll contribute. Or you can share them. It doesn't bother me. One person already has. But not in a nice way. Let just say principles above personalities. Always take the high road!
