Groomz! SS success!!

On Rob's Island Groomz and I cemented our status as soul mates when we discovered our mutual love for a little known old standard called "Second Hand Rose."  My grandma used to sing it, and it was on her CD.  After Groomz and I sang and danced a bit, we put on my Grandma singing it (on my iPod) and joined in.  It was a delightful moment in time, and I sing the song often, sometimes imagining myself doing a little soft shoe combo with Groomz and Grandma.  It's a wonderful thing. 

Anyway, Groomz found me what appears to be a very vintage-y either album print or old-timey ad for a Second Hand Rose album.  It's delightful on its own, but even more so for all the awesome memories it evokes.  LOVE!

 Where did you find such a thing Groomz?  It's so awesome and special and us.  I'll smile every time I see it. 

 You're the bomb yo.

  • This may be the poinsettia talking, but I feel a bit weepy over this gift.

  • Groomz is a magical SS. That is so special.
  • One second.  First I posted it huge, then I had to shrink it and overshrunk.  Trying again.

  • Aw, Groomz! What a sweetheart.
  • Did I fix it?  And yes.  Totally awesome, clever, sentimental gift.  Gosh I love that guy.

  • You did. That's really lovely.

  • What a great present.  I kind of want a video of you both singing!
  • Love!

    I believe the illustrator is Erte. I may or may not own several Erte coloring books.

    Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
  • Awwwww, I'm a little sniffly. That's one of my favorite memories from Rob's Island, making breakfast and listening to your grandma sing to us.

    <3 you guys.

  • YAY!  I'm so glad you like it.  It's actually sheet music.  The person I got it from told me it was from the 20's, but I forgot to check the date before I put it in the frame.  From what I could figure out on line, it was either from '21 or from the 60's. 

    You still have another gift on its way.  Hopefully it will make it there soon.

  • This is why I hate doing SS.  It makes me feel like such a failure that I would never think of or find something so good.

  • Ah Fwnt. Bah humbug to you too! Another gift?! WTF Groomz?. I looked at it for a long time last night. It looks real old. I think I'll put it in my bedroom. It'll be like you're looking over us every night. Which is weird in a hot way.

  • I'm floored.  What an awesome gift!  It's a gorgeous picture, and the meaning behind it makes it even better.

    I'm half tempted to make sure Groomz draws me for SS next year.

  • That's such an awesome gift!

    I drove my mom completely INSANE with that song when I was in 4th grade. I played it over and over and over while I tried to come up with my own dance routine with tap shoes I borrowed from a friend (I never took dance, so you can imagine how good that routine must have been, and why I had to borrow the shoes). I had to do it in the kitchen because it was the only room with a hard floor that was big enough to shake my groove thang. Plus it had delightful accoustics.
