The one day Vintage Collectibles and Hawaiiana Show at Blaisdell on Sunday was crowded with Vendors and people.
Lots of old coins and jewelry like Mings, dolls, china, and even wooden hangers, comics … how true the saying, "one man's trash is another man's treasure".
Curbing my impulse to collect trash (which I am guilty of), I had a brief glimpse into the past among the myriad of Hawaiiana items on sale.
A couple of booths had those wooden perfume bottles that I was collecting years ago because of nostalgic rather than any artistic or monetary values, and because they were inexpensive and wooden.
