Coles Cards - Melbourne 1956 Olympics

I've had some readers express interest in Coles cards, particularly the ones commemorating the Olympic Games in Melbourne in 1956.  So my next post will consist of photos of these cards.

Is anyone still out there??

I think I've done my dash this time....left it far too long for any of the original readers to stay with me.  I've made a final ditch effort, and have been photographing the rest of my cards, ready to post here on a regular basis, but if nobody is left to read it, I won't bother!  Most people seem to have gone on from blogging to Facebook these days, but I won't be going there.

What category would you like to see?

So.....below I've just posted an update on my cats cards, and all the horse cards I've got.
I've just flipped through my albums and am wondering if I will ever get all my cards on here?  Perhaps a blog wasn't such a good idea - they do have limits, and I'm a bit surprised that I haven't well and truly exceeded them over the 10 years I've been blogging!  But this blog might be the proverbial straw....

I have many more vintage (well, all my cards are vintage!) cards that come under the category of 'People',  including royalty, artists/paintings, dancers, Asian, and so on.  If I still do have anyone reading this, you might like to leave a comment saying which categories you would like to see.  I've just about 'done' the animals, but there is also ships and boats, flowers, places, objects....take your pick!  It would make it a lot easier for me to focus if I knew what readers wanted to see.

Horses swap cards.

I was never a big collector of cards with horses on them, preferring cats and dogs, but they still manage to creep into the collection over time!

New Cat cards.

Since I last posted photos of my cards, I have accumulated quite a few more cards in various categories, but I've also re-organised them somewhat, so future photos may have cards in them that were in earlier posts on this blog.  I'll try not to duplicate, but it can't be helped.

OK - the blog stays!

I just looked at this blog for the first time in ages, and feel very guilty about all those broken promises about posting more photos of my cards.   I am surprised and flattered to see so many people want me to leave the blog online, so I will do so.  I truly meant to take more photos of my cards and post them here, but life just gets in the way.  My husband says I have too many hobbies and that I'll never be able to finish anything or keep up with them all.  Maybe not, but I'll die happy from trying!
Right, you have motivated me.  I just retrieved my albums from the box in the cupboard, and this weekend, I start snapping!  Hubby won't be home all day on Sunday, so I will have an uninterrupted time to get things done that I don't seem to get around to during the week, even though he is at work.  Week days are busy whether you work or not; there is shopping to be done, bills to pay, tradesmen to speak to - all the things that can't be done on a weekend.  So this weekend will be MINE! 

More cards coming soon!

If anyone is still looking at this blog, I do apologise for letting it slip so long. I have another thousand cards to post here, it is just a matter of time! I hadn't bought any cards for a few years, but I now have two new sources, and have added a few to my collection. I've also re-arranged the collection, with my Coles cards in a separate album from everything else, so I may just delete everything on here, and re-photograph them all in their new categories. But don't hold your breath..it will be a big job.
If you are reading this blog, and wish me to continue posting photos of my collection, I would appreciate it if you would leave a comment to let me know. If I don't get any feedback, I will assume nobody reads it, and will delete the blog.
