Did you read about my Santa that belonged to my Grandparents??
My dear friend Tete did some looking up on Morris 5&10. You see it was not in the town where my Grandparents lived.
She found this article. http://madisoncourier.com/main.asp?SectionID=4&SubSectionID=255&ArticleID=39048&TM=34867.28
Here is the interesting thing....the town in in Indiana, Madison. My Grandparents are from Central ILL. but from my Aunts, and Grandmother's diaries I know they went on a trip to Madison once. The next part is my Aunt (their daughter) moved to a town about 30 miles from Madison in the 1940's. When I go to see them we go shopping in downtown Madison and I have been to where the 5 &10 use to be! It is a small world!
Thanks to my Grandmother leaving the price tag on, my Aunt writing diaries from 1904-1960's and Tete I can pinpoint the exact date and place where she bought that precious Santa so many years ago!
I find that fascinating!

So cool- and now you have the rest of the story and can pass that on down the line!
I thought it was fun when I found that online!
Hugs- Tete
I love how you both put all the pieces together-isn't Tete great-she's done some research for me in the past!
