A New Visit to Little Nemo Auction House 

I've been looking at old written posts, 

and then deciding whom I will write about again.

I came across a recent post that I wrote on March 18, 2024.  It's quite recent , being a mere 8 1/2months ago. But when I returned to the Little Nemo Auction House, I knew that I would be writing another post for this exceptional site on Liveauctioneers and for the owner of this company.

What's unique about this site, is that it is written in 2 languages,  

English & Italian.

The auction took place on March 21,2024,  and can be found 

on the Liveauctioneers website by clicking on the linebelow:

Please click on this line to visit the original auction and final purchased prices 

There were several toys of which I never heard of the name of their manufacturer.

So if you're interested in new discoveries, you might want to visit this past auction.

As for myself, I might even contact some European auctions, 

now that I just remembered that Liveauctioneers  also has links to Europe.  

I decided to write the written description in both English and Italian, 

out of courtesy for the owners of this company and,

as well, for the people who live in Italy or speak Italian.

So that's it for today. I most certainly enjoyed writing this blog post.

There were plenty of toys that I had not seen before, or knew the name 

of the manufacturer. I think also (in all seriousness) that typing in Italian 

helps your memory!

When you have to remember the word "industializzazione" an 18-letter 

word, you most-certainly start to exercise your brain in trying to remember 

all those letters without going back to look at the word. 

And I also learned to add special accents over the letter ã and é.

Of course, living in Quebec, we also have accents in French, but I seldom 

type in French.

So that's it for today.

I most-certainly had a great time writing this blog post,

and I hope you will also.
