Redonda Islands - Fantasy Banknotes

 I have come across some fantasy banknotes on eBay. I used the search words 'fantasy banknotes' and come across quite a few. The ones I like are the ones with a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. 


I think they are cool looking and are well done. They seems to feel like the current banknotes from Europe. 


These are Redonda Island ones. At first I thought it was a made up place but it does exist. I don't know if they have their own money or not but it would be cool if it looked like these. 

As one can see, there is a picture of Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on them. I think it is a nice picture. It is one of the reasons I bought them. I believe this is the front of the banknote.



Here is the back of them. I try to get two sets of them but I only got one of these. I think it was reasonably priced; especially for the quality of what one got. 

I have a list of sites that sell fantasy banknotes. It is in my blog about Aldabra Islands.

Book On George Washington Carver By Tonya Bolden

Image
          I found a book on the life of George Washington Carver  (Wikipedia link). It was not overly detailed but it does talk about his life and accomplishments. I think there are some really nice illustrations and photos in it.           I think it is great for those who want to learn about George Washington Carver but might not have a lot of time to read about him or just have a passing interest in him.           It was an easy read and it was also informative. It could lead someone to read more about him. I have an ebook on him that has more details about his life (subject of another post / blog).          I found it at the Thriftbooks (they have a lot of books at great prices) for a great price (not many left at the site - just click on the link). They have other books  (link on a search using his name) on him too.  Even the back of it is really n...

Iron Pyrite - Fools Gold - from Hidden.Treasures.Abound from Abandoned and Forgotten Places.

Image
  This is my latest win on eBay. It is from the YouTube channel Abandoned and Forgotten Places. The eBay name is hidden.treasures.abound. I had won different rocks / samples that they have put up for bids at eBay.  I think this is a cool way to support them and their adventures exploring abandoned mines and it is a neat way to have something that they encountered during their explorations.  I won this by luck and by God's grace. I put bids on their other samples but I was soon outbid for them. I am blessed that I won this one. I don't mind being outbid for the others since my loss is their gain.  Here are the three samples of iron pyrite that I won. I believe it is also called 'fools gold'. I think they are really neat. It came with two sheets of documentation; both signed by Gly. I think the documents is just as cool as the samples.  Here are the same rocks as the first photo but laid upside down when compared to the first photo. The document in this photo is t...

A Bear Called Paddington by Michael Bond

Image
  I bought this book at Thriftbooks (probably also available at other sites and locations but this is where I acquired my copy). I had gotten enough points for a free book and I chose this one. I believe Thriftbooks sells used books (the used ones I get there are usually in great shape and the prices are very good; in my opinion).            It is a simple easy to read book. Just because it is for the youth doesn't mean those who are 'young at heart' cannot read it. Since I am in the 'young at heart' category, I read it. I not only read it but also enjoyed it too.           It shows the origins of Paddington and how he came about to be part of the family he is with. I believe it is from the perspective of a family member that we know of Paddington's adventure. He has a few in the book.           It seems to be the first in many Paddington Bear's book. I think they could be worth reading....
