Mac items you had to leave behind

That's my precious now! I assume you'll have no hang-ups about it being thrown into the cargo hold of a plane and tossed into the back of a van to get it delivered to me here in Australia?

Yeah Louie, I paid a decent price for it... but I sold it for $300. The framing was done in plexiglass so it was surprisingly light in weight, despite it's size. I think the framing cost me about $135 in Florida.

I'll make you one hell of a deal if you want all my LPs! I'm tired of dragging them around in all these moves LOL.

I saw a nice vinyl copy of Penguin on Monday, was only £6 but I thought better of it. But in time I’ll regret that as would like a copy for my collection. Same goes for Heroes Are Hard To Find of which I’ve only ever seen one vinyl copy and decided against it.

I took that photo and obviously I have the poster!! I saw it in a fanzine and decided I had to have it. I looked EVERYWHERE for it. I told anyone who would listen how much I wanted it. Then a member of Enchanted found the poster in a shop in Colorado. She then asked me if I wanted her to pick it up for me and ship across the country to me! I was stunned. That poster is sort of the holy grail of Stevie posters only because there were so few printed up. It's for a one off City Of Hope she did in 1983. You can't see it in the photo but the bottom gives the details about the show. One of the things I love about the poster is the ribbons are blowing on the fan, but the fan isn't even plugged in!!!

Back when Barbara Nicks was still running ‘Silver Spring Emporium’ (not the current incarnation which seems to only have leftover stock), she had a lot of cool signed items.

I did buy a signed ‘Street Angel’ shirt, but wish I bought more. She was selling a signed ‘Time Space’ CD for a ‘measly’ $40. I so wish I bought that.

I like Stevie's custom made Wild Heart tour jewelry that pops up once in a blue moon on ebay though I can't afford it. I do already have a WH tour ring, but I'd like to get my mitts on one of the necklaces or brooches.

Oh, I do regret selling a Timespace promo hourglass I once had.

It was honestly, cheaply made - exactly something you can buy in a kitchen supplies store (to time your egg cooking). It was customised with a sticker saying 'Stevie Nicks - Time Space' on top.

I sold on ebay for about $100+. The buyer was 'Wynnco' of all people - (I'm sure some of you here know about them).

Nowadays, I wish I kept the hourglass - it was very rare.

Now I'm glad I got my copy of Heroes for three bucks.

I have two vinyl copies and they were both $10.

Anything you regret buying? I guess the hardest decisions I had to make was when I was at this great record store in Portland, OR in 1989. They had all of the Warner Bros. vinyl, from 1970 on (only had Heroes on CD though) and I had to decide what to get with limited money. I ended up with Then Play On and Kiln House. I wish I had bought the Penguin cassette they had.

Which store? Music Millenuim? Everyday Music? Portland still has some great record stores. I'm in a little town in Mass. right now. The only "record" store is Best Buy. So pathetic!

This was in Portland, Oregon and the name of the store was ??. I really don't remember the name, except that it was a guy's name or a last name(Brucie's?) This was 20 years ago and I guess I'm getting forgetful

I happened to find this one in the "rummage" bin at Tower Records, and it quickly became my prized possession (I was just a kid; give me a break!):



It was at least 20" x 30" and printed on this matte/textured parchment kind of paper- it definitely looked like a pastel drawing. It was on my bedroom wall for many, many years... But lo and behold, when my family moved while I was in college, my grandmother conveniently discarded it- after all it was "just paper." Ugh! As you can see, no one in my family knows the meaning of the word "sentimental." If I still had it today, I would have had it framed- it was incredibly well done.

BTW, she also conveniently tossed out my ticket stub signed by Bruce Springsteen on the Born in the USA tour while he was walking around outside of the Capitol Centre before the show. It was just more "junk," to toss out, I guess.

That's actually a poster promoting The Wild Heart.

My mother did the same thing to me, the minute I left for college. She dumped everything in my room that I hadn't taken with me to the dorm, even though she'd been watching me collect it for years. I asked her why and she said if it was important, I would have taken it with me. How so when my dorm room space was the size of a postage stamp?!

This is the same woman who gave all my barbies to the next door neighbor when I was 12 without so much as asking me, because I didn't play with them anymore.
