I Haz A Craigslist Sad
Ok, first off let me say I am happy that these people are together enough to recognize that this stove needs a new home instead of a trip to the dump, BUT.....I'm so sad they bought this house and it's kitchen with lovely pink counters, birch cabinets, this glorious stove....AND IT'S NOT THEIR STYLE. I guess I just don't get it, why would you buy this house if it's not your style? I bet they are going to to rip that kitchen apart and install some boring HGTV approved greige granite 'decor'. Seriously, aren't there enough newer homes out there for these people to buy so they can stop mauling cool old houses?!!

"The Front Line" 1965 Supermarket Checker Training Film
If you love old grocery stores as much as I do, this is one of those holy grail films....check out the glorious supermarket interiors (so much pastel!), the beautiful food packaging and the little magazine kiosk at each station. It's product placement heaven for the Reader's Digest family of magazines. (I guess you are entitled to do that when you finance the film.)
Also, I really love the cute little pink uniforms these checkers are wearing, not the blue one so much though.
I actually took a supermarket checker course at the community college back in 1990 and this is one of the films they showed us.....this one, and a really awesome 60's one about shoplifting, called The Shoplifter. Find it if you can, it's completely worth your time. It's full of hammy acting and it does show the fabulous interiors and merchandise of quite a few types of stores.
Lastly, I don't think we have a Checker of the Year anymore here in the states, but it looks like New Zealand does! :)

When the 60s Got UGLY.....
Early American style furniture. blech! I remember my grandparents having some of this crap (sans the hideous pattern) in their living room. They also had a dining room set.
Why on earth would anyone want reproductions of 'authentic colonial furniture' when there was stylish SPACE AGE MODERN furniture available?!!!!
This is much more like it!
I've put up some scans from the 1969/70 fall and winter Western Auto catalog on flickr (click to go there!)

Seriously, It's been a catalog scanning frenzy around here lately....keep on the look out for scans from a couple of lovely Montgomery Ward catalogs from 1941 and a nifty one from 1955. Currently i have some scans from a really nice 1962 Crescent Department Store (Spokane, Wa) Christmas catalog up on flickr for you to check out....

Oh Cute!
Saw this Schilling Fancy Decors bottle at the flea market today. The color is wonderful, the font is great and the illustration of that girl is adorable! Why can't labels be like this anymore? *sigh*
