Well, it is to me anyway...I finally hit 100,00 views on flickr today! I was so excited, I took a screen shot:



I think it's a good time to telly you I added a bunch of new scans. There's everything from tintypes to cookbooks to astrological charts of random famous people and also some old Kodak photos like the one of the girl and her grandparents at the top of the post.

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*

Lil' Softy

So I got off my butt and went thrift shopping this weekend.....oh thrifts how I missed you! I managed to find some cool items to buy, one of which is right here, a 1970s Lil' Softy advertising doll still in her package. She is currently for sale in my Etsy store.



For those of you who are not familliar with Lil' Softy's magic, or just need a refresher course, here is a youtube video I found. I totally remembered this from my childhood (yes, I'm old...shut up!), but I guess I must have blocked out her creepy Carol Channing like voice. (Feel free to ignore the Dairy Queen commercial that comes after, though it's sort of interesting to watch in it's own weird way.)

NO NO NO!

I'm all for upcycling or reusing vintage items when it's appropriate, but this just seems like wanton destruction........

Hello There....

OMG! I see I haven't updated this blog for 5 MONTHS. yikes! where does the time go? I'm sorry little blog, I'll try to do better by you....it's just that tumblr came calling and then google+ (so far I've managed to stay away from pinterest, but I don't know for how long) and also I've been busy listing on etsy, running to the post office, scanning pix and sometimes posting them on flickr, updating my facebook page and twitter once in a while. With all that, plus dealing with daily life...my medication makes me sleepy (but I am in remission currently, yeah!) and some of the astrological aspects of the last few months have been less than pleasant....I'll admit it, sometimes I just get overwhelmed and then I become neglectful.....*sigh*

Anyway, I hope all of you are happy, healthy and doing well. Since it's too late to wish you a nice Summer, I'll wish you a nice Fall instead.........
