Hey all...I have been looking for this game forever! My neighbors had it when I was growing up, they kept their board games in ther cool bomb shelter! Really! That is where we played back in the early sixties! Also found this formica desk for ten dollars! My all time best find, though, has to be these atomic melmac dishes! Only wish there were more...

After Christmas Mid Century Decorating!!

 Finally took some after Christmas pictures. I like redecorating every year, but it's a big job. I try to do a lot of color to cheer up the place! Always seems so bare after the busy and clutter of Christmas! Enjoy!

Happy New Year

Looking back at all the stuff I used to have before 5 moving sales! Wow! I always get "verklempt" after taking down my Christmas anyway. Searching for all my "regular" stuff is wierd, because I take everything out in Sept. to put up Halloween, then don't see it again til Jan.! I haven't taken new pix yet, but will tonight. Until then, bask in the glory of some oldies!

Hello all! I am sitting here debating on whether to go out to the store because the ice has already started here in Independence, Mo. Then, 5 or more inches of snow is supposed to fall. Two days ago, it was in the sixties! That's Missouri! I had posted some more pix  and some were duplicates while some are upside down! Trying again...

This is my Frosty I have had since I was little. 

My smaller aluminum tree with old and new ornaments -finally bought a new colorwheel on my Autumn trip to Weston at the old time hardware store!
I made some swags out of tablecloths and fastened some of my vintage brooches on them. Usually I hang heavier vintage drapes, but wanted something lighter this year!

This is the pix that came out upside down. It's my collection of vintage stencils still in package, some flocked bells from Ben Franklin with tags and wrappers in tact, and ribbons, and of course ole HARRY TRUMAN shopping on the Independence square in the fifties.

Moon shelf in my bedroom with flocked Santas and elves.

Mid century metal candle holder with plastic trimmings and velvet bow. In bedroom...

Plaid in bathroom.

Parade of Santas and Candle blomolds in living room on my Magnovox stereo console.

Flocked Mrs. Santa from Woolworths.

And flocked Mr. Santa from same package, Woolworths. (both bespeckaled!)

Some of my ceramic carolers and my Its' a Wonderful life town my son got
 me a few years back...and my little white fiberoptic tree from Dollar General about 10years ago...they had the cutest ones with candles that say Noel, candy canes and ornaments that lit up. The base rotates and says Merry Christmas in the color that is on at the time.

well...more later.
