I Remember...

I would love to begin a "department" called "I remember..." where readers send in one of their favorite memories of the past, specifically regarding the 1950's era through 1970's. I know that there are followers of all ages out there and obviously not everyone can have memories based in that time period but we all have Grammas and Grampas, Aunties and Uncles, etc. who may have shared one of their stories with you.  I think it would be fun to share the memories with everybody! Please
send your memories HERE!

DRAW ME again!

Wow, Draw Bob Hope? Cool. I've learned that there are tons of variations on this 'Draw Me' ad, so I am on the hunt for as many neat vintage ones I can find. I would be Soooo grateful to anyone who could find one I don't have. (the ones I do have are posted on the blog) I've got a neat idea for a project and I'd love to share!

She's neat. I guess they started these ads in the 30's so there's just got to be some ULTRA COOL ones hiding out there.

What I think is neat about these is how they reflect the style of the times, at least the ladies.

Oh Gosh, look at that sweet hat, Love this one.

I really like this one. I love her accesories.

This cowboy bores me terribly.

I dont want any of the animal figures. Those ones don't turn me on in the least.
