Smart Ass Has A New Home In Australia

This totally cute vintage graphic cartoon panel is from the Wesco-Reltex Company. Vibrant color! From the 60's era. Look below at the before and after photos. What a super Retro pillow cushion this turned out to be. Thanks to a customer in Australia little smart ass found a new home. She used vintage retro barkcloth as trim on the front with wide black ric rac braid. Then black and white striped linen on the back. Thank you Susan for sharing. It's so vintage sweet.

Catch-up or Sleep?

CHACO AWAKE



CHACO ASLEEP



Thought I would catch-up to some work in the office this afternoon for a little. My assistant at first was willing to help me but, I thought wrong. I looked up from my laptop only to see his head down on the settee. Sounds of snoring fills the air. I guess that walk in the park this morning made him sleepy.

Still Working On My Office & Studio

Wow! I have been so crazy busy out of my mine! When will I catch-up? So far I love this Retro settee in this room. It sits close to a fireplace in the studio. Real cozy. Soon I'll paint the walls. Love the plumberry color above. I have one wall picked out for that color. The organic green I love too. It's slowly getting there. An eclectic mix of vintage. I'll post more photos soon.

1909 Short Funny British Film

This old British film cracks me up. Love the Victorian hats.

I Can't Believe....

.....It's a Girdle! The Playtex Corporation introduced this now famous variety of girdles in the 1960's. This new era girdle was made of Tweave fabric, a lightweight fabric made with Lycra. This 'I Can't Believe It's a Girdle' collection was super popular in the United States and Australia. I heard the Australians love them more. They did have quite a pretty design, comfortable and quite durable.

Actually, Playtex has been around since 1932. Founded by an inventor and industrialist. The original factory in New York produced ladies' swim caps and latex gloves. These days their operations are in Dover, Delaware.

The Mud Holes of Virginia

Just got back from NC. What a trip! We traveled some country routes to NC. Wow, what beautiful mountains and views. Everything is blooming and smells so fresh. Had a super time visiting with my dad and my family. Here's some photos of a country antique store in Virginia. Tons of advertising signs and unique birdhouses that are made out of all kind of salvage collectibles. The man that owns the place makes these charming birdhouses with his father. A hobby that they have been enjoying for years. He called his hometown the mud hole of Virginia and said that we would pass quite a few mud holes on the way down to NC. I thought that was a funny way to describe your hometown. Quite a charming place, with a farm of exotic birds and varieties of pigeons. Each little barn was filled with antiques. Had a chance to go to Selma, NC to the historic district. Lots of antique shops. Came home with some goodies. We even had a chance to go to some garage sales in NC. Scored a pair of retro lamps. Can't wait to unpack and see what I purchased.

1922 Royal Wedding Fashion

This short film shows how even a flu epidemic was no match for society ladies that were invited to the Royal Wedding. They made the best of the situation with chic morning dresses in place of the usual low-necked court gowns. Wow, how fashion has changed for the Royal Wedding attendees in our day.

TEA AT HOME WITH OLIVIA MARKET

Color Obsessed

I'm obsessed with vintage green for this season. I totally love it so much that I think I'm going to paint at least one wall or two in the boutique a bold funky green. Last week I even bought a long necklace with funky green large gumball size beads. I'm not sure why I'm lovin' it so much. Maybe, it reminds me of the unforgettable times of being a child of the 60's and 70's. Mod, fresh and hip comes to mind when I see the different shades of green. Although, it also makes me think of Spring, a time of rejuvenation and the awaking of foliage. Yet, it could be that I like the soothing character of green teas. Whatever reason I just want to slather everything with green. What's your favorite color this season?
