Spotted in a local antique mall, vintage kitschy Kellogg’s cereal characters. Tony The Tiger, Snap, Crackle & Pop are made of wood, paper, and, erm, some fuzzy stuff I do not want anywhere near my food.

Modern Woman Mondays & Some Sort Of A Hat Collide
Hey, ladies, “buy by the kit and save” when you make your own hats! From Fox Millinery Supply Spring-Summer Catalog 1966.
And, “Fruit & Berry Hats To Copy” — because, unlike Carmen Miranda, you need “new ideas,” and “helpful hints” to make “‘THOSE’ Clever Small Hats.” (Also included, “Make An Easter & Summer Veil Hat.”) From the 1961 Louie Miller catalog.
