Vintage Bull Shirt

I want this 1940s Hand Painted Matador and Bull Theme Hot Pink Satin Shirt from butchwaxvintage:

It’s a killer smooth HOT PINK cotton satin late 1940’s button-up long sleeved shirt! Buttons up with 5 mother of pearl flat-head buttons. Cuffs have 2 of these same buttons on each. Wide 1940’s pointed collar with hand stitched detailing. Double chest patch pockets with hand stitched detailing on the flaps. On one of the pockets a bull fight ticket stub is hand painted- on it reads “PLAZA DE TOROS CUENCA SOMBRA” with a matador and bull in the middle of the ticket. On the back of the shirt a large scene of a matador and bull is hand painted.

When I Was A Bachelor

When I Was A Bachelor, an odd old nursery rhyme from the Little Verses For Very Little People in The Book of Knowledge, circa 1910.

When I was a bachelor I lived by myself,
And all the meat I got I put upon a shelf;
The rats and mice did lead me such a life
That I went to London to get myself a wife.

The streets were so broad and the lanes were so narrow,
I could not get my wife home without a wheel-barrow;
The wheel-barrow broke, my wife got a fall,
Down tumbled wheel-barrow, little wife, and all.

Nanette The Hungry Pelican

From Nanette The Hungry Pelican, by William Wise, illustrated by Winifred Lubell, published by Rand McNally, copyright 1969. (My copy a First Printing, February 1969 is now for sale.)

Mrs. Peabody Fitch
Was terribly rich,
And her house was as big as a mountain.

It had beautiful trees,
And a garden with bees,
And goldfish that swam in a fountain.

I guess we know where Nanette comes in…

Mom Said Not To Play With Your Food

But she didn’t say anything about your beverages, did she?

Forget about blowing bubbles in your chocolate milk — now you can play Space Invaders in your (already bubbled) soda pop! Make ice cube invaders with Fred and Friends Ice Invaders.

If you’re dehydrated, we highly recommend playing Tetris in your beverage — you know you’ll be playing for hours, so you won’t dehydrate. Make puzzle-shaped ice with this Iceblox Ice Cube Puzzle Tray.

Or follow the directions to make your own block silicone ice cube tray.
