Bertha & Tina Postcard


A cute postcard, unless you find out the truth -- which is more than you likely wanted to know about Bertha & Tina.

From my travel and tourism collection.

Happy Birthday From All The Animals In The Zoo

Vintage "Party Papers by Pakay" napkins by Nashua Corporation, Nashua, N.H.; a 25-pack of these babies once sold for 30 cents. I have many of them, but not all twentyfive. Too cute, so I had to share. I'm sure it's someone's birthday.

Of Pink Elephants That Roll Through Your Life

I found this pink elephant at a thrift store this weekend -- and it reminded me of the real pink elephants in collecting.


And yes, Jolly Jumbo (circa 1961) is for sale. (The glass "marble" wheels aren't the only way this pink elephant is movin' on through...) But you don't have to buy mine; someone else has one like it listed on eBay. Maybe you'll score.

Craft-Scan Friday: Vintage One Evening Wood Projects

From a 1953 Deltagram, two projects you can make in one evening.



I love the shelf; but I believe that's not only because I own kitschy knick-knacks, but because of the kitschy knick-knacks shown in the photo.

The elephant ring toss is cute, so cute it "will amuse the older folks as well as the children." The suggested rings to toss are fruit jar rings, so while Mom may be a bit perturbed to find she's short a few rings at canning time (and who's mom isn't?) at least the walls won't be marked.
