Mermaids in the 50's...or what our Mothers did while we went to school

Did your Mother bake with White star tuna while you were in school?
If so you probably ate Tuna-Tamale Pie

Or you had a white star Tuna Treasure treat...is it coming back to you now?

A Tuna Cheesewich would have been a cheap easy after school snack
I'm pretty sure about these.

Tuna Mexaroni...what wasn't added to tuna and noodles in those days.

Then to wash it down with a MMMMM Postum shake...

Don't be SKINNY...song book 1935

Should have been born in this era?
This page is from a 1935 song book of famous
writers and singers. Un-fashionable to be skinny? 
All you needed was ironized yeast tonic...better yet, imported from Europe. 
Watch flat chest develop, skinny limbs round out attractively and your
an entirely new person!
I know what your thinking when you look at her picture...
uhh huh
chubby is beautiful but please pull up those bra straps
better yet get a maiden form and fill it up!

The moment a dapper young man with curly black hair steps onto the stage, you'll kow that's
Harry Richman.
Putting on the ritz made him famous.
Story of his trials, fame & fortune inside.

Interesting
You CAN reduce your waist and hips 3 inches in 10 days.
With the perfolastic girdle and Brassiere
but is that wearing them day and night?

Delightful art work to match the songs...
Somebody stole my gal!

The Memphis Blues
color of this book is a beautifuly gold patena
no rips or tears
front cover missing, starts on page 3.
Book has 50 pages of stories of singers such as
Don Bestor song leader.
Big rock candy mountain song.
Slim pickins sisters 3
Annette Hanshaw cannot read a note of music.
plus more nostalgia.

Carry me back to old Virginny
Can we just fly there for a visit?

Sleep come on and take me, this is where we get counting sheep.
way back THEN?

And look...it's true, there really is a SAND MAN...
sleep tight and DON'T let the bed bugs bite ya.

See You Monday!

Have you any wool? Sweet Vintage Baby Blankies...

Infant's Crib Blankets in wool from JcPenneys
thinking the 50's and 60's here?
Neat big Penneys box
Horsies at play vintage new with tag
wool and satin
crib blanket
More little horsies at play
gently used wool blankie
these were the kind that little babies took into childhood with them
sucking their thumbs and rubbing the satin forever in their little precious hands
and when they left home the little raggie blankie
of course went with them!
My youngest son had the "bee blanket" it was the bedspread with bees.
We finally had to cut it into pieces as bedspreads are
kind of hard to keep dragging around
it made his life much easier with only a piece.

Baby soft white never used wool/satin
and gently used pinkie crib blankies.
Another popular store in Salt lake city, Utah now gone was Auerbach's
look what is wrapped in this vintage box...

Two little silkie rompers...how did our moms ever hold on to us in these?

And for the "mom's to be" the SUMMER ROSE blanket in wool/ satin edges
this one is new with tag
size 52 x 90
would fit double bed of course!

This little birdie says Just a bed of roses has some of the best vintage
baby blankies and vintage linens around for you to enjoy.
come and see
