More Junktiquing...

The hubby and I had 2 hours to kill before going to a Pot Luck...so we decided to hit one of our favorite Junktique stores... 'Spokane Vintage Warehouse'...
I found some terrific goodies...

 yep, another vtg. mixer, this one is a 'Dormeyer'.   A ceramic bowling pin vase, 2 vtg deco pillow covers and 2 vtg. T.V. trays which I forget to take a photo of.

I also found the (on left) 1964 Sears catalog... while hubby found the (on rt)  1965Montgomery Wards catalog.. both are a treasure source of information.
I love a good day of Junktiquing!

Vtg. Catalogs

Oh My Stars! how lucky am I to not only find one,,, but two mid 1960's catalogs!
I found a 1964 Sears catalog and a 1965 Montgomery Wards catalog... SCORE!
What a great resource for graphics and styles of that era.

 1964 Sears  and 1965 Montgomery Wards catalogs, in great condition.

 I had no idea you could by 'Bark Cloth' and 'Sail Cloth' via the catalogs.

 I noticed in the 1964 catalog, most of the models were clad with matching shoes, handbag, gloves and hats... but in the 1965 there were less gloves in the photos... a sign of the times to come?

 Matching His and Her shirts... ya right, like my hubby would wear a matching shirt! lol!

Oh how I wish we could still purchase replaceable seat cushions for my chrome chairs.

 and last but not least,,, imagine my surprise and joy when I spotted this page....

yep! mine cost me $20 at an Antique shop in Santa Maria, Calif. back in 2oo5.. but it was only $14.50 brand new... in 1965... I actually use mine for storage of my tea bags, wine corks, and other goodies.
I have a feeling I will be spending a lot of time perusing through my New/Old catalogs....

Groovy Swimsuit Cover-up

Ok, I have a affliction for fun vintage mid~century modern everything... including clothing...
Needless to say, I have discovered a Koolieo shop in Spokane, called Spokane Vintage Warehouse..
I have purchased numerous vintage linens and Bark Cloth as well as clothing...
This is my most recent find...

This is a terry (towel) cloth swimsuit cover-up... with crazy fringe trim and a very bold print!
I even found a nose plug in the pocket... lol!
I laundered it and now it is with my other fun vintage clothing..

I also found this cool Bowling Shirt...I posted about it on my trailer blog.
It was a great day Junktiquing with my sweet hubby!

And,,,more blooms,,,

Isn't she beautiful?

 I just love looking at her,,, and remind myself to... always be patient...

I have to admit,,, she does make ma smile.  :>)

It's Blooming...

Yep, after 6 years of  dormancy, my Orchid is blooming. Yipppeeeee!

It may not seem like anything to most people, but to me... it means a lot!
Patience does reward us....
