One hundred years ago....

I have this cool magazine....

from May 1916!!

One hundred years ago....let's just say...the world was so different then. 

Union suits....never heard that term before...lovely ad however. 

Gold medal...it is still around...the company must have always had a quality product. 

My mom loved Crisco...she made some awesome food with it.

I don't buy it...but I know it is still in the tub. 

Great article about liquor!   

If that doesn't scare you away, then nothing will..lol. 

Sweet poem! 

Funny poem...strange! 

Some of the ads were in bright color...perfect for framing. 

This tells you how to have a career with a camera...pretty cool! 

There are lots of recipes...like this....notice the sandwich fillings like tongue. 

I can't believe you would put tongue in a sandwich. 

Nothing cozier than a corset when you are pregnant. 

Heinz....love their Ketchup. 

LOVE COKE!

I could use one right now. 

OK, you could get a blouse for a dollar! 

A brand new car for $695!

I know they made like 20 cents on hour or something...but wouldn't it be great to go back in time and buy a few of these. 

Butterick!

So cool! 

I don't need to say anything about this ad ...do I?

Everyone had corns back then because they shoved their feet in tiny hard leather shoes...that probably came from a relatives hand me down.

Cute...a catnip mouse...a classic! 

Lets use this kids picture...even though his eyes are closed...lol.

I think the teeth are painted white! 

Fashion!!

So elaborate and fancy.

I can barely wear a dress every once in a blue moon. 

Life for women sure was different...all you had to do was be pretty (if you were rich)...if you were not rich...life was hard work! 

I see the dress hem in high enough to see the shoes at this point.

Everything is so frilly and Lacy!

Here is a simpler frock!

These hats are pretty cool!

The last hat I wore was a pink air force baseball hat.

Cleaning is never "Play".  

But it is always necessary.

Aren't you glad you are a 2016 person!

Come to the Home matters linky party!     Come to the Pin me linky party!

Spring birds

Have you noticed all the birds chirping with happiness....they have cheered me up....just hearing them tweet.

Here is a lovely design of birds....they would look fabulous stitched up and framed.

All in blue floss!

----------------------------

I also wanted to share with you this coke ad in an old mag I was talking about the other day.

It's the six bottle carton.

This little girl is thrilled to get this coke...it is the depression after all....so it was probably like gold!

I love the hat, gloves, and tiny purse too.

----------------------------------------------------

Happy Friday to you!

Enjoy your weekend!

Come to the pin me linky party and the Party bunch

Times have changed!!

I got a couple old magazines from the early 60's for a buck each at an antique show ....SCORE!

They are soooo much fun to look at......boy have things changed!  I am from the late 60's....born after these magazines...so it is amazing to me.

This is a Breck girl....wouldn't it be funny to make up your hair like this?   lol

This is super hold hair spray...remember when it was a stinky aerosol can that practically made you high?

I just bought some life cereal....which is still really good.  This is a fun ad.

Save 7 whole cents on a package....WOW!

Here is the very valuable coupon....I would love to try to use it....he he he

Ok...the food ads are usually pretty sick!  I love canned cranberry sauce....but this is funny because of the presentation.

Here we have an ad for pots....because we women are really interested in pots.

The other page is American Touristor luggage...so snazzy.

Kraft Mac and Cheese...looks good...except the background looks gloomy...I am always happy when having mac and cheese....and I never light a blue candle.

Coke always has great Ads.....makes ya want one doesn't it!

Yikes!!!!  Just make a vat of Spanish type rice and throw some hotdogs on top....presto...your dinner is done!  Don't forget that garnish on top!

This is a fashion spread.....the hair cracks me up....I told my daughter I was going to do that to her hair and she started running.

This dress is kind of cool....reminds me of what a gal would wear....waiting for Barnabas Collins to appear.

I don't even know how they got their hair like that.....

I have never seen Campbell soups look so strange....these are Men's favorites apparently.  These food ads don't tempt me.

Good old Jerry Lewis....he is winking at you!

Look at the camera.....ha ha ha

Times have changed!!!

I remember my grandma constantly buying flash cubes....things are so much easier now.

Here is your dinner for tonight!

Cook up a roast with assorted veggies....and then when no one is looking.....throw in the hunts tomato sauce........and it is ruined!!!   lol.

These magazines are totally worth every penny!
