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!

What's happening....in 1913

I got a cool magazine....it's only 102 years old.

I love the fashions that were in it!

Just gorgeous!

This was right after the Titanic sunk....and there is an article in it about what happened to the

Astor baby.  John Jacob Astor died on the Titanic, but his pregnant wife made it.

I love Titanic....so I was in heaven to see this magazine for only 3 bucks.

Can you imagine stuffing yourself in a corset everyday?

No thanks!

These ladies definitely came from high class...they probably didn't do anything but charity dinners.

The outfits are cool...but soooo glad things have changed.

It just show you how different the world was 100 years ago.

Women were just ornaments.

This is some weird paper project...creepy clown alert!!!

I know it is hard to see...but this is the advice section.....

Here they tell you how to get rid of cockroaches....

I have never seen one in Washington state....I did in Texas.....but I think cockroaches would laugh themselves to death with this tip!!

Crisco....my mom's favorite!

She made great chicken with it.

I love how this ad shows doughnuts....yum!

So now you know the latest.....from 1913 that is!

Come to Thrifty Thursday!  Come to the Pin me linky party!  Come to the Party Bunch!

Selina's cool top

Hi!

We went to Coeur d'Alene today...a small artsy city on the lake....close by Spokane.....but it is in Idaho.

There was all kinds of artsy stuff going on (Art in the Park)...it was packed with people.

My daughter Selina wore her new top she made last night....tons of silk rose petals....with a zipper in back.  She got lots of comments.  She just whips stuff up all the time!  People said she should have her own booth there.

Here is a sand castle made by an artist here....it was huge and super cool.

We had to fight the crowd....but it was fun.  Didn't want to take pics because I didn't want to offend vendors.  I know how that feels.

 

Go out of your way to show kindness and respect to others...especially those people that are ignored.

 

Puffed sleeves?

Wondering what to wear to the big New Year's Eve party tonight?  What about this fashion idea above.

Got puffed sleeves?

If you have read "Anne of Green Gables"...you know Anne wanted a pretty dress made with puffed sleeves.  Well she would have been soooo jealous of these puffed sleeves!

It looks a little crazy....I wonder what men thought of all this puffiness?

She would probably have to squeeze though doors!

 

I prefer being at home away from all the craziness with my family and some champagne.  I am sure we will play games....and make fun of Ryan Seacrest...he he he.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!!!!

 

 

Sizzlers for the 4th of July

I LOVE this TREASURY on Etsy!

It is so much fun and sooooo Patriotic....this is summer!

Finally...it is warm here in Eastern Washington...I was beginning to wonder if we would even have a summer.

My daughter and I are going on a nice walk and I may have to have a light Margarita later...What's your favorite summer drink?

Ice tea also sounds good!
