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!

Days of Heaven- a movie fav

One of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen is:

Days of heaven.

Yes...it's Richard Gere...back in the late 70's.

When you watch this.....your really appreciate living now... life is much more fair now.  People really had to work hard...just to survive!  But the movie shows how lovely life is...those simple moments that we overlook.

It features lovely music...Listen to the opening song

The cinema photography won an Oscar....they soooo deserved it!

Love the farm house....yes I will take that!  It needs a tree however!

Love the little girl in this...she is the narrator!

I won't tell you what happens....but it involves love, what is right, and the hard life of 1916.

I just thought I would share this with you...I will share more movie favs from time to time!  In the past I have talked about "Midnight in Paris" and "Picnic".  I love all kinds of movies!

Partying too early?

Cute huh!

I bought a cool photo album in an antique store last week and most of the pics are super old...towards the back were these party pics.  I think they are from the 40's or 50's.  All of the pics were men in drag....I laughed so hard....these guys are ugly.

These guys are partying way too early for New Years!

They probably all laughed all night long! Dig the lady in the satin dress.

This one is working the mop wig and cigarette.

I saved my favorite for last!!!

I would have just fallen off my chair!!!

I think these boys were having too much fun!

Fascinators- party hats

The other day I made a hat to wear to the farm chicks show.....it was so much fun that I whipped up some other hats too!

This Party hat fascinator is on my ETSY.  It is "Smarty Pants"....

My daughter was trying to look like a smarty pants.....lol.

 

Oh boy do I love Dark Shadows......loved the new movie and loved the old series.

 

The dark shadow fascinator is also on my Etsy shop

I love Halloween....I know it is early...but I can't help it!

The Halloween Hag is here.  I will have others listed later....I had to duke it out with my computer today.....I guess it is time for a new one.  Yikes!

Come to the party...at Whipperberry friday flair

3 Witch Mannequins- SPoOky!

I whipped up some Witch Mannequins to sell....I decided to do this because so many people have asked if I might make some up....so this is a rare thing since I am so busy.  It was alot of fun!

The WITCH above is a pin keep is primitive and spooky, made to look like a vintage Witch mannequin dress form and it keeps all your pins. Her body is cream with black halloween symbols. This witch is grungy with a grubby hat and stand. The hat has sweet annie and cheesecloth hat band. On the mannequin is a witchy image in a rusty bottlecap. She also has a black cat pin and an "Halloween hag! " banner pin. On her shoulders is a cheeselcoth shawl. She has a ribbon and paper skirt with glitter stars. On her waist is an old rusty bell and safety pin. She comes with an awesome broom too. So cool!!!! It measures: 21 3/4" tall x 5" wide.

Here I created an Orange witch....available HERE.
 IT IS SOLD.
I also have the pattern for the Witch mannequin on my Etsy site.  It is a fun project.....and everytime I have made any ...they sell fast.

This Witchy mannequin is on MY ETSY.    I love the rusty bottle cap brooch on her shawl.  More pictures are on my etsy pages.

Come join the party....at Whipperberry friday flair!!!

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!
