Retro Chocolate Bars
I love Anne Taintor! She takes old vintage photos and cartoons and gives them funny comments. And now she has chocolate bars! They are great as fun gifts or just as a treat for yourself and you can save the box with the picture!
I purchased mine at World Market but you can also find them online.
Buy Vintage Art Prints
Plan 59 offers many vintage re-prints from the mid century. They're affordable and are a great way to decorate the home!
I am in love with this show! Its the stories of the beautiful women of PAN AM in that time period we all know and love. As well as the new hit series on ABC there was also a book written by one of these women back when PAN AM was still around. The book itself brought up a lot of controversy when it came out and a lot of mothers were locking their daughters away from the life of a PAM AM stewardess. The Book is called Coffee, Tea, or Me?
You can purchase the book on Amazon below:
Mad Men
If you love this Era as I do then you will LOVE this show! It is one of my favorites and it depicts the time perfectly. It is an A&E Series and all the current seasons are also available on Netflix Instant Play!
1950's Housewife Schedule
While digging around old 1950's Housekeeping magazines I came across this old housewife schedule for "Budgeting Your Time". I thought it was hilarious and had to post it. How would you like your entire week to go as follows:
A Special Area Just For Women
How To Help Your Husband Get Ahead
I purchased this book used from Amazon. It was written in 1953 and gives the perfect look into how a woman should help her husband. Reading this book definitely gave me a good laugh.
