The last batch of vintage ads!

These are the last of those ads I got in June, I think. I gave the vast majority away to a girl from Freecycle before we left New Orleans, but I kept these to take pictures of. 

I love the girls face: Oh pig, you don't even KNOW!

Just because I like Ritz crackers

This because that would be an awesome doll for a kid, and because I think that should be Andrew's Halloween costume. LOLZ!

This is precious. I hope T-Rex doesn't bite off my future children's faces. He is so afraid of small children.  Dachshunds can live to be 15 or even 20, and he is only 5!

Wow, what an amazing "pocket camera"! Which I took a picture of using the miniature camera inside my phone. Ha. Also, the dude's hair!!!

For the original release of Cinderella, "a love story with music"

Oh, Pepsi! You so fun!

I really like these Lifesavers ads, in case you haven't noticed. 

Now, I cook with a ton of butter, but that seems a bit much!

Still working on my dress, which I am adding front darts at the waist to improve the fit and I need to re-hem it. It is the frumpiest bottom of my kneecap length right now. And then pockets, and I'm done! Woot!

Funny vintage magazine covers

I finally unpacked my desk stuff on Monday and I am only left with a few things on the front porch that need homes. I packed these to take pictures of them, but I think I will give them away in my next giveaway whenever I reach 300 followers. So here are some more of the vintage magazine covers, most are from the 1940s and 1950s.

Hot dog!

Ha!

Because women can't do math! 

from 1944

Girls can't throw! Silly!

This one could be interpreted in a few ways. What do you think the joke is?

Hopefully I will have pictures of my Krazy Klown dress tomorrow- depends on when Andrew gets home from work.

Fun 50s ads

Some of these are worth clicking on to look at in a bigger size. 

I love old, giant cars. I wish I had one. 

This one is hilarious- you can supposedly fit 52 items into this train case for a trip? 

I LOVE this one, I think I might frame it. 

Did you hear? Not one single case!

This ad is just encouraging you to buy beer, not a brand, just beer. Don't worry sir, I've got it covered!

A real Christmas Coke ad!

Just a little sexist ad about tools for your husband...

With a modern, blond wood table!

I am alive, just moving...

Hello! I dropped off the earth for a bit there. I have been working on boxing up all of our possessions. Andrew is already in Chicago working at his new job. I went up this past week and spent so much time exploring the city, and walking, and taking the el, and taking buses, and looking at at least 10 apartments in person and about ten billion more online. We finally found a beautiful place close to the the train for Andrew, but there are two other applicants  One wants to move in August 1st, so they're probably off the list, so let's hope the other people have terrible credit or something. We will both be soooo SAD if we don't get this place. Cross your fingers for us!

The house is a pit right now- there are boxes everywhere and all the dust is coming out from behind furniture as I pack. I got rid of my crappy dresser yesterday on craigslist's free section, and someone is coming to get Andrew's on Monday night. Not a whole lot of response for the ugly old sofa. Shocking, right?

I did sort through more of these 50s ads last night. These were the :fashion" one I liked. Forgive me if some are not 50s, not all of them are dated. I made my best guess.

I am starting to feel like I would rather wear one of these than do crunches/exercise. 

Slips

I thought this was hilarious. "I'll show you, rich girl!"

This dress is beautiful, but could imagine matching all those stripes? Intimidating

I like the pockets on this jacket, sorry its upside down.

More 50s ads later, and maybe I'll finish this white dress that has been malingering in my sewing room for about 2-3 weeks....

1940s Magazine Ads

Here are the magazine ads from the 1940s that I thought were either interesting or funny. The first three are wartime ads and the rest are just random.

 Girls, it's a man trap! lol

 Hmm, no nicotine without giving up smoking?

 50s swimwear!

 Here's your sexy ad for men

 I'm not sure how a whiskey can be cheerful...

 It's styling did stay smart. I bet if you were driving this around today, people would still think it looks good.

I made a red dress, and I will have picture of it today or tomorrow!
