A Mix of Miscellany from the Past

 

A batch of funky vintage hats – mens and ladies.

 

A couple of hula dancers – these knick-knacks were really popular during the 1950s and seem to be making a come-back.  This is the first time I’ve seen a male hula dancer, though.

 

Today’s kids learn to play digital games, but back when I was a kid, board games were all the rage, and they too appear to be making a come-back. This game (snakes and ladders) has been around from the victorian times, but young children still enjoy it.

 

This car probably needs no introduction – The General Lee from the Dukes of Hazzard.

 

 

A vintage pottery jug – while it resembles the “little brown jug” , this one is quite large.  So large you certainly wouldn’t want to heft this on your shoulder to drink from.

 

Give them an inch and they’ll take a foot…or a bunch of feet. Here’s a mix of measuring tapes and rulers from a variety of time periods – from metal tape mesures, to plastic to a wooden yard stick.

“Food” for Thought

Please remember to follow the terms of use.

A common spread of summer fare: coldcuts, ham, cheese, biscuits, bread, egg salad, tuna, pickles, cantaloupe, watermelon, grapes, carrots – healthy foods for a quick summer meal.

Yummy pumpkin pie – good for anytime of the year, but a clear reminder of Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Goodness from the garden – carrots, onion, potato and tomato

Sweet and fresh – fruit is the healthy desert. Banana, pear, apple, grapes and melon varieties.

Snack time foods – bits of cereal and pretzels: spicy and salty.

The humble potato – healthy, nutritious and a true diet staple the world over.

Breakfast, the most important meal of the day? In some cases, perhaps also the most harmful: fried bacon, french toast, breakfast home fries, and sweet pastries.

Cucumbers: garden fresh and refreshing.

Compiled Bills

Compiled paper bills – small size (roughly 800 pixels) and low resolution make this  not suitable for print; the bills themselves have also been edited in photoshop to make them unuseable for reproduction.
