Mrs. Magnolia would love to be Don Drapers Secretary

Mrs. Magnolia sat in a park on a bench reading her favorite cookbook and trying to figure out what to cook her Husband for dinner.

 The book (The Family Circle Fish & Poultry Cookbook  1955)

 "Oh what's this Mrs. Magnolia found?" A Lobster dish!

 She then headed back for home and stopped to take some pictures in the trees..

Thank heavens for her Mastercraft purse

and Petticoat

"Would you like a coffee Mr. Draper?"

I have had this dress for awhile now and was waiting for the perfect time to wear it.

Since Mad Men season 5 premiered this week I thought it would be perfect.

BUT HEY!! I haven't watched it yet... "Why??" Because it's been so long since it was last on the Hubs and I decided to Re-watch it from Season 1. Right now I am in the middle of season 2...

SO NO SPOILERS *lol*

 Mrs. Magnolia loves to make faces. But when her husband is taking the photo and sees the face made on the still image in the camera he looked up over the camera to see what his wife is doing.

 Which made Mrs. Magnolia laugh!

Later in the evening when Mrs. Magnolia switches back to Vintage Coconut this photo was taken.

In which I was making YET ANOTHER FACE...

 Did you know at one time in my life when I was little and asked what I wanted to be when I grew up I used to say a Ventriloquist. *LMAO*

I swear up and down left and right I am not joking. Whenever I think about that now it gives me a good laugh. (I was not your average child.) And I bet my parents are glad that dream did not come true. (No offense to the Ventriloquists)

P.s. Some of you were wondering what type of Cat Eyes I am looking to get in the future.

"When I said in my last post about Cat eyes with gold and rhinestone accents."

These glasses are for sale here:

These are along the lines of what I have in mind. I love the look of them, but I am all about finding a bargain and that is something that needs to be waited out.

Plus I don't know how my Man will take the news... that I am obsessed with vintage glasses.

(I have been trying to keep it a secret.)

Loverly vintage curtains & train case

I bought these curtains for a total of $3.00 at a local thrift. They don't have a place yet I am planning on storing them until I move somewhere else.
I do imagine them to be 50's but I could be wrong I am surely no curtain expert.

So if you have an idea let me know.

I love the print and color on the curtains.. the backs are white with a rubberish feeling. The one set is long and is how it is supposed to be. The second set had been cut shorter. They did a good cutting job but never sewed up the bottom so at some point I will have to do that.



I picked up this Train case on Saturday. I spotted it up high amongst tons of other suitcases and bags. I asked my guy to get it down for me which cause a landslide of things to come down with it. *lol* The sticker on the case said $2.00 (There was no way I was leaving it for that price.) So my guy leaves me for a few min to go try on a pair of pants. I had a basket with clothes in it next to me in the skirt and sweater isle, the next thing I see is some lady holding my case!!! I am sort of a slightly shy person until I get to know people and I am also a rather *quiet* thrift shopper. But when I saw a lady with my case I thought (OH NO)

And just blurted out (EXCUSE me that's my stuff!!) Now I didn't say it mean or yell but I found it funny after it had been said. I was rather loud about it worried she would walk off with my find. She was very nice and said "Oh I am sorry" (And put it back down on top of my clothes basket). So when the Husband got back I told him to take it with him and not let it leave his site. Apparently a few min later in the book section a lady asked if the case was his.

He told her yes.. and then she asked (Can I look at it?) LOL

What on earth.. I think he was sort of shocked and said well I guess. So then this other random lady starts opening the case looking around and all and then says. "Oh it's in great shape thank you" and walks away.

Normally I like to keep all vintage intact and original. But this case has quite a few marks inside. I was thinking of re-doing the inside a bit. I do not wanna gut the thing I plan to keep most of it the way it is. But I thought it would be cute to get some leopard fabric and cover over the existing inside. I don't plan on ever getting rid of it so I mean the case is now stuck with me for life. I mars well make enjoyable to my eyes.

I will leave you with a silly picture I took yesterday when I was out on a bike ride. I always pass this one spot and think it would be a lovely place for a pic. So I put on my kitty hoodie and climbed in a tree when I got there.
