The Week In Retro: May 11th-17th
Posted by Lidian on May 18, 2008
Jenn at the Thrift Shop Romantic presents some amazing Victorian/Edwardian photo postcards of actresses - and some cool biographical information, too. Do not miss this!
At Gigglesugar, you can check out this 1939 Marital Chart, and be glad that you weren’t married to someone like George W. Crane, Ph.D, M.D. Break out the ragged dresses and red nail polish, I say!
British chocolate fiends rejoice: the Marathon bar is back after 18 years!
For those of us who really, really liked the rotary dial: the iPhone people have responded! But can you use a pencil to help dial all those numbers?
Rochelle has found a truly frightening retro appetizer, the Masked Hot Dog. Don’t ask, just go have a look! (Insert Lone Ranger/ masked man joke here).
The Dirty Disher has some vintage gossip about Bette Davis and Joan Crawford, way more fun than Britney & Co.
Vallen Queen shows how you can make something brilliant - in this case, yellow bird sachets - from reworking a vintage find.
Carrying on the yellow theme, Amy has some wonderful old photos of yellow retro kitchens.

Hi Lidian, about the Avon perfume (watch) pendant. Yes
it is liquid perfume. Later this week probably on
Vintage Thursday I will be showing an Avon solid perfume
‘compact’, I’ll see if I can find more bling to show
in that genre.
