The Good Ol Days: Remember When

A cute article I found on

Countryliving.com

which was inpsired by

Lesley M.M. Blume's

book, Let's Bring Back ,

shows items we rarely

see or use anymore ...

Not that I want one,

but cuckoo clocks

seem to have

an appeal that surpasses

 time!

Am I cuckoo for

saying that?

Even as a kid I remember

thinking bookplates

made you feel so

educated and classy!

Especially when they

read: "From the Library of..."

Before all of the Maggie Moos

and candy mix ins,

remember when good

 ol Neopolitan ice cream

would do the trick?

Fountain pens.
When writing a letter

was an art.

I still think they

are elegant and

timeless.

Although it would be

awesome to receive

any type of letter in

my mailbox...

I'm not sure I'd want to break

out the wax anymore.

But what a way to seal

cherished thoughts and sentiments!

 

 

 

It wasn't really that long ago

we used a library card

catalog to look for

a book... and as Lesley points out,

 how many times did we find

the title of some OTHER fascinating

book that we weren't even looking for?

 

Lesley's book would

make a great coffee table

display or conversation

starter! And speaking of

conversations...

how about this one,

overheard in my own

living room recently:

 

Bebe: Mommy, why doesn't

anyone drink coffee around here?

Mommy: I don't know, we just

don't.

Bebe, pointing: But that's why it

is called a coffee table!!!!!

 

 

Hope you enjoyed this

little trip down

memory lane!

What are some other icons or items

you remember from

Way back when?
