I just realized tonight that I've been a terrible hostess. I've asked you (in my blog header) to "grab yourself a soft drink" and travel back in time with me - but I hadn't put any refreshments in the ice box for you to grab!
Well, I've remedied that. If you stop by tonight, I promise that I'll have an ice box full of Coca-Cola waiting for you. Actually, some of these bottles have been on ice since 1933, almost 80 years - so they should be plenty cold by now. I hope it was worth the wait!

Please feel free to stop over any time you need "a wave of wholesome buoyancy to restore you to normal."
I promise to have more Coca-Cola waiting. Or maybe...a Sip of Sarsaparilla.

Oh my goodness, that last advert looks scary! I can't imagine feeling relaxed with all of those wires crimped to my hair. LOL. Lovely adverts though, it does make me thirsty.
ReplyDeleteThe last one is my favorite, actually - probably because it is so scary. She looks like an alien, don't you think?
ReplyDeleteTrips to the beauty parlor must have really been something back in the 30's!
You have a great blog here. As you know, I love illustrations. i adore that perfume box (must go check EBay) and love the ribbon book pictures. You are a great eye...lots of style! I have you marked so I will return.

Suz,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
I'll be auctioning off the perfume box on eBay soon. I needed to enjoy it myself a little longer before I sell it!
