The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is the lovely Veda Ann Borg for French's Bird Seed.

She has a zillion credits on IMBD, but the only ones I've seen are It's Love I'm After, and Mildred Pierce.

Every time I see these French's Bird Seed ads in old magazines, I think about this bird store that used to exist off of 5th St, in the Olney nabe of Philly.  In the early 1990s, I worked not far from 5th street, and every once in awhile I would take a trip to 5th St on my lunch hour.

Back in the day, this had been a lovely neighborhood, rather German-intensive, but by the early 1990s, it was slowly sliding into slum status.  But at late as the early 1990s there was still a German bookstore, and a German record store.  

Today, it basically has the slum trifecta: nail salons, day care centers, Chinese takeout.

The Tuesday Song of the Week

 I like to annoy my husband by singing the chorus in his face...

'Passionate Kisses' - Mary Chapin Carpenter

Tickets, please

 From the one and only time I saw History's Greatest Rock Band in concert:

This was when ELO was touring for the Time album.

I was very lucky because the mother of the friend I went with was the secretary for some local bigwig - either Ruly Carpenter or somebody like that - and he would lend the family his superbox (or whatever they called it then - i.e. premium seating) now and then. 

Pillow Talk

There are few things that can really tie a room together than the right throw pillows.

And we have the very rightest possible pillows.

Wanna see some?

adorable kittens print pillow, perfect for cat decor or shabby chic decor

=====================================================================

A horse print pillow perfect for the Mid-Century Modern decor.

======================================================================

Something for the romantic decor, shabby chic decor, cabin decor

=======================================================================

There are tons of decors that would benefit from having a manticore print pillow*

Manticores have the body of a lion, and the face of a human.  They're also supposed to have the tail of a scorpion, but this one apparently didn't get the message.  ALSO note that my shop has this same pillow in purple and green.  Which is nice.

=======================================================================

Floral print pillows also work with all kinds of decor.

========================================================================

Something lots of fun, and perfect for the country decor, shabby chic decor, or eclectic decor.

=======================================================================

Lastly, but miles from leastly, something for the classic, classy, or Italian renaissance decor.

==========================================================================

There are more than a THOUSAND throw pillows in my shop!!

Perfect affirmation song for all you ladies out there...

'The Girl's Attractive' - Diamond Nights

The Star Made Me Buy It

 99% of the star ads you see here come from magazines I own.  This one was posted somewhere on FB, but it's really kinda cool.

To wit...

Nick Nolte in a circa 1970 ad for H.I.S jeans

Today I found the mindblowing fact that he is currently 82 years old.
