the Tuesday Song of the Week

I actually once had a dream that I was singing this song:

'I'm Beginning to See the Light' - Frank Sinatra

SAVE MONEY...

on cat beds!!!

For unlimited time only, your local supermarket is giving away free cat beds -- exactly the same as what you see above -- with any purchase.

As you can see, Ivy Spivington is loving hers!!

the Tuesday Song of the Week

I keep thinking I posted this already, but my list (yep, I keep a list) doesn't show it.

So, enjoy some Yiddish swing.

'Abi Gezunt' - the Barry Sisters

latest advertising ashtrays in my collection

Alas, I don't have all the latest ashtrays to show you, mainly because the photo I took of one just looks awful.  That one will appear here eventually.

But for now...

Camelback in the Poconos

Hit the slopes, then have a smoke. 

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

Eden Roc Hotel - Miami Beach, FL

 Whenever I think of retro Miami Beach, I think of that rich jerk Keenan Wynn played in A Hole in the Head.
============================================================

Harbor Light Restaurant - San Pedro, CA

Still in business! 

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

The Hotel Times Square - New York, NY

The above is puzzling.  There's a 'Times Square Hotel' but I don't know if this is that or that is this.  Maybe you do. 

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

John G. Stumpf, Inc. Fuel Oil

 Wasn't it easier to remember phone numbers back in the day, when the first two numbers stood for a word?  The first two numbers of my current phone number (land line, thank you very much) used to stand for Mayfair.

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

Salvatore's Italian Restaurant

Dunno where this is from.  There's a bunch of Salvatore's Italian Whatsis on the 'net.

it's compact

A hand-painted vintage compact!
or maybe antique compact!!

 

Maaavelous condition for its age, and oozing with old-time appeal.  


Update June 29, 2015: the above has sold.  I'm sorry you missed out.

the Tuesday Song of the Week

This is sooooooooo awesome, and I bet you never heard it before:

'Red Shoes' - Chris Rea
