Today's star is the lovely Ella Raines, for Woodbury Cold Cream...
That's a movie that's pretty much forgotten, but it's VERY much worth seeing, if you like George Sanders, who's not playing the type he's known for, i.e. acerbic and dastardly. Here he's a put-upon shlub with two grasping sisters who insist on running - and ruining - his life.
The Full-Service Bohemian is at work even on Christmas.
Which brings us to this sweet thing a lady gave me at work today. (The Full-Service Bohemian has a part-time gig outside of being The Full-Service Bohemian.)
I asked her where she got it, and she told me that she made it, and that she has a group of women who get together to make items like this, just for fun and gifts and such.
Note that it's even cuter in person.
======================================================================
Now onto the antiques and untiques...

Victorian salvage wooden carved lion head, which began life probably on a piece of furniture.
The lion would enjoy sitting on your desk. Or somewhere on your bookcase.
======================================================================
Until I found this tin, I had never heard of Boscul, which is odd, because I thought I new ALL the old coffee brands, i.e. Hills Brothers, Chase & Sanborn, Yuban, etc. etc. etc.
=====================================================================

Like the above.

The Merry Mousewife is in the house!
When you pull the string that makes her walk, her broom will move side to side. Just like Mom does it!

Today's star is the guy who won baseball Rookie of the Year in 1952.
It's kinda odd that in the main pic he's clean shaven, but in the other pic he has a mustache.
And the other other pic is a guy with a mustache and a totally different hair style.
Some REALLY neato stuff today,
and each and every item would make a marvelous gift for one of your nears and dears.
Or just for yourself.

Or, at least some times.- I don't think it's a great idea to bring it to work. However, I've had a couple of nightmare jobs, where a flask full of hooch would have gone a long way re: helping me to get through the day. .
This would also be VERY useful in helping get through those times you think you're really gonna need it, like when you're required to show up at the home of your crazy uncle, or the home of MAGA in-laws, etc. etc. etc.

'Choice Evaporated Apples - All the properties of the Apple except the water.'
I had to look up 'evaporated apples,' because that's a term I've never heard.
Turns out it's synonymous with apple chips.
Anyhoo, a VERY neato throw pillow for the country decor, farm decor and;o

There are few minor things that soak up memories more than a great apron.
This one, due to its color, will also readily hide spilt wine, spilt pasta, spilt gravy, etc. etc. etc., without it barely showing!

(I think of them as fat cars. Because they look fat.)
When I was a kid, two of my friends' dads had fat cars. Which is kinda odd, because by that time, fat cars were really done.
