VINTAGE HAIR NETS

I found this lot of vintage hair nets at an estate sale. All are still in the packages. Thought the graphics were kinda cool.

MODERN LIVING ROOM

Even though I have been in the antique business over 20 years, I wanted to show my modern living room. The last picture shows the work in progress. The finished pictures are before I added my art work and a few accessories. It's funny, but our house used to look like an antique store & one day I was just so sick of rearranging, dusting and never having the room look right. I couldn't believe my husband went along with the idea as he is a big time collector. After 20 years of living in the same house, I finally feel like this style fits this early 1970's home. I will later post some old photos of the past decor.

CANDLE IN THE WIND

Today it is so windy.........I have decided that I hate the wind & am glad I do not live in the "Windy City" of Chicago.

Speaking of wind, reminded me of my all time favorite music artist Elton John (CANDLE IN THE WIND). In the early 70's I would play his albums over & over. I would crank the volume all the way up & sing my heart out. After all these years, I can still remember all the lyrics. Unfortunately, my children will not let me sing in the car & especially in front of their friends.

When the "GOODBYE YELLOW BRICK ROAD" album came out (it was a double album, long anticipated), I didn't realize what some of the songs were about. For example "All The Girls Love Alice", "Social Disease", "Sweet Painted Lady" etc..... I found my dad reading the words one day & he informed me that this was unacceptable garbage and proceeded to forbid me from listening. Believe me, I continued to play these records just on a lower volume. How could he think these beautiful songs were so bad? I was just a young girl who loved the harmony & music.
