Powder and Plasters!

Thought you might like to see some of these adverts from 1953.


Miracles can happen - with Tokalon powder!


This one has to be my favourite - Prestoband!  Know what I'd do if hubby came home with a gift of plasters ….. !!!!!!!



Kittenish cats love Tibs!


Playing darts with indegestion - love that smile!
Hope these made you smile.

Love, Liz

Keep cats Kittenish! I really like that statement! ...your tea pot toddy or what ever they call it these days is beautiful too! Something like that just makes the tea pot really stand out in delight!

Classic ads. I want to look in love! I want m husband to love me so much, he doesn't trust me with housekeeping money and doles out bandaids only when he thinks I have worked hard enough!

'Mousse of Cream' in the Tokalon? Whatever next? I bet the copywriter thought that made it sound extra-Continental, don't you?!

How cute this are...lots of fun!

It was so nice to have you come and visit me all the way from Scotland. My Grandfather emigrated from Edinbough many, many, years ago to teach americans how to play golf...so I feel a very strong tie.

I love the crocheted tea cozy in your header...I like to crochet and love tea, I am going to look for a pattern.(-:
