SOOC~






Slurping Life

I like to "think" that I have an eye towards the unique and different---
Maybe, that's because my family is ...left and right of almost normal!
anyway....
My grandparent's used to have a hotel and restaurant supply store--
here are some sample things from the store---
I guess you could call this folk art pictures?
or pics from the past? ---
I just like the retro colors and the shapes --

Awesome memorabilia! Those swizzle sticks are cool!! I love the ones with the figures on top. The key tabs are neat too...trying to remember the last time I stayed in a hotel/motel where you had an actual key :-)

The first picture reminded me of that childhood game of "pick up sticks" :) What a fun variety!

Cool collections especially with the family history!

My great grandparents owned a drygoods store in a tiny, tiny town. They had sold the store by the time I was around - but we kids loved to go into their basement and snoop through the remaining inventory items - always treasures to be found :0)
