MORE FABULOUS VINTAGE WEBSITES, FINDS, ETC. FROM EVERYTHING CROTON

Sorry. Though we know it was in vogue at the time--1958 to be precise--we cannot get past the overwhelming "pink-ness" of this mid-century modern Sears STEEL kitchen!

And we're not sure about the mint green either!

It's followed by the American Toy Village, from the 1889/1890 Milton Bradley catalogue. 

Yes, THE Milton Bradley Company! LOVE the paddleboat--not to mention the prices!!! And finally--age unknown--courtesy of Joann--a vintage candy box, great graphics. Click on the photos and enjoy.

Updated--and re-sized seasonal building graphics http://bit.ly/1QaDhKE

Fell in love with the lines of this cardboard house model, the original of which was being built in Bolivia. Casa Norte http://bit.ly/1FH16GT

    Maria, the house we live in now, had a steel kitchen when we moved in, back in 1987, linoleum countertop and all. It was, technically, white, not pink, but it had become a big rusty mess. The dishwasher hadn't worked in decades, but you couldn't take it out without disassembling the entire row of counters. Too bad we don't have before and after photos of the kitchen redo, but in those days, film cost a lot to buy and develop, so you only used it for Christmas, Easter, and First-Day-of-School photos. The advertisement is a great reminder of the many ways people used to "modernize" old houses, making things worse in the long run. "Tanks" for the memories. :-)
