That's followed by a wonderful vintage postcard featuring Sylvia Sidney and George Raft  in You and Me (Fritz Lang, 1938).

Next up, Blumchen's special this week is VINTAGE FRUITS & VEGETABLE MILLINERY TRIMS---these are original, old stock-heeirloom fruits, berries and vegetables from the past! Vintage production made in Europe from the 1930's to the 1960's. While supplies last; see more here.
