I was hoping you'd see it lol

You would find one of these in avocado. lol lol
I have the same thing in tan on my bar cart.

I'm sure you mean it in the nicest way possible lol I can't help but be a hokey kinda guy.

Tom,
You have some (a lot) of the hokey-est stuff I've seen...

Love it!

I know what you're saying... Most of that is what I pass over when I go, but seeing it displayed and nicely shot makes me take a second look.

You definitely have a style going!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Thanks. I know it's all kinda cheesy, but I love it. I've got a sentimental streak a mile wide, and it makes me pick up the stuff, I think.

None of it is cheesy except the avocado stuff. I would buy the rest.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

I'm gonna start buying duplicates of all my Avocado kitchen accessories and send them your way. Next vacation I'll come out and help ya redecorate.

:eeek::eeek::eeek::eeek::eeek::eeek::eeek: I passed on a 55 buick for $2,500 this weekend because it was green.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

What the heck are you smokin'?! That 59 Ford I was looking at was Emerald Green and white, looked sharp.

Well it didn't have any brakes either.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Hope you got thick-soled shoes and can downshift.

I suppose you could still use the hand brake but I didn't give it a try. Now that I think about it, I should have tried to buy it.

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Offer 15 cash, he'd probably take it and run.

Not really. It was a four door hardtop and it ran a bit but the back bumper was a rust ornament.

I'd be willing to wager that much of what is commonly deemed kitsch today will be popping up in your trendier "vintage" shops before long, wearing price tags that would prompt choking responses from the likes of us.

What's that John Huston line in "Chinatown" about politicians, hookers and old buildings?

 

[wahine]

Congratulations on your finds, Tom! That ice crusher is cute and the radio wonderful and the phone... well, I guess I like pretty much everything you got there. Enjoy it!

 

[AtomicEraTom]

Oh, 4-door hardtops are my favorites! I'm not a big 2-door guy, not very practical.

Not really. It was a four door hardtop and it ran a bit but the back bumper was a rust ornament.

Wouldn't that be something?! It bums me out people think it's cheesy. I just call my style 'Mid-Century-Midwesterner' It's not pretentious, but it has a comfortable quality that I enjoy. I'll keep buying now before the price goes up! lol
