The Catalogue...

I just took a trip down memory lane, through a catalog. Actually they called it a "catalogue." It's from The Vermont Country Store. This is a small catalog and if you're like me I always start at the back and work my way forward. This was the right thing to do because all the "Olden Days" stuff is in the back. I can remember setting and going through a catalog much like this one with my grandmother.


Gosh I hadn't thought of some of these things in a long time. If you're over the hill (Hill? What hill? I didn't see no stinkin' hill.) like me you may remember some of these things too. There was Ralston Hot Wheat Cereal. And Fizzies drink tablets. And do you remember the little magnetic trick dogs?

They even had some of the old "timey" clothes that my grandmother used to order. Wow, that was fun.

Did you know that when I was little they didn't have tooth paste? It was tooth powder that we sprinkled in our palm, wet the tooth brush and dipped it into the powder. We didn't have roll on or spray deodorant either. It came in a little jar with round wipes inside. And no TV either! Yep, no TV. Can you imagine being that old?

I know I don't usually post more than once a day but I just had to share that with you.
