Hello friends,<br />
I know it has been ages since a post. Lots of crazy things have happened from surgery to Covid 19 quarantine!!<br />
We have been doing some projects in our time off. Our backyard had an old shed ,painted red, and rotting. The hubby (Len) decided to help me paint, replace wood walls, and insulate to make a "She Shed".<br />

Many of you know that Becky is married, has 2 kids and a full-time job now so she has moved on from the shop. She also literally moved to Wisconsin and I am so sad, I miss those grandkids. <br />
<br />
Life goes on and things change as does Etsy. Etsy has really stepped up their game in marketing, I have even seen commercials on TV! <br />
I hope all of you are well and like the look of the shop. I changed a few things but our goal is the same: To sell fabulous mid-century items to you and to preserve pieces of history in the process.<br />

I know it has been a bit of a long break since my last post. Well we have had another grandchild bless our lives. Salem Rosa was born in April of this year and we are thrilled.<br />

I am sure the fans of our Etsy shop are disappointed that we do not have any items listed. I have been very busy with grandkids and a new job. I work at a school as a para-professional for special education. I help teach 3-5 year old children in an early education program. I LOVE IT and I spend my days PLAYING with the kids. <br />

RetroBabs Vintage does have some ombre' painted furniture on our FaceBook page. Just instant message me if you are interested. You will find the FB button on the left column of this blog.<br />

These are actually a four piece bedroom set - a mens bureau, two matching ladies dressers and a lovely mirror. Some drawers are interchangeable. They were lovingly painted and hand-waxed for extra shine by my hubby.<br />
Feel free to leave a comment we would love to hear from you.<br />

(CURSIVE-You know the handwriting we learned in elementary school, the Palmer Method for penmanship. ) Kids are now allowed to print their homework and handwriting is a personal choice.<br />
(I think I am showing my age!!) <br />
He is a Graphic Designer who specializes in fonts and has created a few unique ones of his own so he must know what he is talking about. ( Check out Digital Kitchen, a graphic design firm in Chicago and the title font for the HBO series TRUE BLOOD, which is his work.)<br />
<br />
If this is truly the case then this typewriter will be fabulous for the collector.<br />
It is from the 1970's, an Escort 55 by Montgomery Ward, a vintage manual typewriter with cursive font.<br />

Cursive is not dead but it may be dying!! I hope not.<br />

<br />
We were scheduled to have a party today but a foot of snow fell in Chicago so people kept cancelling. I cannot blame my guests but what am I to do with 5 lbs of spicy wings and a 20 inch pizza?? Hubby and I ate a few pieces and we froze the rest. <br />
<br />
I thought you might like to see my latest project. My mother graciously gave me a chandelier that I believe came from my grandmother. It is an antique and has beautiful hanging crystals. I have always liked it and would never give it up because of the wonderful memories BUT....... it didn't really fit into my decor.<br />
<br />
So I asked my hubby if he had anything we could put "around" it. <br />
He has made other items for the yard as art- globes, obelisk type ornaments etc.<br />
Here is what he came up with once I described I wanted to do a Pottery Barn hack.<br />

He said the metal was from a snake (a long ,thin piece of metal you put down a drain to unplug a clog). I am not sure I needed to know that much info (YIKES- do I want to know where that thing has been??). But it does have a nice patina on the metal !!<br />
<br />
I slipped it around the chandelier and didn't even have to remove the chandelier from the ceiling. I am happy with it. Feel free to comment and tell me what you think.<br />
It is a bit wonky because it is hard to make a perfect circle/sphere. The sphere seems to project a funky pattern of shadows on the ceiling which is growing on me!<br />
<br />
I hope your favorite team wins and stay warm and safe out there.<br />

Wanted to start the year off right by giving you a little "share fest" of my personal collection. <br />
<br />
1. That groovy little metal tin is from the 1950's and I fell in love with it instantly. I couldn't let it sit in a garage and rust. Nuts and bolts nonsense!<br />
<br />
2. Hill-Rom desk is special because it has an aluminum body. Hill-Rom makes hospital furniture and hospital beds to this day. The Lurelle Guild chair is also aluminum and is the perfect place to sit while I type a note on my perfect, aqua blue, Royal manual typewriter.<br />
<br />
3. Temporama dishes are my number one LOVE, LOVE, LOVE. They date back to the 50's and they have survived over 60 plus years. I use them everyday and I own every piece of the set. How do you like the casserole chaffing dish? <br />
The aqua pottery tea set is Dryden.<br />
<br />
4. Check out the Trio of coffee carafes especially the one that has the Temporama design. That one is a bit hard to serve from as it has NO handle and one can burn ones hand while serving!! I wonder what they did in the 1950's?? Potholders? Maybe the handle is just missing- I cannot be sure. If anyone knows the answer please leave a comment.<br />
Help a vintage sister out!<br />
Pyrex and Anchor Hocking had the market in tempered glass covered.<br />
<br />
5. Rolling bar cart filled with my deceased father's chrome martini shaker and the aluminum set below was put out by Alcoa. I love serving ice cold Kool-Aid out of these in the hot summer months. Nothing tastes better.<br />
<br />
6. Yellow Blendo bowls with fancy gold rim edges. Sometimes I use this set as salad bowls or for punch bowl.<br />
<br />
I hope you have a wonderful 2015, Happy New Year from RetroBabs.<br />

The hubby never cares what I do so I decided to move all the furniture around. I have a rather long narrow room with many windows.<br />
I decide to create a mood: I was going for a 1950s Tiki vibe, Hawaiian tropic sort of motif. <br />

<b>1. Use your collections to freshen things up</b>.<br />
I collect vintage fabric called Bark cloth. You know you have seen this type of fabric. It is made out of natural fibers and dates from the 1950s. Your Grandmother's drapes were probably made out of this fabric. I particularly like Hawaiian themed motif. So here I framed my precious fabric inside embroidery hoops and wooden frames. This fabric usually has a scene on it or flowers are very common also.<br />

Here is a vintage small dresser/desk that was antiqued in the 1970s. I love it because it a pull out shelf on the top.(See the little knob in the middle) I use this as my vanity to put on my make-up. The chair was a find out of the garbage. It also is made out of solid walnut and I reupholstered it in more Bark cloth fabric. <br />
As I look at these photos I realize everything is green!! I guess that is one of my favorite colors!<br />

6. Make a destination sign to include all your guests. They travelled far to see you so include them in the festivities. Old fencing or barn wood make great planks of wood, easy to paint, be sure to include north, south, east or west and the mileage!<br />

7. Table settings set the mood so make sure you have a theme. Bec went with the gingham fabric for her "real simple" wedding. She hand sewed quilted table runners as well as 600 feet of gingham bunting! All the vintage plates were garden themed with flowers or plant motifs- not one matched the other. The linen napkins were all different colors and found at resale shops. Bec washed and ironed each one before tying with twine.<br />
Mason jars make excellent drinking glasses and beer steins!<br />

It is also helpful to have a big group of family and friends that help set up! Thanks to all (you know who you are) for making a wonderful dream come true.<br /><br />

We tend to pick up the old, discarded printer drawers. The ones we gravitate towards are usually in some back corner, covered in dust!<br />
The drawers were used by printers to hold the alphabet print blocks for newspapers in days gone by. The printer would have a bureau or dresser full of these drawers and they would slide out. He would have his pick the the blocks.<br />

So the hubby and I made one of these drawers into a coffee table. We had the legs and frame of an old mid-century modern table laying in the garage. My husband,Len, mounted the printer drawer by making a frame for on top of the legs. I found a piece of glass that would cover said drawer. Now it is a coffee table perfect to show off any collection you desire.<br />

Sometimes we decide to paint these drawers and turn them into curio cabinets. Here is one we painted in the Mondrian style. You know the famous artist that painted block style with vivid colors and black lines outlining the colors. His art was very popular in the 1960's.<br />

Now here is a small drawer I took and added in all my mini elephant collection. I used a piece of Plexi-glass and mounted it by putting four corner brackets to hold the glass. This worked well as the elephants tend to want to fall out. Plexi-glass is lighter than regular glass so the brackets hold it nicely.<br />

I like to reupholster single chairs if they have interesting backs. I think the back adds to the design. If you pick the right fabric it can enhance the over all look. Here is an example of picking the fabric for the style of chair.<span id="goog_2076432375"></span><br />

I think this chair being walnut and from the 40's would look silly covered in modern fabric, it just wouldn't fit the era of the chair. The dark colors and vivid green compliment the herringbone, wood diagonals on the back.<br />
<br />
I have another example to show you. This chair was a score, found in the garbage and is probably from the 1950's. It has the same style as- Navy chairs (ladder back, sturdy aluminum). <br />
The fabric I picked was actually from an old apron. I notice it has Miller High Life beer on it. I guess that was the beer of choice in the 50's.<br />
I choose this fabric because of the fifty's vibe, a picnic scene.<br />
When is the last time you saw ties being worn at a picnic?<br />

I don't know if you can tell from the photo but I saved the original vinyl piping and reused it. I think it was needed to make the look sleek and look like professional quality reupholstering. If I do say so myself!!<br />

There is something about blond wood furniture that screams FIFTY'S.<br />

The summer is on the way and soon we will be in the Art, Craft, Vintage show circuit. My favorite one is <a href="http://www.thevintagebazaar.com/">Vintage Bazaar</a> in Chicago. They have a great Pop Up Market.<br />
The outdoor market is a different feel, folks hawk their wares under the sun, people walk by, browse and chat. Hopefully BUY- but it is a cool experience just to be part of it. We meet so many interesting people. The true lovers of mid-century modern.<br />
<br />
Besides the vintage which I try to incorporate my art, my pottery and watercolors into the display, they seem to draw interest.<br />

I have been having spring fever and the itch to plant and get things growing. I started the plants out in the greenhouse today. I am getting ready to garden.<br />
<br />
This is a favorite project of mine- a garden window. I asked the hubby if he had a decent piece of glass for a shelf. He asked "Why, what for......?"<br />

He is always leery of my projects. I said I wanted a shelf of glass over my kitchen sink. I wanted him to attach it to the two cabinets that flanked the sink. He rolled his eyes and informed me that it must be TEMPERED glass to hold the weight. Details, details......... I just wanted a simple shelf.<br />
<br />
I think it turned out pretty well, if seems to float in space. It's a great place for my orchids. Now if they would just start blooming!!!!<br />

I like to mix my plants in with my mid-century items about the house. My favorite pottery is Haeger, Dryden, Hull, Mc Coy and Pigeon Forge. The Haeger pots seem the most suited to rock gardens and succulents.<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

I received 2 small dressers that fit together to form one long, ladies bureau/credenza and a mirror that fits between them. One high boy dresser for a man/boy. <br />
These were probably a set made from mahogany wood, circa 1940's or 1950's. You know the type your mother or grandmother had for their entire married life!<br />
Well with the help of my husband we were able to transform these three lovely dressers into refurbished things of beauty. <br />
<br />
Lets look at the BEFORE pics.<br />

They were in nice shape just needed a bit of glue on a veneer piece. These pieces are so sturdy and have a lovely curved front which I am not sure translates in these photos.<br />
Now for the big reveal. The AFTER photos. I suggested to my husband he make them ombre'- you know that gradual color change. We picked a nice minty green, teal, aqua type color. He got a little creative with this suggestion but I think it still looks good.<br />

I'm sure you are thinking that we have a lot of junk in our basement!<br />
I agree, but that is the reality of doing a project in winter, in CHICAGO. You work in your basement because your garage is TOO COLD.<br />
<br />
Because my hubby worked so hard on them I wanted him to describe the process he used to restore them. <br />

<b><i>(This is a freshly refinished set of 3 vintage dressers and a large
mirror. The original set is from the 40's or early 50's and the quality
is good and solid. (It was dark mahogany before) It could probably store
the clothes for 3 children. <br />
Each piece was primed and finish coated twice with quality <a href="http://www.ppgpittsburghpaints.com/">Pittsburgh paint</a>. There is a finish coat of wax as a final protection and seal. <br />
The drawers work well and there are plenty of them. The large dresser
has 7. This piece is 53 3/4" tall, 37" wide and 20"deep. The front is
curved, adding extra interest and appeal.<br />
The 2 smaller dressers also have curved fronts matching the large piece.
They are both 34 1/4" high, 30" wide, and 19" deep and have 4 drawers.<br />
The hardware is original and painted in a vintage looking silver.<br />
The mirror is large at 48" wide and 32"high.<br />
Each dresser is painted in a four color scheme that is esthetic and easy
on the eyes. Some of the drawers can be switched around to change up
the scheme. I noticed the four colors don't show well in my photos. Much
more distinctive in person and better light. (Pictures taken in my
basement at night)</i>
</b><i><b><br />
Based on the age and how they turned out, I'd rate the dressers a 95 out
of 100. The mirror about 80 because the silvering has some streaks. No
cracks or breakage.)</b></i><br />

I wanted to give a SHOUT OUT to two of my wonderful, Etsy friends and fellow vintage artists. <br />
The first is, Cindy, from <a href="http://retrochalet.blogspot.com/">RetroChalet</a>, she is a vintage shop owner and specializes in <a href="http://www.melmaccentral.com/">Melmac</a> (plastic) dishes. She has an interesting vintage <a href="http://vintagechalet.blogspot.com/">blog</a> and is an established expert on Russell Wright dinnerware. <br />
(Read the story on how she inherited a collection of such.)<br />
<br />
I myself have a page on <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/retrobabs/">Pinterest</a> and her <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/143622675586128948/">Melmac dishes</a> receives the most hits out of anything on my page! <br />
The beautiful, creamy, pastel colors of that indistructable plasticware which we all used and admired circa 1950's-60's draws folks in and catches the eye. <br />
That's it - EYE CANDY- and a must have for any retro kitchen!<br />
I wondered if you folks know that Cindy is also an artist and creates her art by assembling pieces of toys, dolls, eclectic mix of vintage etc. into <a href="http://www.iramency.com/">abstract sculptures</a>.<br />
Cindy's art is under the anagram/pen name,<br />
Ira Mency. FABULOUS!!! Oh I forgot-Ira Mency is also an author.<br />
Check out <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Prism-Book-Ira-Mency/dp/1441508848/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392604193&sr=8-1&keywords=Ira+Mency">Amazon</a>. <br />

My second Etsy friend - Martha from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/opendoorstudio">Open Door Studio</a>. As an Etsy shop owner, Martha, has coined the term "warehouse chic", she has appeared in magazines, specializes in industrial motif, prop rental including vintage displays.<br />
<br />
She is also an artist and paints her lovely artwork in the great outdoors on location as she travels the country in her retro-camper/travel trailer.<br />
You can read about her on her <a href="http://www.opendoorstudio.blogspot.com/">blog</a> or check Martha out as the leader of the Etsy sellers team- <a href="http://vintageetsysociety.blogspot.com/">VESTIES</a>.<br />
<br />
As artists we need to give kuddos to our fellow artists, build them up and shout their praises!<br />
Love you two ladies!! Keep creating and know that I appreciate your ART.<br />
<br />
Blessings Babs <br />

I just thought I would share this fabulous quilt that Becky made for her son, Wynn. She handmade this quilt that consists of 4800 individual pieces. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglHzAA5cbMiZeqVBTOUYquJ5hQOYa7WHn555kFqp4Z8QjUZjvl3S0JrchWiJ_mR048QfGWlMQoK6xN1X8q5_qu45GgqJZLDI7tCAEWFWRtTEpDut4bbcBTMu140G-GN9zA9CRr5cqeBbY/s1600/download.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglHzAA5cbMiZeqVBTOUYquJ5hQOYa7WHn555kFqp4Z8QjUZjvl3S0JrchWiJ_mR048QfGWlMQoK6xN1X8q5_qu45GgqJZLDI7tCAEWFWRtTEpDut4bbcBTMu140G-GN9zA9CRr5cqeBbY/s320/download.jpg" /></a><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

This is a full size quilt not just a lap quilt for a baby. She wanted it to be a cherished keepsake. I think it will be a family heirloom!!
I also made a quilt for myself out of my vintage fabrics. This is a photo of the quilt on the back of the couch.
<i>( I know it's hard to focus on the quilt with the two bathtime buddies on my lap. The big boy is Wynn and the other child is our new granddaughter, Noa!)
</i>
I did buy a few retro looking fabrics to add to the color scheme I wanted. I had a lot of barkcloth, earth tones and psychedelic fabric in my collection.

Here is a Swirl mixing bowl size large and medium. They stack together. A Charm vegetable bowl and a saucer-plate.
Beautiful Fire King ,Anchor Hocking collection. Check out RetroBabs on Etsy.
Martha Stewart is a big collector of Jadeite. I'm just saying there is a trend happening in vintage housewares. Retro, kitsch from the 1950's is the newest craze.
Bec and I wish you and yours a very happy and blessed Thanksgiving. We are so thankful for you readers and for our growing family.

Jadite or Jadeite is that lovely, creamy, mint green colored glass from the 1940's and 50's. This jar originally held salted fish/sardines.<br />
We had another piece of Jadite in the shop. It was in the Charm pattern and was originally used in diners and truck stops of the 1950's. It could be identified by its fabulous ridges on the back. The glass was sturdy and very durable and has been a new craze ever since Martha Stewart featured her personal collection in her magazine!<br />

We still have one little plate/ saucer left. It is the same Charm pattern only this one is ROUND. Send us a comment or Etsy convo if you wish to see it.<br />
<br />
I noticed that around the same era other glass manufactures tried their hand at that Jadite green color but missed the mark.<br />
Here is a lime green bowl by Pyrex and I bet you agree with me. Not that MINTY green.<br />

<a href="http://www.thevintagebazaar.com/">The Vintage Bazaar</a> sale and pop up Flea Market in June was quite an experience. I had never participated in a trade show with so many fabulous vendors. Despite the heat, the Aragon Ballroom venue was a good choice, although I was envious of the inside booths and their air conditioning! I wanted to pass on these photos that my partner, Delia, from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AmeliaBedeliaVintage">AmeliaBedelia </a>sent to me.<br />

The hubby and I collaborated on this one. I found the mid-century modern legs and the printer tray/drawer and he had the tempered glass. We REMIXED this coffee table and the "Hipsters"on Lawrence Ave were fawning over it. <br />
A nice man named Christopher swooped down and grabbed it up before anyone else could! He told me to check out his <a href="http://www.thisiscolossal.com/what-is-this-madness/">Colossal</a> blog on Google. He writes about art and design and it has become my new favorite. <br />
Thanks Christopher, for appreciating our recycled , re-purposed items.<br />
I hope you enjoy it!<br />

Shared my booth with Delia from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AmeliaBedeliaVintage">AmeliaBedelia</a> on Etsy. Fun, vintage clothes in yummy, pastel colors. Beautiful collection Delia!<br />
<br />
I would like to send a shout out to Katherine from the Bazaar. I thought it was a great event and venue, although I was a little crabby in the heat. She will know of which I speak!<br />
My apologies Katherine.<br />
<br />
Have a great day- see you on Etsy.<br />
<br />
My sincere thanks to my BFF, Pam.<br />

I know it has been a bit since I blogged. <br />
Well- Bec and I will be at this flea market/ Bazaar in June. If you live in Chicago stop by our booth! So far we are just doing the June 10th date but may do more. We will be sharing a booth with Delia from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/AmeliaBedeliaVintage">AmeliaBedelia</a> on Etsy. She sells vintage clothing and we figured we would have a great mix of items with my typewriters and cameras to her dresses and accessories.<br />

<br />
Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day weekend- it was blistering HOT in Chi -town!! Keep your fingers crossed for good weather on the 10th.<br />
