Tattoo your lips! 1938

Vintage make-up ad, 1938

This lovely lipstick advertisment  for Tattoo, a new line packaged in a stunning tube engraved with an art deco hula girl. "And how his heart will pound," when he comes home from work and gets a peek at your lips and you tell him the brand is "tattoo."

Its the lastest fad in Hollywood!!!

A stitch in time

"Look hun, what do you think? I made it out of the drapes." Her fabric choice might not be my cup of tea, but that sewing machine sure sets my heart a pitter pattering.

Nothing better to brighten up those dark and gloomy winter days then a cheery colored vintage sewing machine to team up with. It's safe to say we all can lose inspiration and patience at times but with a machine as cute as one of these, I dont think I could ever get discouraged again!

Happy Independence Day everyone!

I hope all of you guys have a wonderful and safe 4th of July!

Our 1948 home

Sorry for the cruddy google photo this is all I have for now. I promise the moment we get to our new place I will be taking tons of photos to share with you guys. This is going to be our new home come July 1 or whenever we make it out to San Antonio, Texas. We are leaving Long Beach, California Monday June 29th and hoping to arrive as quick as possible. Though we will be making plenty of stops for are 3 dogs, Ava are pit bull puppy she is about 15 weeks, Betty are black lab pit mix and Sammy are buff little Chihuahua. I am so excited about this new adventure but a bit nervous about the move half way across the United States. Almost every moment of my life has been spent in Long Beach. I have lived here my whole life (20 years) and I really do not know anything else. I will deeply miss my friends, family and the beach but I am so excited to see what San Antonio has to offer.

The stats on the house:

3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms and 1 den

1 bathroom

built in 1948

hardwood floors

huge backyard for our 3 dogs

at least 3 trees on the property

the round thing in the front lawn was originally a pond

and that's about all I know for now.

I am hoping I will be able to do some research at the local library or town hall on the house and maybe find some photos of the original owners or information on them.
