so leave a comment, and feel free to follow
thanks James Little

all colors

Most of the items from the world fair exist in different colors.
Sometimes you think you have an item and then you find it in an other color. Sometimes you can find a bigger or smaller one... It was realy the beginning of the new times of marketing.




on the net

found this on the net... sadly my budget for expo stuff is 0 for the moment
still if you want to buy me a late birthday gift... feel free it was on ebay.

Vintage life his and hers

As a vintage lover I'm always looking out for good magazines. My wife has hers for a while. Recently they changed the layout. And then finally the first 'his' issue.

What can you find in the mag? Next to good documented articles , you will find interresting ads. Some good internet sites are always nice! 

Even if you have a good knowledge on the vintage way of life , i'm sure you can learn something if you start reading Vintage Life Magazine





Love story or not

Back in 1958 an English man in love came to the world fair in brussels and bought something for his girl home.. A nice charme fpr her bracelet, back in England his love found a new man and he never gave the charme. His grandson came a cross my blog, got in contact and mailed me the charme... Home sweet home in Belgium
