Mid-Century Modern Sofa & Chair

I ran across these great Mid-Century Modern Sofa & Chairs at Urban Outfitters.com

TV Dinners - Fun and Retro

Do you remember TV Dinners? The Aluminum or Tin Foil. Cooking them for 40-60 minutes? They were fun. You got to choose what you ate, and eat out of the little compartments, and best of all your food was separated, no mixing of the gravy or tastes. Well they still make them, although they are in plastic, and most people microwave them. Take a browse in your supermarket, and pick up one for a crazy dinner evening with the kids or the hubs, and instead of microwaving, find one you can put in the old fashioned oven and enjoy some conversation while it cooks. While you eat, remember the old days. What fun.

Girl's Friday Night Dinner and a Movie

How to Marry a Millionaire is a great Girl's Night Retro Movie. Great clothes and lots of laughs. Stars Marilyn Monroe, Betty Grable, and Lauren Bacall. It has been sent out in press releases that Nicole Kidman is doing a remake set in contemporary times, and will be doing the part played by Marilyn Monroe, Lauren Bacall's part was always my favorite. Anyway, enjoy the old one on your DVD player. For the the dinner, do like the movie, deli sandwiches (cold cuts) and Champagne, if you are feeling adventurous, make them into a grilled sandwich or a pannini.

Thinking of Spring - Fountain

Great fun Rock Bubbler Fountain. Just drill a hole in a rock, use a container underneath to hold your water, and pipe it just below the hole in the rock, then enjoy. Great easy idea to get the sound of water in your garden.

Party Party Party - Superbowl Style

When thinking about the upcoming superbowl and people throwing parties, I ran across this image. It is an old fashioned retro party. Nothing is more fun than a old fashioned smorgasboard where everyone brings something.

Here's a little retro snack:

1 or 2 packs of "Little Smokies"

Your choice of BBQ Sauce

Put in a crock pot and let get hot and tender 1-2 hours, then just keep hot and serve with toothpicks.

Retro Waterfeature Landscape

I love the 50's and 60's. Still beating the winter blues by looking through old books and ran across water features of the 1960's. This would be a great use of old bricks or old cinder block.
