The costliest marbles and tile. But not gaudy, never!
(In all seriousness, I wish I could have seen this place. The Green Mill is still around, but not the Gardens.)

It's always hard to know if I found these ads here or elsewhere, but this one is so lovely.

I'm just fascinated with old Pullman cars. I admit to a small fascination with Malt-Nutrine, as well.

Iris Day
A few months ago, rainbow_goddess posted a series of lovely ads featuring the word "iris." Here is one I borrowed, but please view the rest at the link under the image.

It's also World Red Cross Day/World Red Crescent Day and No Socks Day.

It's V-E Day and School Nurses Day, too. (Got ads?)
Not to mention National Receptionists Day so in honor of my favorite TV receptionist, I am posting the video below, but it's not technically a vintage ad (I don't think) so under the cut it goes. Presenting . . .

(Posting early--kinda tired.)

"Gold Smashes Iron to Bits", 1914-1918
German propaganda poster urging citizens to bring their gold to purchasing centers (in other posters it was more bluntly "Your Gold to the Fatherland"), to support the war effort.

MANY more WW1 German posters HERE.
( One man made this dress.... )

It's legit, I'm just not entirely sure what they're getting at. Anybody know?
