Shown below in another vintage frame from my collection is a card that's an "oldie" from Mary Engelbreit (1979). I told you I have been a fan of hers for a LONG time! Let's Make Up:
I found this cute pin at a thrift store for $1.00. She's putting on her make-up, too. There really is a little mirror, not sure if you can tell in the picture:
And I found this make-up bag here in the house inside of a drawer. Never used, I think it's from the 70's or so:
I love this Norman Rockwell Post cover. The guy on the left reminds me of Stan Laurel. Sorry I couldn't fit the whole thing on my scanner - you should never miss a detail in Rockwell's work. That's a plunger under his arm. Did you notice the lovely Ransburg wastebasket!? And the poor little Pekingese is going "What on earth are you two doing at Mom's vanity table?"
I used to always put my make-up on at my vanity table, an old waterfall style with a huge round mirror. I still have it but it wouldn't fit in the bedroom here at this house. I bought it in Sebastopol years ago. I kind of miss it.

ReplyDeletegreat line/lyric annette! you vanity sounds great - wish i had it. another good post heidi ho!
ReplyDeleteI remember when ME's work looked like that! Lindsey loves makeup almost as much as she loves Barbies! Twyla
ReplyDeleteI remember that vanity, too! It fit in your little mobile home, but not in the room you have now?? That's too bad.... I always thought it must've made you feel like a movie star sitting there!
ReplyDeleteHi, Heidi Ann! I've always admired vanities although I've never had one. I don't know if I could actually sit down while putting on make up!
ReplyDeleteI love Norman's work, too.
I mention you on my blog today! ♥
