Are you having flashbacks to the 70s when you read that phrase? I sure did when I found this fabric last week at a thrift shop. I've always had a thing for Smokey, and was tickled when I found these curtains.
I tried to research to find what year they are from 'cause I hate to call things vintage if they're not really. They are made by Fieldcrest, and the only thing I could find online was this funny little article from 1972. (I love you, internet.) I think I can safely assume that they are from 1972, which I would consider vintage; I was just one year old...so yes, definitely vintage. Looking at the style, colors, and pictures, that sounds about right to me.
Can you stand the cuteness? Have a closer look at some of the images:
Little blue possums!
What a nice turtle helping blue mouse get his flower home.
Who made that beautful necklace for you Ms Deer?
Hmmm, break my matches...I don't get it, but I'll do anything you say, wise one.
I think he's getting ready to make another necklace for his lady...
I know that was a lot of photos with very cheesey captions, but every time I looked I found another very clever cute little thing.
They are two large, lined curtains, about 2 yards wide by 1.5 yards high, and the fabric is nice heavyweight. Question is...what to do with them? They'd be cute curtains as is for little boy's room...or maybe for a play room...or maybe made into...hmmm...I just don't know.
Happy 4th of July, all. Maybe something this weekend will remind you of your childhood...decorated bikes, ooohs and ahhhs, the smell of fireworks, root beer floats...can't wait to see little boy experience his first sparklers tomorrow. And to those of you in other countries, enjoy your weekend, too!!
