Friday Smiles 451: Another room in the musuem

 

It's Friday and I'm once again joining Friday Smiles which is hosted by Annie (at A Stitch in Time).   Let's visit her and the other wonderful ladies who also share their smiles each Friday.

This is the room we will enter today.  I hope those of you who are mothers will appreciate this and those who love antiques, will also.

This is what I saw when I entered the room.  From the children's toys to vintage clothes, to a breakfast scene which we'll view later, this is always a fun room to view.

An old radio and floor lamp looked like something one might have from (I think) the 1940s.

Radio schedules, books, children's toys, and vintage dolls were carefully displayed.

Even though I never collected dolls as a child, I love this display.

I have one of these "prams" I found sitting by the side of the road on trash day.  Mine has isinglass windows on the sides and it's actually in better condition than the one in the museum.

I especially like what appears to be a child's steamer trunk.  I wonder if the fabric in those dresses is new or old.  I'm not sure what is in the boxes, but I'm guessing hats.

One of my favorite displays.  I'll return to this soon.

Robots and space, which, from what I have read, is what children in the 1950s were interested in.

Games, something I love, too.  However, I've never heard of or seen any of these.  I think they are SO much more fun than what we have today, like Candy Crush, etc.

Farm toys, cars, trains, and airplanes make this one of my favorite toy displays.

Back to the carousel horse.  There are mirrors behind it, 

so I had to be careful where I stood to take the photos.

A baby's room.  Note how far apart the side slats are.  They would never pass inspection today.  And although I've never been a mother, I understand you don't place a pillow in a baby's crib anymore.

Baby's breakfast in a high chair.  Great Kelloggs poster, too.  I LOVE the cane seat in this chair and I love the floor pattern, too.

There's more in this room, but I'll save it for next week.  How many of you mothers remember using something similar or having something similar in your room as a child?

Finally, a few more church bulletin bloopers:

 

The choir invites any member of the congregation who enjoys sinning to join the choir.

 

Our next song is “Angels We Have Heard Get High.”

 

The rosebud on the altar this morning is to announce the birth of David Alan Belzer, the sin of Rev. and Mrs. Julius Belzer.

 

This being Easter Sunday, we will ask Mrs. Lewis to come forward and lay an egg on the altar.

 

The service will close with Little Drops of Water.  One of the ladies will start quietly and the rest of the congregation will join in.

 

Next Sunday a special collection will be taken to defray the cost of the new carpet.  All those wishing to do something on the carpet should come forward and do so.

 

The church is glad to have with us today as our guest minister the Rev. Shirley Green, who has Mrs. Green with him.  After the service, we request that all remain in the sanctuary for the Hanging of the Greens.

 

Now let's join Annie (at A Stitch in Time) and the lovely ladies who join her for Friday Smiles.  Thanks again for visiting and spending a bit of time with Bleubeard and me this Friday.  Bleubeard would also like to catch Squiggles doing something on the carpet.  We would love to have you join us, too.
