    I used the Dot and Jim books in 1969 when I was in first grade.

    What a kick, all the things of my childhood. Table top hair dryer in the 50's gave way to straightening your hair with an ironing board and iron or sleeping with wet hair wrapped around veggie cans held on with Bobbie pins, och! Those of us " war babies " grew up in houses that had all that cool furnitue, I even have my uncles end tables which he purchased from Denmark.

    This video was literally a walk through my childhood!! Had the hairdryer myself! Had the pyrex dishes! Much of what was in my parents and grandparents homes was in that shop! WOWZERS! I have a midmod home and have furnished it with quite a few midmod pieces. Watching this was such a treat!! I have a midmod telephone bench/table, sofa, coffee table (double decker like that end table you found), headboard, dressers, dining room table and chairs, as well as china hutch. I am always on the lookout. Oh, and quite a bit of the original Barbie wardrobe!!

    I sat under that very hair dryer as a child! I sat under it from the late 60's thru part of the 70's. My grandma made sure I "didn't go out with wet hair"...lol. LOVE the hankies! I seen SO many treasures as you scanned through there & boy did the childhood memories flood me 💖‼️

    The hair dryer is 70’s, I had one. Those hankies are definitely 50’s. I miss having pretty hankies to carry in your purse. Men don’t even carry handkerchiefs anymore.

      @@thedistressedprincessdiy this sounds crazy, but with more women going into the workforce it was one less thing to have to wash & iron. Plus, not the most sanitary item 🤣😂 When I was first married I can remember washing & ironing them for my husband. I think Kleenex had a lot to do with it possibly. Not sure.

    Another person who sat under a similar home dryer ... although a different color (cream/yellow) and the bonnet portion was flexible plastic (think big shower cap that could go over both curlers and your head.
    An idea for the craft project.... turn your find into a kitchen clock ⏰️ 😉
