While doing a bit of online gift shopping today, I came across this scrumptious little treasure: Let's Bring Back: An Encyclopedia of Forgotten Yet Delightful, Chic, Useful, Curious, and Otherwise Commendable Things from Times Gone By with this downright charming book trailer. I am incredibly tempted to buy it immediately.Have any of you dears read it or seen it in person?After watching that trailer, I have the sudden urge to play some records and try a bouffant.
Never heard of this title, but if it is calling you, you should answer!
ReplyDeleteAwesome find! I remember records :) Still have mine somewhere....
ReplyDelete:)
Elie: True! :)
ReplyDeleteEmily: I have tons of records :) I love the pop and snap of an old record.
It does look like quite a fun book!
ReplyDeleteOMGosh that does sound good. I do miss some of the "good old stuff"! :)
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting! I am excited for you to read it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read it but it looks like you could have designed the cover. I say buy it--it's right up your alley.
ReplyDeleteLooks cute! I love the retro look.
ReplyDeleteSuch a charming book trailer!
ReplyDeleteOh man, that's awesome. I'm going to have to look into this one!
ReplyDeleteAlso - I definitely use fountain pens more than any other, so that's 1 down...
ReplyDelete;p
This sounds like it would be full of treasures!
ReplyDeleteAlas, I have not seen not heard of this one (looks interesting though), but I did see something similar if more dated. A awesome book on all things 80's! You know, like Cabagge Patch dolls, ET, the Raisinettes, etc... ^_^
ReplyDeleteBAHahaaha...a bouffount (?) as in the hair thing...you should do it and then take a picture so I can see it....:D
ReplyDeleteohhhh...this looks like one I need to get. I love old stuff. I have a nice collection of dainty hankies & white gloves. I still listen to records,too ;-)
ReplyDeleteI had to explain what a card catalog was to my girls the other day. I feel old.
Oh dear. This looks like a blast! Lol.
ReplyDeleteOh, I fear I am much too interested in this one! I was intrigued at first, and then I had to go and watch that book trailer. It sounds awesome!!

We also have a vintage smoking table, dresser, oh - who I'm kidding? We have alll sorts of vintage stuff. We live for vintage.
Tina: LOL :) I bet I would make a beautiful boufant.
GMR: OMG so cute. Now I want that one too.

ReplyDeleteIt's cute! You should get it. The universe may have caused you to come upon it for a reason. Or maybe not, but you won't know unless you get it! ;)
ReplyDeleteClarification: I mean it's cute looking/sounding. I've never read it.
ReplyDeleteHmm, I haven't seen it, it does sound like a lot of fun, though.

ReplyDeleteXOXO~ Renee
Sherry: Thanks doll :) How very sweet of you!
ReplyDeleteRenee: Oooooo I don't have any Simon and Garfunkel. But Mr. Whimsy and I were jamming out to Boston and Journey on vinyl last night. ;) Speaking of old school, Mr. Whimsy has a t-shirt (I bought him) that has a cassette on it and reads: "Old School"
Now I really want this one as well! And I love that cover, it's so pretty and well designed and would look lovely on my shelf. Love this feature Juju!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it would be a fun book to own!
ReplyDeleteI do have a copy. It's the perfect book to peruse when you have a spare moment or two. Thanks again for visiting my blog. So nice to hear from you!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll start with bringing back the three martini lunch today ;) This book looks like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteHehehe sounds like a great t shirt and while we were playing Kinect last night we were totally rocking out to Boston! What a coincidence :-D
ReplyDeleteXOXO~ Renee
Jenny: Thank you pumpkin! I was thinking the same thing about this cover. I could frame it.
ReplyDeleteChristie: Exactly :)
Susan: I love your blog! You will definitely see me soon. :)
Alita: ;-)
Renee: *high five* While you were playing Kinnect to Boston, Mr. Whimsy was playing Wii to Boston :) that is a coincidence! Great minds think alike.
Oh I want!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first I hear of it. Now I want a copy. Thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteLadyTink & JessicaBookLover: Right? I SO need to just bite the bullet and order it ;)
ReplyDeleteNo, I haven't read that book but it does look interesting :)
ReplyDeleteCherry: Doesn't it? Do you like anything vintagey?
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen it before, but Chronicle Books does amazing things! I love their vintage line of books. I think that's where I discovered the book I sent you. ;o)
ReplyDelete1st daughter: Ironic because I found them when I was shopping for you! I'm sort of in love with them now :)
ReplyDeleteNo, not everything vintagey. Just sometimes. But there is a 1970's themed diner in Cardiff which I go to because of it's atmosphere... there is a nice nostalgic feel to it that I like ;)
ReplyDeleteCherry: *smile* It sounds like fun! Now I wish I could look it up ;)
