Mr Robot-o and I just got back from a mini trip to Arkansas. It was his idea to take a couple of days, drive north and see what we could find. We ended up in Bryant Arkansas and there we found this wonderful Antique Mall called Blue Suede Shoes. What a fun place. It seems that there were several dealers there that specialized in RETRO. As In "I grew up with that" Retro. As I entered one group of booths I was transported back in time to my childhood and Robot-o and I decided to camp it up a bit.
I wish I could have played in this space, and rearranged it so it looked like the living room and kitchen I grew up in. But I thought the dealer might get a little peeved. So we just decided to sit at this retro table, grab a couple of retro glasses and pose for a shot. You see this is our 28th wedding anniversary.

I swear we had this in my house
You have to say we loved our color in the 70's
Swanky bar ware
Wow where are my sun glasses?
And we could have dressed the part too. There was a huge section of retro clothing right near the cash register.
Lately I've fallen in love with retro glassware, but It's a bit pricey on Ebay. I was in luck at this place and came home with this load of great retro glasses.
I just love the colors and the graphics
I did get lots of great junk too, but I just had to share this fun silliness with all of you.

Margo those glasses are so FAB....I'm constantly torn between the graphics of the 60's & 70's versus the 'subtle' florals of the 40's & 50's....Back & forth I go like a yo yo....Thanks to your post I'm thinkin' retro again....hahahahaha....!
Glad to hear you managed to get away for a bit....!!
Cheers from Oz,
Tamarah :o)
What a cute post and happy anniversary!
Mr. Robot-o kinda reminds me of Kip's Big Boy in that one get-up. Reckon you could get his hair to do that little flip thing?

I am drooling over the glasses. I love them and would have bought them all. Also the photos were fun.
Looks like you had a great time! Don't you love it when you see things that are 'vintage' oe 'retro' and remember having them growing up? At least they aren't antiques - yet!
Happy anniversary!
Happy Anniversary to you both and may I just say that you look too young to have been married for 28 years! Oh I know that my mother had the polka dot aqua blue glasses for sure. She just packed them up for a yard sale...I should probably do some unpacking quick.
Happy Anniversary!!
We took a trip to Arkansas a couple of years ago and I also stopped in at Blue Suede Shoes. It was a very nice shop. I will be going again in a couple of weeks. Maybe I can get DH to stop in again. *wink, wink*
Happy Hunting,
Teresa
