Can You Smell French Fries?

I can.
Since spying this lovely, lovely vintage sheet quilt several months ago, I decided that I would join the ranks and start scouring my local thrift stores for old sheets. And Bada-BING!!

Can you say, 2 all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a seseme seed bun??????

I can, too!

Now, I'm not such a brainiac when it comes to knowing the names of these cute folks.

Can you help a girl?

All I can think of is the "Hamburgler".

Man, this was a sweet ad campaign. Are you feeling the love on this??

Look at this perfect Katie Jump Rope Fabric to go with it!

It will all be VERY vintage-y by the time I finish with it, in 2027. Let's see Katie Jump Rope came out in 2007?

So by 2027.....yep, it'll be vintage.

  3. That Vintage Sheet Quilt is what inspired me to be in a vintage sheet swap! And I still have the nice little bundle of sheet fat quarters sitting in front of me, because they are so pretty and I'm too afraid to cut into them! And, I can say, "two all beef patties...." When I was probably 10ish? Give or take. I was on the radio and won! Cause I could say it completely and fast! LOL. And Nancy; SAWEEET! 2027! like you have anything else to do! Geesh. LOL. P.S. That is one awesome purchase!

  4. Do you get some money from the big golden M today for your commercial?? :D I didn't even know they MADE sheets like that. Go figure. I can't wait to see it all done - someday.
