Blast from the Past

During Boxing Week, we were in Vancouver and one of the things we brought along for reading material on the areoplane is The Vermont Country Store catalog. The main premise of the shop, catalog and on-line store is that they feature items from the recent and not-so recent past, that may harken back memories of yore. We certainly had a bit of that with two staples from our youth. The Sweet Earth Solid Fragrances were a favorite in junior high and the White Cloverine Salve was what our parents used for our many childhood rashes.

Check out the site, which features (our) college-era Lanz clothing, food and candy and numerous other things that will suddenly spark memories of days gone by. No Little Kiddles, but we love the site anyway.
