UNUSUAL DECORATION: VINTAGE COMMODES OUTSIDE A FILTRATION PLANT

This was posted on my hometown group where I was originally from.  It is outside the filtration plant.

Have to admit that seeing a group of vintage commodes, probably from the late 60s to late70's when having a commode to match to match your decor was a thing and turning the center one into a planter is not something you would see everyday and using them as decoration is saving them from a landfill.

THRIFT STORE FIND: VINTAGE SIGN - IF NOT FOR CHOCOLATE THERE WOULD NO NEED FOR CONTROL TOP PANTYHOSE

 

If you are under 30 you might be scratching your head over this one.

I found this in a thrift store and I am guessing this is from the 1970s when Control Top Pantyhose became popular as it eliminated the need for some women that used to wear a girdle with their pantyhose just to wear hose, so it was a big deal for those women.  

Teen girls even wore them under slinky dresses as it gave a cleaner line to the garment.

These days pantyhose is not the wardrobe staple they used to be for women, let alone control top, but they are still great for formal dress, special occasions, or certain garments.
