Santa Baby....

From the e-bay ( it's ok, she lost...) A set of very rare, late 40's BAKELITE!!! combination napkin ring and place card holder. Yours for the pittance of 1,300.$

So funny, ALL bakelite was dime store stuff.... bangles that were 10¢ are now big money.

My obsession with those very few years- post war, pre 1950's conformity- is all but becoming dangerous  " and my black turtle neck just reeks....".
