Featured Have you ever bought something just because it made you Smile ?

Well , for a whole $2.75 , I just did !!

A mini cookie jar , is all I can think of...

Most likely Chinese.... but unsure of the makers mark or matching numbers , if they point somewhere else?

LOL. It's cute. put your teabags in it.

It's the Naugahyde Monster!
The upholstery stuff that imitates leather he was the mascot of the company.

 

Actually-- please don't!!

 

Many Naugas gave the hydes for this! Not sure I'd be sticking my hand in that.

 

Froggy for 2 bucks-yrs later stupidly sold on Ebay...wish I would've kept him !

We had a thread like this in 2018, but with so many post-2018 members who have become regulars it is fun to have one again.

The same as then, this silly duo still puts a big grin on my face:

they look like they have both been put in a naughty bin...........seeeeething

 

They are rolling their eyes.

 

I have many such things, but can't help smiling, even chuckling a bit, any time I see Margaret Gutierrez (Santa Clara Pueblo) Storyteller Turtles.

 

is Naugahyde strangely familiar to anyone else..........but without ever hearing of such a thing before ?

 

We had a "genuine" naugahyde chair in the early 70s. Green. Don't blame me; no one asked the kids!

 

I remember it well because when I was a little kid my parents wanted to have our hide-a-bed (another vintage term) sofa reupholstered. They put a lot of effort into deciding which fabric or material to use. From the deepest recesses of my memory, I seem to recall that they chose 'breathable' Naugahyde. It was sort of like little tiles of vinyl joined by something woven. I don't see anything like it in current offerings.

 

In keeping with the season, this made me smile

 

I bought this for my sister the other day because it made me laugh! She LOVED it and it is now hanging in her office!

 

We collect whimsical ceramic novelties. Most are Japanese. We have some salt and pepper shakers but really prefer other things. Pics were just now taken on the fly so not the best quality.
