I thought it would be fun to play a little flashback Friday today.
Do y'all remember green stamps?
I do!
The picture above was a sign I just recently finished.
I came across an image like the one above with green stamps.
For those of you that don't go back that far....
Back in the 60's merchants offered S&H stamps as an incentive to draw in customers.
Now I don't go that far back but I can still remember the 70's
My sister and I would spend hours pasting these green stamps into a book.
Once your book was filled, you could shop through catalogs and pick out fun items.
I think they even had stores for you to redeem your green stamps.
Remember the Brady Bunch episode?
I think it was Jan's bracelet that almost ruined it for the girls...LOL
Well after skipping along memory lane I came across this lil jewel.
It was sold on Ebay for a very pretty penny. Yikes!
I could not get over it...
so I painted it!
Here's my version of the sign.
Minus the rust, it's pretty cool.
It's also up for grabs if anyone is interested.
It measures a tad over 17" x 21"
I can distress it more if you like.
Just email me and we can chat.
Did you collect green stamps?
Remember what you purchased with them?
I would love to hear all about it!
Can you believe that you can still redeem your unused stamps?!
yes indeed!
I wish I still had some.
I think I would get a beanbag chair for my office LOL
