Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee Telephone - 1977

I went on a search to find a replacement for the missing sleeve for our chandelier, you know the type of sleeves that make the bulbs look like  candles, well I just discovered this site that sells some extraordinary candle sleeves take a look at their beƒore and aƒters.

To see more and for a retailer near you  if you've lost your sleeve.

Hair Dryers

I got these for peanuts at an auction or two - I'm very fond of the pink Pifco, with pink cord & mains fitting for a light-bulb. It's marked AC/DC which rather dates it in England, even if DC persisted much later in parts of the USA.
Too many pics maybe - I'm sure an admin will clear it up :D

Coffee: Chase and Sanborn

Chase & Sanborn Coffee is an American coffee company established in 1862. It claims to be the first coffee company to pack and ship roasted coffee in sealed tins.

When Standard Brands was formed in 1929 it acquired Chase & Sanborn, where it remained until 1981 when the company merged into Nabisco. Kraft Foods sold the brand to Sara Lee in 2002, and the Chase & Sanborn, Hills Bros.,MJB, and Chock Full O' Nuts brands were sold to Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group in 2006.

An unknown chair

I picked this up at curb side several years ago. I thought it was a sin against vintage for it to rot in a dump.

Recycle, reuse, renew.

Cane back and buttons secure the cushion

Faux tiger fur,  leather arms

Bamboo or is it Rattan?

If anyone has any information on this chair, I'd be grateful if you'd please take the time to enlighten me.
