Whatever Happened to Danish Modern?

From my old 1965 Spiegel Catalog comes this ad for Danish Modern furniture. We had two of the chairs - no ottoman - and I thought they were about as comfy to sit in as a chair can be. Ours had melon colored cushions. I used to go to a beauty shop here in town and their chairs were Danish Modern, also. There'something about the way the seat and back slants that make them nice to sit in. I found some things in the catalog that seem to be missing now and I will post them at a later date. There are lots and lots of things missing in the catalog that we have now - that's for sure! (Click to enlarge)

I don't know about Danish Modern, but we still have the wood frame couch that used to belong to my Grandparents. It's used regularly in our garage/theater room :) We've very rarely bought furniture of our own - most of our stuff is hand-me-downs.

Old Pictures of the People in My Life

In this blog, I will post pictures from the past of the many people in my life who I love and have loved. The initial post and any that are labeled Pearce Family refer to my mother's family. Dan and Maggie Pearce had five children, Nelle, Nan, my mother, Harry (Ham), Leah and Ed. They took a lot of pictures and I plan to post many of them. My brother has sent me many pictures over the internet this past week - some of which I haven't seen - and this has prompted me to set up this blog to display those wonderful old photos.

I will also be posting pictures of my family, my husband's family, and our family. Those posts will be labeled by the family's name in the list on the sidebar. I hope this is something that will be enjoyed by anyone who looks in on

my blog.

I will try and tell as much as I can remember about people and places and events and of course much of it will be inaccurate but really just having the great old photographs to look at is fun in itself. And I do know who lots of the folks are.

Enjoy.
