The Simpler Times of the 1950's

The 1950's

Simplicity of Life
By: Merle E. Givens Meg Simplifies


I go back to the simple life. Well, I found an unusual way to do so and may be turning aside to this blog many a time. It is call the "The Apron Revolution" and it kicks of the late 1950's.  Follow the '50sGal' through her experiment of being in this era and learn more about the lifestyles of this era.

As of date, today is March 27, 1957 to be exact. Turn back the time and join me as we see how to organize, enjoy some good old 50's music and great musicals of the day.

Audrey Hepburn shows her style in "Funny Face" and "Think Pink" is the in style now too. See link below to watch 'Think Pink' video.

50s times: 21 March 1957 “Think Pink: Madison Avenue to Beatniks”

Tonight would be the 29th Annual Academy awards, and the movie, "Around the World in Eighty Days" is the winner.

As you turn back time, learn organizing advice from the 1950's period, at her blog, ‘The Apron Revolution'.  Listen to some advice from a guest blogger as she too shows you some closet organizer advice that is great for us as well.

I look forward to seeing much more of this site as it goes through the end of one era to the coming of the years of the sixties.  But for now, live the simpler life of the fifties and take time to slow down and enjoy it while you read her wonderful blog.

Sentimental Clutter - Clutter Corn Connection – Frame It

Sentimental Clutter

Clutter Corn Connection – Frame It

By: Merle E. Givens – Meg Simplifies

Yeah, what can you do when you got old farm supplies that you just cannot remove?  Well, I say if you cannot let go and if it is that sentimental then frame it up and plaster it on the wall.  I never thought of this idea though until I saw this site. Click link below and see the picture that caught my eye and inspired me.  

I have seen a clock with seeds on it, and I have made seeded art in my youth.  But this is something new and different.  It works real well for that country look some like.

A company called ‘The Great Frame Up’, here in Creve Coeur, Missouri showed me a new way to keep this old clutter from fading.  Whether it is seeds or seed bags, they can probably frame it.

For you all farmers the art of farming has just begun.  Long live farming now in the art world.  Simplify that clutter and keep the memories by shadow boxing or framing it.  Thanks to the person that framed this seed bag, you have kept the dream alive and made farm art a treasure.
