Just some of the Vintage Retro furniture and fixtures that have been in our home since 1968!  People love to see our Vintage Retro gems!

Vintage Retro Period As for our periods of furniture– not sure if Vintage Retro's one! However, since I spanned so many years, it seems to me this should be done! My influence can still be seen in homes. Some people often think it strange, to cling to my old Vintage Retro look and never want to make a change. So pleased my unique period ruled well – for thirty years I did endure! My decades had a flavor of their own– so powerful was my allure! My special time was dominated by the colors green, orange, and gold; Formica, Lucite, vinyl, walnut, chrome – outstanding – very sleek and bold. My Vintage Retro period – well-loved by most – did fade away, its true. Still Retro-furnished homes are so enjoyed by visitors who get a view. My long-remembered items bring a crowd at Vintage Retro store displays! The prices paid are unbelievable – so pleased I'm worth much more these days! To prove my point, you might take time to see the photo grouping up above! My Vintage Retro gems still grace their home forever more for them to love! Sandra M. Haight ~First Place~ Contest: Punctuation Personified Theme: Period Furniture Sponsor: Debbie Guzzi Judged: 10/06/2015 Note: Vintage Retro means actually made in '50s, '60s or '70s The term Retro by itself can mean old but also newly made to look like old Vintage Retro includes: Mid-Century, Mid-Century Modern, and Danish Modern styles

How fun to cherish something from a different time period. We are also collectors..., one of my favorite ways to spend a day, is in an old thrift shop, or flea market.....looking for one more jewel! Congrats on a well crafted poem!

Actually, I really love a lot of vintage retro, since I grew up during that period of time! I have some in my home, but not as much as you do. Great poem, and congrats on your win, Sandra :)
