For the younger set, 50's furniture had LOTS of chrome and was VERY colorful. So here is our tribute to that era:

Can you say, "Flashback"?

Hey, Ed, the dinette set that my grandmother had when I was born is still in use. Our youndest son has it. Everthing except the table top and seat and backs of the chairs is chromed. The seats have been recovered twice and need it again, but it's still very sturdy and operational.:D

A local high school is looking for a donation for their annual auction. Theme this year is the 50's. I think I may have stumbled onto my donation.

Ed, I THINK I remember something from the 70's that had a similar effect;)...something about, "just put this on your tongue"....

Ed,
I seem to remember (Keeping in mind that memory is the first thing that goes as we age) but weren't the physcodelic colors more in the '70's[?]:D:D

I seem to remember wearing clothes with those colors when I was in SF during the 70's[8D][8D]

it was teenagers sitting around their 50's style brightly colored living rooms "experimenting" that came up with the psychedelic colors!

Ed, I think you're a decade or two off. Any "serious" Deadhead would love this pen! That's your market!!! Also reminds me of a lot of Peter Max art I've seen

I like it! It reminds me of a polyester shirt I had in the seventies. The colors are pretty much the same. Although I think it would blend in if it were in my shirt pocket! (70's camo?) [8D] Did Dawn make the blank?

Thanks to one and all (except Chris:D:D:D).

This is one that will be coming from Europe in a couple weeks. I didn't expect it to be very popular, so you may want to be FIRST in line when the order arrives.

About 50 pens-worth coming.

So... Wheres the line form? (And I hope you'll be sharing pics of the other items in the order too?)

Hmmm.. now where did all that money go again? -- At least its getting nicer out so more turning time is in the 'forecast'.. Maybe if I turn more of the stuff I bought from you last time I can afford some more new :)

I like the looks of it, even though I'm from the younger set. Too bad it isn't in stock yet, or you could include it with the packages of Kringles you'll be sending out at the end of the month. [:p]

Cav,

I believe you should put a warning before such a link

"We all live in a yellow submarine!" Sir Paul McCartney would be pround of these. They remind me of Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ("We hope you have enjoyed the show"). :D I kinda like them (especially the first one).[8D]

Does the pen run on batteries to make it so bright? Are the batteries included when you buy a blank?[:eek:)] I may have to get some, my wife likes it.

I like it Ed! My youngest daughter and her group of friends are into the colorful clothes like this. She says it's because so many kids like to wear black now. They want to be different. You may as well put me down for 4 of them when they come in.[:p]
