Lemon Yellow Vintage 60s
I am playing catch-up this week after a few weeks of illness and malaise and recuperation. Sorry for the absence, though I have done a few searches in the meantime and I haven’t seen that we’ve missed much. But look what is still available down in Osage Beach! Why is this still waiting around when it should be all loved up in a new somebody’s house? Lemon yellow vinyl, folks! I don’t want to see this one posted again. It makes me sad because it’s too gorgeous for words. Go buy it.
Retro Kitchen Dinette Set (Lake of the Ozarks Craigslist). I love lemon yellow vinyl from the 1960s.
You know what? I’ll decorate your entire sunroom for you. Buy this and that fantastic lemon yellow bar down at Funtiques in Springfield, and you’ve got yourself a room. Then you have to invite me over. I will wear a beehive and a muumuu and frosted pink lipstick and we will drink lemonade (or, ooh, let’s have Tom Collinses) together while we ignore our children and smoke skinny cigarettes. And that is a crazy fantasy because I don’t have any kids and I don’t smoke. But if you bought all this for your house, I would rent a child to ignore with you, and then I would pretend to smoke skinny cigarettes. We would have a great time, you and me, in your sunroom.
Here is the bar you need:
Ooh, buy that TV too. We can watch soap operas on it. I don’t like soap operas, but we can’t not watch soap operas on that TV in this fictional room at your house. (Like how this is all happening at your house?) Anything else would be wrong and ridiculous.
And here is a swag lamp that you can hang up in there:

This is making me ache for summer! And I even love winter, so I don’t know what that’s about. Lemonade and swimming pools and white plastic sunglasses. I swear, you and I will be best friends because I will want to hang out in your lemon yellow sunroom all the time.
How’s it coming? Bought this stuff yet? Let me know the minute you do.
I would blame all of this on lingering effects of the flu, but honestly this is just how I get around lemon yellow vintage 60s stuff. It makes me giddy with delight.
