5 out of 5 starsBought for our daughter for her bday, she loves MCM area and she's an artist and we already gave it to her, I couldn't wait-part of her gifts... Mailed out quickly, very creative packaging, even including mini cutouts like on a dream board-thoughts, pictures we both loved this! Were both creative woman, so that was an added plus, Thank you, such a great creative touch and it was upped with love and care and creativeness, it was wrapped up to using some MCM material as well. Sunshine in a package! She loved the package and loves her new wall hanging, looks like her cat. Ty for such individual creative touches. Will order again, I wish I could give more than a 5 star!!

I'm editor of Melmac Central website and blog, and write articles on Melmac online. I also run the Living a Vintage Life podcast. Retro Chalet is a little seasonal boutique full of an eclectic mix of the treasures I find in my travels. Wife of a BBQ Pitmaster, I get to travel all over, I love anything unique and like to bring old things back to life! From junking at an old farm sale to buying remains of abandoned factories in small rural towns I have a bunch of treasure waiting to share with the world.. I'm also an assemblage artist and I love using old things and giving them new life. So you'll find the rescued, re-purposed, some of my original assemblage.... We own the Got Beef? ® trademarks I own and design using approved manufacturers. I make window props for shops, and when I have time I enjoy collecting and writing about 1950s melmac and run a website dedicated to old plastics, https://RetroChalet.blogspot.com aka "Melmac Central."
