Kelly's anniversary gift

[Blu Mongoose]

This is what we found today and Kelly loved it, I have to admit I wanted it too. So kind of a present for both of us. Love old vending machines!!

That's really cool!
I've always wanted an old coke fridge, myself... good find!

[Ginevive]

Cool! I actually saw an old Ford Pinto fridge at this person's house once (our friends were housesitting; it was there.) Cool fridge.
Post more mannequin pics! (if you're so inclined.)

Will post more soon but most are in storage at the moment. Getting them out for the winter so the cold doesn't damage them. Will have them set up by next week.

so... the fact that you two are so into maniquins is fascinating to me. please, if you want to, share your reasons for having them

That vending machine is cool as hell! I dig it!

[Blu Mongoose]

Yeah Kelly was fascinated by them when she was a child on her trips to the local florist shop. Always wanted one. She bought her first one right after we met. I got attached to the one always being there in the room and the obsession caught on. Great conversation starters, keeps strangers out of the house and puts off overnight guests[ too creepy for them].
Kelly is very artistic and they make great atmosphere props.
The vending machine is about a 1930 - 1940's cigarette machine she just fell in love with it. Our whole house is set up like a museum. The largest part of the collection is in storage now. We collect anything from advertising stuff, animal figurines and cards, airline, roseville, rosenthal, lladro, to name a few. over 50 seperate collections. Thanks for letting me ramble on.
