Retro Groove
The Mercantile Muse Photo Challenge is in full swing and a has been a ton of fun. What a hoot it's been seeing everyone's take on one theme. Still plenty of challenges left if you want to join in.
From the streets of London to aMAZE-ing Hawaii, retro grove can be found in all corners of the globe. That doesn't even make sense, seeing as how a globe is round. However, retro groove is everywhere.
While on vacation recently, Bonnie got to visit this neat museum. A time capsule of sorts.

For good measure, Bonnie sent this one of her mom and friends looking ever so glamourous at the beach. Fabulous! Bonnie's Mom is styling the longer curls on the left.

The 70s grass cloth wallpaper in Kristen's home has been the bane of her existence for a long time. It's down, but it took a lot of effort. I kept telling her, I kind of liked it.

Maybe I'm just a nut, but I actually think the other wallpaper Kristen had to deal with is kind of groovy too. Kristen? Not so much.

This one is killing me. Emma, that pineapple really suits you.

You must read about Emma's pineapple maze skills. Not all was lost Emma, you got some great shots, right?
Kathy's shot forces me to date myself. I'm here to tell you, I was a cheerleader and I wore saddle shoes. We might have been the last squad to do so. I think they're still in my Mom and Dad's attic. I thought they rocked.

I'll admit something else. I have never mastered the hula hoop. I think I can can get them going now, but my problem is I always use too much hip.

Love everything in this vignette from Traci ....the ginger jar lamp, the camera, the scale, the suitcase. Well, you get the idea.

This 'see no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil' picture from Karen makes me want to know more of the story. Where was this? When was this? Were you at a concert? Were these you high school or college pals?

Harken back to a gentler time and place.....around the May Pole of course.

Came across this mint condition el camino in our yard sale travels last summer.

I only have to look out my window to see my neighbor's barn.

Ashley's dh's totally groovalicious tie collection. I would seriously be stealing these from my husband.

How'd you like to cruise around London in this classic Ford Popular? Well, that's what Cari-Jane and her husband have been doing, now that he got this baby running.

According to Cari, 'people STARE, take photos and you get to feel like a celebrity (except that it is the car that is the celebrity). The horn goes 'toot toot' and the indicators are little flags that pop out of the side.' Other than the olympic flags in this shot, this could be London many moons ago.
Oh how I'd love a ride in that baby.
Fantastic submissions as usual. Thanks for joining in.
Other fantastic things? It's Monday. Start of a fresh, new week. Yesterday's pop-up drenching thunder/wind storm only rained on 5 pieces of clothing instead of an entire wash like last week (I was too fast with the laundry basket this time). The giveaway is going strong and has some of the best stuff around, all for you to win. To top things off, there's a little bit of networking happening on our facebook page. Stop by and share a link to your shop and/or blog and meet some new peeps. If you're not a shop owner or blogger, stop by and 'like' us anyway. I post a lot of neat stuff that you won't necessarily find here on the Muse.
Make it a great week. Don't forget to get your submissions for Day 6 of Photo Challenge (eency weency) to me by end of day tomorrow.
Ciao for now,
