How awesome would it be to drink your morning coffee from this vintage mug?!! I found it on eBay, and from the photos and description it seems to be in new condition. It's listed as a pre-1970s item, but I haven't been able to find out what year these were made.

Terry Bradshaw's Peanut Butter
Wednesday, September 3, 2008
I found this vintage jar on eBay today. I had no idea that former football player Terry Bradshaw had his own brand of peanut butter. From what I can find, it was only sold in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area during the late 70s and early 80s. I did find a funny quote from Bradshaw about it in his book, It's Only A Game:
The only thing that was wrong with our product was its taste. Apparently people didn't seem to like the taste very much. One newspaper arranged a taste test conducted by a panel of young people, and we won the top award for Least Desirable. Other than that it was a fine peanut butter. It had a real nice label.
The brand didn't last long so the jars are rare, making this one a collector's item.

Vintage 1966 Skippy Peanut Butter Ad
Saturday, July 5, 2008
I found this vintage Skippy ad on eBay. Do you remember their "Are You a Nut Nut" campaign? I have no clue why a peanut wearing a goofy admiral's hat is supposed to convince people to buy peanut butter, but it is sort of cute and very memorable. The ad's approximately 13.5 x 10", suitable for framing, and priced to buy now at $9.99.

Mice and Peanut Butter and Jelly
Thursday, June 26, 2008
I found this original ACEO painting on eBay, and I love ACEOs--so I had to share it with you. (There are about 5 days left before this auction closes, so there's time to go on over and place a bid on it!) Painted in acrylics by Anita Ware, there is a ton of detail packed into this little 2.5" x 3.5" piece of art. The only thing I can't figure out is which mouse made the sandwiches?
