I'll Call Her Betty


At last!
I'm thinking that my little vintage chair came right out of this moment in time.
1966 Style House Custom Interiors from Montgomery Wards.
I found this ad on a blog called Pleasant Family Shopping.
It's really a fun and interesting read!
Check it out HERE.



 I'm guessing a stout gimlet caused the dye to bleed.
Imagine a Mad Men moment...
Poor Drunk Betty Draper.
Alcohol and silk just don't mix, honey.


Thanks to you all for your input!

  1. It WAS a gimlet- or at least two martinis that created that stain!

    Damned Betty and Don! No manners AND they just throw their trash off into the wind at public parks!

    I am off to read the Sears info..love the chair, it's really pretty. Where will it live in your house?

  2. Ha ha ha ha!!! You DO have a way with words...and I am laughing out loud at work, nevertheless. I'd say you've hit it spot on. Good detective work, Tina!

  3. I think it was a milky drink. A Smith & Kerns maybe.

  4. I think you nailed it with your persistent research. That looks like the very line your chair came from!

    I agree that someone was probably feeling no pain when they knocked that drink over, and all I can say about that is "Thank God for throw pillows!"

  5. My daughter (not her real name) now lives in NYC, working in advertising, all because of that DA*N SHOW!! She left me to become Peggy.

  9. Love to imagine how things happen to an old piece of furniture that I end up buying, and yours is no different! Love the Betty Draper reference and also that chair! Good luck!

  10. Can you believe I have never watched one episode of Madmen? I want to...but I never seem to be able to keep up with a series these days. Glad you found some answers to your chair question!
