I remember my American grandma's dresser,, with her matching brush and mirror set, a bottle of 'White Shoulders" and a tin of Talcum Powder. I remember my mom also having Avon brand talc powder, "Occur" and "Topaz" where her favorites.
While unpacking a box (half my belongings are still packed up) I found this old talcum tin. This is the 'puff' that was in it. The tin is stamped, Made in England,,
and.. made me think,, I need to find some talc with a big fluffy powder puff to give to my mama for Christmas.... so this afternoon I dashed to Walmart.. and asked the clerk if she stocked any.. She said No.. well I decided to double check and guess what? there in the bottom shelf, was 3 boxes of Wind Song talc.. glad I didn't take her word...
I do luv the sweet 'ladies necessities' that were displayed on a ladies dressing table back in the day....
I actually have 5 sets of hair brush and mirror sets, one is in my trailer, one is on my bedroom dresser, this one is in the guest room and 2 other sets that are still in their box. This red container is a Avon talc holder... the label underneath says, Avon Dusting Powder. Hmmm, maybe I need to go back to the store and buy another container of Talc... I mean Dusting Powder! I know, it's been said that it's not good to use talcum powder,, but it sure does bring back sweet memories.
