I am very privileged to count Mary Grace Thomas as my friend. True to her name she is extremely gracious and recently gifted me with this fantastic 1940’s heavyweight glass PAL soda bottle for my vintage type collection. This bottle is a real beauty… the retro type, graphics and embossing all have character to boot. Be sure to make the jump below to learn more about Mary Grace and her shop…
MG is quite the multi-tasker. She somehow manages to mother 2 school-age daughters, pursue her master’s degree in libary and information science (MLIS), run a small business with her sister and more recently has opened up a vintage shop on Etsy called Test of Time. Above I have featured some favorites currently for sale in her shop. I am really digging the vintage metal wind-up toys from Japan and the graphics + story behind the playing cards. Apparently, the previous owner received these art deco thunderbird cards as a gift when he purchased his first Ford T-bird many moons ago.
