AVON BEAUTY 1950 SOMETHING




LOOKIT! I'd like to say that I did this myself but actually Dad helped me. Anyways...(said like Nacho Libre) Here is gma! She sold avon for awhile when she was first married. I wasn't there for the Avon chapter but I remember she also sold a make up line in Idaho Falls called Fashion Two Twenty. She loved all that catalogue make up and perfume stuff. She still does! There are some distinct sweet smells in my memories of the powders and lipsticks. I was known to go rummaging through her neatly organized bags until I was caught. I was not always applying it but I was rolling the lipstick up and out as far as they could go and then back in. Fascinating! Powders were so yummy but so far spreading....oops. Then she would stop me and give me a lemonhead to distract me. Sugar works with me. What a smart mommy.
