Retro Revolution

Need to close early today (Sunday), and will be closed Monday 6/24.

Terrible sinuses/alergy/migraine/cold something is making my head explode.

Crazy busy yesterday, so hopefully I’ll be restocked by the weekend!

Sorry for any any inconvenience!

Had to share these pics of an estate I dug thru this week…that’s not fake snow, but the most photogenic dust of the 30 year buildup I endured. Very interesting place lol. Just imagine someone addicted to early 90s gift shop junk, I found some cool stuff tho! Still cleaning, but will have a lot out this weekend!

Still doesn’t beat the roach and dead vermin shed I dug thru in AZ that had a ton of gold and silver lol.

Had this but sold it this morning…spent a long time verifying the signature. Adam West was one of those who didn’t have a consistent signature thruout his life. One thing I love about this job is that I get to play detective a lot lol. I’m basically a combo of Indiana Jones & Magnum PI.

May The Fourth Be With You! Lots of Star Wars stuff added! Also added a few vintage Madison items and other fun stuff!

Sold all my lighted beer signs, so here’s some various beer placemats from the 1950s-70s…Hamm’s, Pabst Blue Ribbon, Old Style, all framed! I’ve got a bunch of them, so if they all sell out today I’ll have more tomorrow!

Also found a cool mid-century Junghans chiming clock that I’ve had hidden away for 5 years lol. Works, great shape…except it looks like there’s a shadow of where the hands didn’t move for 40 years…probably made by an atomic blast and this is all that survived!

I’ve been busy lol. I’ve had so many requests for vintage cameras, so I’ve got all shapes and sizes to add some retro elegance to your shelf and/or photographic talents!

More lights, including two huge ones with great shapes.

Lots of new things! Lots more to do! More uranium glass stuff, Viking Glass fruit, Viking Turtle, Orange Long Tail Bird, Viking/Rainbow Glass Owls, a couple more unique vases, etc.

My favorite new thing is a retro portable PA system…even has a fashionable mic neck holder lol

Should find out this week if I should be done with my hand physical therapy, so I don’t have to close early anymore!

All of the lights I posted yesterday have sold lol, added the one today with the blue light (clear shade).

I’ll continue to work on more…this is going to be the summer of lighting! Yes, I’m starting summer now, even tho it is currently snowing outside…

Finally getting to more lights!

Sold a ton of bigger vases during the Vintage Shop Hop, so added a few more red and orange ones….as well as other fun non-glass things!

The store is still a work in progress…my hand is getting better, so I’m able to do kore and more each week!

3D Magic Eye Jesus wanted me to remind you that I’ll be Closing at 3 pm Monday(s) for my hand physical therapy.

Can’t make a good fist yet, but they worked my fingers open enough so I can slap!

Thank you all who’ve stopped in and asked about it. I’m still surprised people care lol; it’s been a depressing 1-2 years with everything, so I do really appreciate all the positivity from customers!

Been busy restocking, so much more to do!

Lots of 1930s/40s Chalkware Carnival Statues, 1950s Woodbury Cosmetics Store Display Mirror and Compact Dispenser, and a comfy reclining barber chair (haven’t been able to look at the hydraulic parts because of my gimpy hand).

20% Off Everything except marked down items…marking down more stuff today!

Open 10-5pm thru Sunday.

Monday closing at 3pm.

Pretty sure this is the final hand surgery fun I’ll have to endure. Multiple trigger fingers fixed today, so I’ll be closed…possibly thru the weekend?

Now I’ll finally be able to do everything I haven’t been able to for over a year! Finish redoing the store, bring in stuff I’ve been deathly afraid to carry because they’re that great, and more!

Sorry for any inconvenience, many have mentioned they plan on coming from out of state in the next weeks and months, and with the Vintage Shop Hop next month, I was lucky to get it done now instead of trying to endure for another month.

Stay Tuned!

Unfortunately I need to be Closed Friday so I can go shake my fist again at the hand surgeon.

Open again Saturday!

Some of the recent fun things added include a bunch of 1970 Horror movie vomit bags (unused), 1960 13 Ghosts Viewer, 1961 The Mask Mystic Viewer…all original, not reproductions!

Also quite possibly the most disturbing clown thing I’ve ever had (the faces!), by Mattel!

Still attempting to restock/redo the store after the massive holiday season (and in between snowstorms, sinus infections, more unresolved hand surgery stuff), so excuse the mess!

**Closing at 4pm Friday 1/26**

Slowly restocking after the holidays…snowstorms…sinus infections…continued hand issues…

So here’s some Valentines stuff I discovered while putting away Christmas!

Still not better, BUT I finally know it’s sinus infection plus iron deficiency! (Also explains my wrinkled clothing….because I’m iron…deficient…)

Yes, I’ve been taking supplements, but they stopped absorbing properly and everything snowballed.

Explains why I’m not getting better…the combination is just horrid, makes all the symptoms worse.

Open again Thursday…believe me, I’ve tried to open on the couple of non-snowmageddon days, but it really is debilitating.

Alas, one more day closed. Had no sleep, but half better.

Massive migraine/sinus with a bit of flu thrown in. No positive Covid tests, yet this all has been so debilitating.

I’m so very sorry!

Open again Sunday, and will be Open Monday, MLK Day…just in time for the arctic temps!

My head is still exploding, so need to be Closed Thursday. Hopefully open Friday, definitely open this weekend!

Well, I made it as long as I could, but need to close for the day…feeling worse, so I know I’ll be closed Monday as well.

This sinus stuff happens EVERY year at this time, and this upcoming snowstorm is making it worse.

Apparently we might get 1-12”, so everyone be safe!

Severe sinus crud is really messing with me bad today, so very sorry, I need to close for the day!

Thank you WI State Journal for featuring Retro Revolution, Meep Meepleton's World of Fun, and Atomic Antiques!

I actually haven’t seen myself on video in a long time…I realized I have an accent. I sound so much better in my oddly shaped head. Pretty sure I was dropped on my head as a baby, so I blame that.
