Christmas In July 2015

How Hot is It???


It's hotter than....
a pig on a flapjack.
a firecracker lit on both ends.
the Devil's armpit.

It's so hot.....
you could fry an egg on an ice cube.
the trees are whistling for dogs.
you could roast marshmallows on your belly.
you could eat hot peppers to cool off your mouth.
you can make Instant Sun Tea.
the chickens are laying hard boiled eggs 



Forget about that hot weather for now and enjoy some great items from the Vintage Vertigo Team members. Remember to click on the image or link for further information about each item. Here's a little holiday music to get you in the mood! And perhaps a snow scene will help cool you off....

 





Remember when it was like this......




Snow piled high.... more snow than you knew what to do with.  Alright, well not all of you had snow.... those who live in our southern states can only imagine what it might be like. In fact you might be craving some of those cool temperatures about now.




So, come with me as we enjoy some Christmas In July offerings!

The June Bride Wears Vintage






June has always been the most popular month for weddings. Here are a few ideas of why this month is so popular. . .

The month of June derives its name from Juno, the Roman goddess of marriage. It was thought that couples who married in June would be blessed with prosperity and happiness.

The 1948 movie “June Bride,” starring Bette Davis and Robert Montgomery, reinforced the connection of weddings and the month of June.

The 1954 musical “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” continued to reinforce this tradition with the song “June bride.”  Check out the lyrics below!


“Oh, they say when you marry in June you're a bride all your life,
and the bridegroom who marries in June gets a sweet-heart for a wife.
Winter weddings can be gay like a Christmas holiday,
but the JUNE BRIDE hears the song of a spring that lasts all summer long.
By the light of the silvery moon, home you ride side by side 
7 Brides with the echo of Mendelssohn's tune in your hearts as you ride.
For they say when you marry in June you will always be a bride.”

-- “June Bride” from the movie “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers”
