Finally a Holiday I can sink my teeth into falls on February 27. Can you guess what the holiday is? No, you can’t. Then I will tell you it’s National Retro Day #nationalretroday. I don’t know about you but I love retro furniture and phones and cameras and decorating my home with these items like this kitchen table which is like the one my grandmother had growing up and my mother in law and brother in law has for there homes. I’m telling you one day I will have a retro dinning room suit as well. I’m not sure I want red or white I believe I would like Malibu Dinette Set (americanchairs.com) in blue. How about you?
