The best retro links!

Check out these other Boomer-related sites:

Cool stuff to buy:

Jack and Friends is a great site, though it's more 50s and even some 40s. But, some boomers were around then and others had 50s kitchens even if they were growing up in the 60s. I love the laundry room products as well. Check it out.

Repro depot is full of reproductions from our past. Fabric, ribbon, tablecloths, buttons and patterns.

On rickrack you'll find 300 vintage cotton print fabrics for sewing, quilting and antique quilt restoration! Plus more antique textiles: Vintage kitchen linens, aprons, hankies, even fine antique quilts and tops!

This is a UK company, but still worth a look, especially if you're a fan of 70s patterns.

General Boomer topics:

www.aginghipsters.com

This is one of Betty's fave site names. Aging Hipsters covers trends, research, comment and discussion of and by people born from 1946 - 1964 and includes articles and bulletin boards on Boomer culture and issues.

www.bbhq.com

This very busy site, Baby Boomer Headquarters, features trivia, books, lyrics, music, and memories of the most exciting decades of the century: the 50s, 60s and 70s. They offer an online high school reunion registry and tons of factoids and tidbits about Boomers.

The Boomer Initiative states its mission is "to unite the Boomers much as AARP has united the retired people, but much more" and they offer membership into their group, that they say includes a magazine. We'll get the publication and let you know what it's all about.

This is a site developed and written by "baby boomer women expert," Dotsie Bregel. She says her site "offers a safe and therapeutic haven for baby boomer women to share what's on their hearts anonymously and without judgment. Wise, warm, and witty women with kindred spirits share thoughtful insight every day. Encourage-Connect-Support."

Dotsie also founded an organization for boomer women, the National Association of Baby Boomer Women that also has a website: www.nabbw.com/
