hubby runs over today
says we have to come over
to see the piece of Americana he has uncovered
and oh yes what a find
apparently this was a popular pattern in the 50's
my age....
It's a shame vinyl took over and was a main factor in linoleum's downfall.
It's an extra shame too b/c linoleum is a naturally environmentally friendly product,
has naturally antibacterial properties,
and is anti-static (doesn't attract dirt or dust!)
...whereas vinyl is now thought by many to be potentially
hazardous to people's health-
it might just be following the same story line of asbestos and lead paint...
