Weekly Obsession: Vintage Football

Apr. 23 09

Raise your hand if you’re totally pumped about the NFL draft this coming weekend!  Hello? Okay, I totally freaked you out.  But wait: I’m not one of those football fanatics who creates theme rooms, okay? I realize there are ways to show off my all-consuming obsessions with tact rather than tack.  One of my favorite ways to do this: antique photos.

They create a nice way to liven up a living space without having to paint it team colors.

And if you want to bring an early love of the sport to your little one, drop the team themed teddy bears and dig these:

Not quite there with the baby yet?  No worries.  The easiest place to find vintage football gear is in the party category.  Are you “game” for “a real kicker”?
