If you remember this TV show from the 1970s, you will recall Mary’s best friend was Rhoda.
Rhoda was a window dresser or display artist as it was called then and had fun unique wardrobe made up of quirky 70s pieces and older vintage clothing and accessories. She had a great style and was the Bohemian to Mary’s preppy classic style.
I loved her mix of vintage clothing, accessories and home decor worked in with the modern 70s. I also liked her profession.
I eventually did grow up to be like Rhoda and worked in visual merchandising(display) for 13 years.
Here are a few pieces from my shops that I think Rhoda would have worn. Enjoy!

I found this old vintage advertisment in a 1937 magazine and it made me chuckle.
This is an ad for a feminine product that was rather advanced in the 30s, but the name of the product is a take on my shop name.
Bettes Bargains.
A full month’s supply for 25 cents!
“Wearing B-ettes makes every normal activity easier and pleasanter—you can even bathe during the period you wear B-ettes.”
Guaranteed by Good Housekeeping.
