1952 – Tender Leaf Smiling Cups

Fifties Kitsch at its best

Like it lively? If so, you’re in for a treat. Today’s post comes from a 1952 ad for Tender Leaf tea. Our little friends are smiling and winking at us. One has a bow tie, the other a pearl necklace. This is fifties kitsch at its best!

Tender Leaf Tea Ad – Every Woman’s magazine October 1952

The ad is for Tender Leaf tea. It is interesting that in 1952, the idea of individually wrapped tea bags was a new concept.

My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's
