Here are some wonderful advertisements that I've found around the Internet. I thought I'd share them for Pink Saturday and Think Pink Sunday.

Ok I know this started about about innocent ads, but advertising can be potent. It's interesting how time and the more we know changes our views on things (like cigarettes) in the world. I'm glad that there are stricter laws about smoking. I'm sure I've had enough, 2nd hand smoke, in my life time.

Hi there, visiting from PS! I love to find old mags just to see the ads! so much fun! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for your generosity. The labels and ads are just wonderful!
The labels are pretty. I think the Strawberry label is my favorite....yes, it's interesting to look back at the tobacco ads and how they portrayed such innocence about smoking. Time took care of that, didn't it?
Pink Sparkles for your week,

Hi there! Do you know if they make any plugins to assist with SEO?
I'm trying to get my blog to rank for some targeted keywords but I'm not seeing very good gains.
If you know of any please share. Cheers!
