From Tiki gods to rock 'n' rollers, this book by Banar Designs is sure to be popular with those longing to go back to earlier times. There are cowboy designs for the little tikes, 1950s aprons for retro entertaining, 50s felines, south of the border images, lots of flower power posies and butterflies, and four stylish alphabets.
