Mad About "Mad Men"

Are you eagerly awaiting the season debut of Mad Men?  Would you like some inspiration for a fun "Mad Men" themed viewing party or a Retro Birthday party?  I've been holding on to this post submitted by Lekiah of Events-ualities, for months waiting for the return of the season, to share it.
Lekiah participated in a local chef's showcase/fund raising event in which each table is designed by someone different, following a single theme.  The theme this year was "New York State of Mind" and she chose the show Mad Men which takes place there.  The table setting pays homage to the lifestyle of the early 60's and some great retro pieces from the time.
What a great centerpiece the old lamp makes.  And the use of the rotary phone and old typewriter just puts a smile on my face.  She also included Sterling Cooper letterhead, business cards, and menu cards each with a different character on it.

My parents used to have lamps almost exactly like that. I always thought they were so ugly...now they'd be cool to have!
