Extreme Cuteness

It’s fun when stuff I ordered over a month ago comes in the mail & we get to open it up & play with it. Look at all these cute tiny things! Notebooks, pencil cases, pocket mirrors, bags, cards, all with slightly odd Japanese writing & adorable pictures. I feel that these things would make [...]

Naked Lady Party

By Cristin | Published: July 12, 2011

It all started with taking a picture of this Esquire magazine from 1950. I haven’t delved into it too far yet, but a cursory scan of the table of contents reveals articles with titles like “One More Martini”  and “Grandfather Liked Them Gory.”  There’s an F. Scott Fitzgerald short story too! We like to park [...]
