My daughter took these photos
yesterday in Manhattan!
The beauty was short-lived
because today they had to
throw down the salt!

Mr. Thornton left his hat.
Last Sunday I made my way through the crowded Veterans Stadium. The weather was obviously on the cool and cloudy side. I was thinking about England and then my gaze fell upon this hat!
Tea Towel of the Month: February
During the summer of '97 my daughter and I spent 8 weeks in London while I worked on my masters thesis! We were waiting for a train on the Bakerloo Line and an old one just like this pulled into the station. I remember telling my daughter that this might be our only opportunity to ride on such an old train! I scored this tea towel from that cute blonde German lady who sells at the long Beach and Torrance markets! I even talked her down two bucks!

Time for Some Retro Czech Design
Wow! I am immediately drawn to anything designed by the Czechs. I remember that apartment in the late Metropolitan Home that was so "drop dead gorgeous"!
De kuji vam Retro Czechs!

The Flickr Cure (I'm sick)
Elizabeth Moriarty has a delicious little set of streamline modern houses on flickr. I cringe at the word tear-down and salute these Brits who care to restore these gems.
As a child, each time I visited my Aunt Audrey in Canon's Park in I noted the gradual disappearance of these sugar cube houses. One beautiful house on Chestnut Avenue was replaced with a "french country" styled house.
