Mary Jane


Just so happens that Mary Jane loves to wear Mary Janes. Funny how that happens sometimes ;) Hope it's not too obvious I had a hard time coming up with a title for this one.

Lucky Dolls


Lizzie has been playing quite a bit with paper dolls recently. I pulled out my collection of paper dolls to show her the other day and thought I'd share some here while I was at it. These "Lucky Dolls" from Japan (circa 1950's-ish?) were her favorites. Their wonky offset perforations and vibrant coloring is totally endearing.

Acme Building Blocks



How about some architectural eye-candy this morning? This incredible set of building blocks was manufactured by Acme of Japan. Talk about color 'n detail! I'm especially loving the pops of hot pink and that front door is absolutely sweeeeet.
