I've been a very bad blogger lately, so in order to catch up with all of my finds in the simplest and most productive way, I'm posting a smorgasbord of design, art, and decor for your enjoyment.  Mainly because it would take me another 3 weeks to decide how I want to sort them.  Hope you enjoy!

vintage printage

so, in case you didn't know, i am kind of obsessed with vintage memorabilia. mainly because i wish i were alive in the 1950s.

i found an amazing site called plan59 that has TONS of old vintage ads. it was so hard to select from this massive pool of archives, but i chose some sample prints that really capture the essence and style of this time period.
