Doing the ‘Celebs and Cats!’ post, I included a pic of Kim Novak and her beloved feline, finding a plethora of other AMAZING picures of Novak and her kitties. She should be in the Guiness book for ‘Most often photographed with cats’ in the world.
And how about these super creepy blue ones?

I am so in love with these covers, designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith. I’m pretty late on posting about this. The funny thing is, months ago I remember seeing a photo of these covers somewhere–maybe Flickr or something– but thinking they were just a beautiful photo of some vintage, out-of-print books. After finally being [...]

One lonely day ago, one month ago, I checked the Moldy Doily, hoping to gain some sense of stability in this crazy world, only to find a fresh post that she was awarding Holiday card Paper dolls to the first 20 who reply. I jumped to life and replied, and checking my email a short [...]

Wondering aimlessly through ebay can get you in trouble. Luckily I’ve shown restraint lately and refrained from buying these ridiculously self-gratifying pleasures:
A reversible cape made from 50 year old Japanese Kimonos??!!
A nearly full Vintage bottle of Chanel No.5
Vintage Hobnail perfume bottle

1. Amazing old timey stamps, starting at $2.50. For something more personal, opt for their custom made option. These Alice and Wonderland stamps should convince you:
2. For the pricey investment piece: the lion head bangle. Gold plated and based on Cypriot bracelets from 450 BC, its a piece of art available through the Met Musuem of NY. $130.00 each.

I’m crazy about these rare photographs of the Beatles circa 1967 and wanted to share. The colors and composition are definitely fodder for some stuff I have in the works right now. I’m also crazy about John’s pink Victorian military jacket (below). Cropped and fitted victorian style military jackets certainly have [...]

Yes, the above post title is an allusion to the worst/best TV sit-com of all time.
Moving on…
I love tiny things… especially tiny staged art scenes. If you do too, you must check out Little People– and its companion Inner City Snail.

I’ve always loved Victorian hair jewelry. I used to have an antique ring that my grandma picked up at an auction that had a lock of hair in it. Yes, on some level it sounds disgusting wearing someone’s hair on your hand or around your neck…. but, the tradition is that a lock of a loved one’s [...]

For artists who are always looking for new faces to draw, The Sartorialist is invaluable. From my computer I can find faces from manhattan, paris, new delhi, etc to inspire my drawings by visiting the site.
