How have I not seen this poster before? I like Bob Dylan and it appears to be an iconic image of him so I'm amazed I'm only really 'seeing' it for the first time. Artist, Milton Glaser, created the poster in 1966, inspired...Read More

I've been hunting for patterned sheets for a few years now and they just don't seem to 'do' them here in England.  I still wish I had bought the ones I found in New York a couple years ago but it was during...Read More

It's that time of year again.  The time where I want to watch all the episodes of Gidget back to back or at least have it on in the background while I get on with other stuff.  It's so bright and cheery and...Read More

image source: etsy seller, StephieD Looking at this West Bend coffee urn from the 70s makes me happy and I don't even drink coffee! There's one for sale on ebay if you're keen....Read More

Living in England makes tiki collecting difficult (and even more expensive) but I guess that's part of the fun.  I thought I'd post about some mugs I would like to have in my (admittedly small) collection.   Drinky via Ooga-Mooga! My most coveted...Read More

Original 1952 caption reads: "As Jernquist puts a finishing touch on one of the last dots, his neighbors (foreground) gaze in wonder at his multicolored home" Now THAT takes commitment! I saw this house on pinterest and went in search of the its...Read More

While casually browsing Pinterest, I found a picture which made me 'laugh out loud' literally. I don't really know what to say except that look on the kid's face is priceless! I clicked through and saw that it was pinned from the blog 'Inspiring...Read More

I'm still being slack at posting.  Sorry to anyone who misses me.  I guess I just have so much on my plate at the moment. Well, actually, in reality I have less on my plate because I've been trying to get myself fit...Read More

I am big into genealogy.  It ties in with my love for history. I'm not so much one for collecting names - I'm more into finding out about how people lived. Researching how my ancestors lived gives it that little bit more meaning...Read More

I miss my little blog and am determined to devote some attention to it. Until then... Have a very TIKI Christmas! ...Read More

As a big Tintin fan in my youth, I was overjoyed to see this familiar rocket adorning the front page of spotify. Tintin fans should recognise it but those unfamiliar with the graphic novels should swoon over its mid century, space age curves....Read More

Further to my Tea for Two post yesterday, I want a really cool teapot to go with my really cool tea infuser.  I have a couple vintage coffee pots but they're not quite what I'm after.   These new ones from Mod Cloth...Read More

I have been a bad, bad blogger... *hangs head in shame* So to get back in the swing of things I'm just gonna try to post stuff, even if it seems really random. For instance, I was in a tea shop today - I...Read More

How adorable is this chair?  The jade green cushion is perfect for me and it would match my planters (which you can see in my home a couple of posts ago).  If only I had the space for it.   It is currently available...Read More
