I have some exciting news to share…One of my photos was featured in the November issue of Cottages & Bungalows magazine! I even got to write an article all about vintage typewriter and decorating with them. Click the photo for a larger view. Happy weekend!

I woke up today feeling less than healthy…sore throat, stuffy nose etc. So, while I’m taking it easy and napping the evening away, please enjoy these fashion and beauty ads that I scanned. They are from the November 1968 issue of Mademoiselle.

I was so excited to see Dita Von Teese’s vintage home inside the pages of the February issue of InStyle magazine. I’m loving everything about her home! Her kitchen is a girlie pink dream along with her vintage collections. Scroll down to read more on her collections of vintage hats, clothing, brooches and more. Click the images for a better look.

After spending most of my day with crazy dilated pupils, I can finally see my computer screen. I thought I would share these sweet as pie Betsy McCall paper dolls. All of these are from January issues of McCall’s magazine which featured Betsy every month through the 50s and 60s.

Mademoiselle’s Manhunt was a two-page pullout game featured in the magazine’s June 1963 issue. The rules were simple: “Take one die, any number of girls, and toss. Use shells, pebbles, anything small for markers. First girl home is first girl married.” Along the way, the “girls” move toward or away from the matrimonial finish line by landing on squares with directives like, “You didn’t put your perfume on this morning. Back to GO,” or, “You broil a great hotdog. Ahead 1.”

The best part is an item I’ve been lusting after for some time now. Readers of Mademoiselle could head to the department store and for $2 they could purchase a 23 inch square silk scarf with the Manhunt game printed on it! If only I could get my hands on one of these…until then the above photo will have to do.
