Not sure why I've never written about this before, as it's one of my favorite things in my bedroom. I got this ancient maps calendar at my favorite bookstore, Spoonbill & Sugartown . It's a small book shop that carries literature, handmade cards and postcards, artsy magazines, a huge collection of Moleskines and lots of design-related books. They definitely have a specific aesthetic and feel about...

These are magazine covers I scanned recently, from Taschen's "All-American Ads of the 30s" . Isn't it amazing that there doesn't appear to exist online a comprehensive history of vintage magazines, telling you basic things, like "This magazine existed from date such to date such", etc? Theatre Magazine , Miriam Hopkins , 1930s. Click image for 459 x 596 size. 9 more covers under the cut. The New Movie...

One of the most beautiful properties featured in the book is this amazing home in Positano, Italy. This 18th century villa was renovated in 2004 by Lazzarini Pickering Architteti, an [...]

More gorgeous ads by Fred L. Packer. Some were scanned from Taschen's "All-American Ads of the 20s" and "All-American Ads 1900-1919" ; and some were found on the internet. I hesitate to call his style art deco or art nouveau, because it looks something inbetween. I'm not sure if the first, second, and last ads are really by Packer, but I included them, because they seem so much his type of drawing....
