Saturday Night

This is how I WISH I used my dining room table on Saturday nights. (Source: Eddie Ross)


But this is how I REALLY used my dining room table this past Saturday night! *sigh*

300 gocco'd cocktail napkins=a productive, albeit not FUN, Saturday night at my house.

Vintage Newspaper Fun Finds

As you may remember, I designed retro-looking invitations for our Rehearsal Dinner and lined the envelopes with vintage newsprint. I sell the invitations in my etsy shop, and they have been incredibly popular. So lately, I've been spending lots of time getting my fingers inky going through old newspapers. In my search for perfect envelope liners, I frequently come across some pretty interesting stuff. Some of the things I've seen make me wonder what it would've been like to be a young woman entering adulthood in the early 60's. Some of the things just make me laugh. I plan on sharing the interesting, funny, and weird articles and ads with you. So you'll see for yourself.



Let's start with this one.



You want one, don't you?

I'd have to put this one into the WEIRD category.

Technology or Sticky Notes?



So, I have a "Smartphone" that can do anything. I can get my email, access the internet, read word documents, manage my calendar, etcetera etcetera...
Well, then why is it that to remind myself to get a new book of checks to put into my checkbook, I stick a STICKY NOTE to the back of my phone?

Am I the only one who has the technology literally at my fingertips but doesn't take advantage of it???
