on a side note...

things have been super hectic around here (trying to squeeze out a complete wedding invite suite, me *possibly* having a job, continuing the process of baking all of our bread, pasta, etc and fighting with my computer, among other things) So a long blog entry isn't in the cards for today.  However, I found a fun little site the other day for all of your retro/eclectic goodies:

I found it while looking for the "keep calm and carry on posters," which I fell in love with while I visited the V&A museum in London this past summer, but then I couldnt find any affordable versions of the prints while back in the US.  This site doesn't just have them, but also has a vintage "How-To" book section, which is one of my not-so-secret collecting obsessions. 

So peruse and enjoy!

PS - we receieved our final wedding gift yesterday -
