Program & Ticket Stub: Diana Ross
The Valley Forge Music Fair in Devon, PA, outside of Philadelphia, was the venue for the Diana Ross concert. It was 1984, and I was a college senior. If you are not familiar with the Music Fair, it was a 'theater in the round' style venue with seating for 3000. I have never been a huge fan of Ms. Ross, but I attended the concert at the invitation of a college friend.

Pop-up Book: Harley Davidson
I fell in love with movable books back in the early 1970's. As an elementary school student I first learned of pop-up books at the school book fair. I recall being amazement at the mechanics of the books, and at the way the images jumped right out at me. However, the only book I purchased that day was HAPPINESS IS A WARM PUPPY, by Charles Schultz. The pop-up books were picked over by the time I

Postcard: Hearty Greeting
This black and white postcard was published by Schlesinger Bros. (New York) in 1912. Tulips are displayed in the foreground of the card, with a scene of a Dutch windmill in the background (see close-up below). The card reads, "HOW MANY HEARTS WITH THEE COMPARE, AS THE BLOSSOM SO SWEET, SO PURE, BE EVER WITH THEE FROM YEAR TO YEAR." To follow there is a drawing of a pair of wooden shoes.

Pretty in Pink
Decided to post something fun today... I just discovered this photo on my Blackberry. I took it last summer when I was shopping at Sophie Joe's Emporium in St. Paul, MN. I ended up buying this little number, because I thought it was so cute. I love girlie things like this, and I love seeing pink and black together. It's hanging in my closet, and holds some unmentionables. This was
