Choosing Her Favorite

What to do when you have a 2-year-old who sings along to Beatles songs? Well, aside from enjoying her good taste, I got her a set of these sweet finger puppets by Tracy Budrow. Even though she won't admit it yet, I think Ringo is her favorite.

Playing Poker with Tarot Cards

It's all Mad Men all the time this week. I'll be watching as many clips and old episodes as I can get my hands on, taking in charming podcasts and interviews while I'm at it. I'm selling these tarot postcards and playing cards at my shop. Just don't get them mixed up à la Steven Wright.

Double Takes

Lately I've been needing to slow down, so I've been gravitating towards taking pictures with my Holga. Sometimes you need a break from the mental gymnastics of setting the perfect exposure. Of course I've been slowing down so much that I often forget to advance the film, resulting in more than a few accidental double exposures. These flickr images are inspiring me to plan some for a change. (Click on the images for the sources.)

Interiors

Cinderellas, Castles and Carousels

Our first trip to Disney World with our little one. Watching this after days full of princess meet-and-greets was the perfect medicine.
