piggyness and woolliness

just trying out this crunchy new feature where you can add these fabulous boxes on your blog... In case you need a lovely new book for a special person of small stature in your life...

(one is cuddly and cozy and in a real live actual box--and one is guaranteed to get any child laughing--as well as learning manners at the same time) (when does that ever happen? since when was hearing "ELBOWS" yelled at you from across your cornflakes exactly fun?)

OK that's enough of this plug... but they're cool right? (the books and the boxes)

week 18 JSB vid: "Operation 'No More Tears!' "

Operation "No More Tears!" from Jonathan Michael on Vimeo.

bakerlite (that's Phenol-formadlehyde to you)





projector from the 1930s
i want one
via NYT
where there are 300 objects from 1910-early 21st century on show

my toaster has Bakerlite handles on it


it's from 1949 and a version of it was on the cover of GE's catalog
how cool is that?

and it still works...
it has no seams and has two controls: one for light/darker slider; and one for keep warm/or pop up



i love toast
and toasters
and bakerlite
don't you?
(though those weird contraptions behind the breakfasting couple look like they come from torture chambers)

where AM I?

back to my site?
back to twitter?

back to my super duper blog?
