I've always liked old mini cards! These were given with various products (chocolate, chicory fake-coffee, also insurance companies...)

Apparently it has been unearthed from the massive earthquakes that destroyed it years ago. I find the timing very interesting - believe in 2012 lore or not - one of 'the' godesses w/ temple of all time has re-surfaced. A museum of all the underwater discoveries is in the works. It has been well preserved due to the saltwater. The learnings/discoveries from this will be quite interesting. I hope an anthropologist & archaeologist beyond the strictly academic veins are consulted as the museum comes together.

Enjoy... just in time for winter solstice!

( And a wide shot behind the cut... )

I decided that my family's fridge needed some magnets and after nearly 2 weeks of searching, I found some cute ones at borders. Problem is, they are not very strong. I was thinking of going to JoAnns or Michels to find some good magnets to glue to the back but I don't want to be duped again.

Does anyone know good brands of magnets?

Ohmigosh I'm freaking out!
I bought all my gifts on ebay!
And I'm so afraid that they won't be here in time for christmas!!
I just wanna make something cheap, and easy to tide everyone over till their gifts get here.

I can draw, I can do a lil hand sewing...


I thought of maybe just baking a bunch of cookies and putting them in gift bags.
But I don't know.

Can someone help me?
:/

I need some ideas!!

This is the Sears store at Don Mills and Steeles. I did a double-take that almost gave me whiplash!



This is why I carry a camera almost everywhere.

The recent posts of modern art nouveau-ish artwork, made me want to post these. I JUST posted them recently on laceandflora (sorry if you saw them there, too), but didn't even think to post them in here.
