the kids are alright

True fact: my store has lotsa cute stuff old images of cute kids, to wit:
First, a disclaimer: You probably know this already, but the watermarks appear only as a means of protecting YOU from flying monkeys.  They do not appear on the actual items.

Back to to wit:

mug depicting little girl playing school with her dolls
 =======================================================================

SUPER cute pillow, no?
YES.
======================================================================

Come out and play!
 Or stay home and put the above jigsaw puzzle together.
==================================================================

Let's jump rope!
And when were done doing that, lets relax with the above pillow.
============================================================================

two boys, one dog on a tapestry 
========================================================================

boys from the hood + one adult from the hood on a messenger-style bag
-================================================================

Let's sing! on/about/with this notebook
==================================================================

more super cuteness!!
 
 in jigsaw puzzle form
=========================================================================

the urban cowboy graces a mouse pad
=========================================================================

Victorian baby button 
True fact: although contemporary folks would automatically assume the Victorian baby gracing the Victorian baby button is a girl, it could also be a boy.  The Victorians dressed their babies - both boys and girls - equally elaborately, and often boys would be in dresses - however dresses which looked nothing like what little girls wore - until they were age three or so.  
=======================================================================

It's time for castor oil, the bane of many an oldtime childhood,
in clock form.
=======================================================================

in the kitchen again

I was supposed to post more kitchen-ey stuff on Friday, but I got side-tracked by a new job, and forgot ALL about it.

But I'm back.  With kitchen stuff.

This time, we got refrigerator magnets.

We got beautiful horses

We got cute kids

We got very scary magnets that will serve to remind you of your diet
OR ELSE!

in the kitchen

or 'in der Küche,' as the Germans would put it.

Took German in high school.  And college.  And another class thereafter.  You'll often hear me mutter 'Das interessiert mich nicht,' when the world attempts to compel me to see some awful chick flick, or watch some TV show I never heard of -- and the ones I've never heard of are growing exponentially in number- -, or do/see/hear something I'd prefer to forego.

Anyway, the kitchen...

kitchen towels aka dish towels we got:

towels with old advertising prints

towels with 19th century farm animal prints

towels with triplets

towels for the Celtic kitchen

Something for the Indian decor, Western decor, or overall awesomeness decor

See 100+ more kitchen towels aka dish towels here:

Come back tomorrow to see more kitchen-ey stuff !!
