It's been quite a while since my last post. I don't know if this marks a return or not, but when I came across this site, I had to share it with the couple of you who have me in an rss feed. Check out the section on Space Themed Playgrounds:

The numerous odes to 70s toys, such as, The Ideal Star Team, Star Wars Rip-Off toys

SECRET FUN BLOG
So much Halloween fun over at secret fun blog. I love his historical look back at the evolution of his own Halloween costumes over the years, and the tragedy of the fantastic Ghostbuster costume. Lots of other fun throughout.

BlueBook of Quality Merchandise 1970 - a photoset on Flickr

BlueBook of Quality Merchandise 1970 - a photoset on Flickr
This great book has recently come into our possession and I shot a few pics of a few pages. The book contains just about everything you could want or need in 1970 starting with with your engagement rings and other jewlery through setting up your home with dirilyte gold-hued flatware and bedding, entertaining with barware and record players, and finally you might get to enjoy some sporting goods at the end. Here are just a few of the shots that amused me. Let me know if you have any requests, this thing is almost 1,000 pages long and I only shot 25 so far.
