The fan pictured above may seem like it's an advertisment for ping pong, but, it's actually an advertisment for a "Boy's and Men's Outfitters".

This is a 1960's Austrian poster.
I think that this is an advertisment for kayaking.
This and thousands of other vintage posters are available over at the renowned Chisholm Larsson Gallery (after clicking on the link, you will find the poster located towards the bottom of the page).
Isn't it a fun viewpoint that we have of this lady!
I like that we see her bending forward fastening her shoe.

Shoes: A Celebration of Pumps, Sandals, Slippers & More by Linda O'Keefe and Handbags: The Power of the Purse by Anna Johnson are both essential books for any fashion and vintage lover to own.
These books offer up a jaw dropping collection of their title wares.
This is such an incredible postcard!
It has the most dense embroidery that I have ever seen on this type of postcard!
Embroidered postcards became popular during the turn of the last century. These older ones are harder to find and are more valuable than the ones from the 50's and 60's.
For me, these Spanish postcards perfectly combine my love of vintage clothing and vintage postcards together.
You can obviously read on the postcard above, that you can purchase it and many other lovely embroidered postcards over at VintagePostcards.com.
Is it just me or did they used to have much more fun and inventive covers for fashion magazines?
It seems like nowadays American fashion magazines usually just have a rather boring picture of some celebrity on their covers.
I know that more quirky and unusual covers are out there (Italian Vogue), but, it seems for the most part the creativity of fashion magazine covers just doesn't exist anymore.
I scoured through my ephemera bookmarks and found some fun magazine covers to share with you.
This artfully done 1946 McCall's can be purchased over at Vintage Martini.
Mr. Claus is looking rather dubiously at the chicly dressed young lady who is trying to get her claws into him.
