Yes, that is a real Eames chair. And it's red.

Late 60's Modern
How about a little late 60's modern decor to start the weekend off right? (And to get me ready for some serious estate sale hunting). All images from Volumes 1-3 of The Practical Encyclopedia of Good Decorating and Home Improvement, available here.

If this van is a' rockin'...
Don't come a' knockin'...
I would totally drive this. (Oh the Eames chairs I could fit in there). Source

Personalized Wedding Maps
Talented artist, writer, and blogger Natty Michelle is offering personalized wedding maps in her Etsy shop for only $50. Adorable, affordable, and quite a special keepsake for your wedding album or to frame and hang on your wall.
Seriously?
Bruce Willis has a new line of cologne (plus hair and body wash, deodorant, and aftershave balm), unimaginatively called simply "Bruce Willis". My husband said they should have called it "The Sixth Scent".

Sputnik
I'm so very envious of RetroRuth's Sputnik fixture (but also genuinely excited for her).

Embroidered Map Necklaces
I dig these cool embroidered map necklaces from ilgattoselvatico, first spotted on So About What I Said.

Technical difficulties
As with many others, I noticed that much of the day my blog has been experiencing trouble with comments disappearing then reappearing, or possibly not showing up at all. My most sincere apologies, and here's hoping that blogger will have the problem fixed quickly.

Shop updates: Alexander Girard, Eames & Dansk
My house is overflowing with inventory just waiting to be listed, and I've recently updated the eBay and Etsy shops with some great new stuff including a 1960's Eames armshell chair with Checker Alexander Girard upholstery and a large Dansk Ice Bucket.
I've been re-working the blog, it's still a work in progress. Does anyone see problems with alignment? Suggestions for improvement?
P.S. A happy belated Independence day to my fellow Americans! I had a patriotic post prepared in advance, but forgot to run it. Oops! Did everyone have a nice weekend? Mine was filled with family, fun, and yummy picnic food (I will have to get lots of exercise this week to work off the thousands of calories - totally worth it!)

The weekend...
My weekend is packed with activities, including two out of town family get-togethers (different towns). This summer is turning out to be crazy busy - I'm behind on work, blog reading, and "me" time, though I'm enjoying fun visits with family and friends. By the way, thanks to all of you for leaving your reading suggestions in comments of this post.
My poor yard has been a little neglected of late. I cut some dwarf zinnias and made a cheery little arrangement for the dining room table. Oh, and I forgot to share the news that we have baby birds again this year! I'll try to snap some pics over the weekend. I named last year's pair "Bert" and Ernie", and I'm taking name suggestions for this year's fledglings.
What is everyone else up to this holiday weekend? Have a great time, and stay safe!

Wonder Woman!
Recent rumors of a Wonder Woman Movie have been circulating on the web, complete with the "who will play her?" blog posts proposing Megan Fox, Katie Holmes, Jessica Biel, or even Beyonce. Sorry, but in my mind no one can compare to Linda Carter.
Wonder Woman rocks. I had the underoos to prove what a hard-core fan I was. My cousin had the bathing suit. I was green with envy.
And I'm not so sure I like the new costume that was just unveiled in the 600th issue of the comic book, "modernized" so that today's comic book readers can better relate to her.
I much prefer the spangled hot pants...
Or the original skirt and red go-go boots...
The Cathode Ray Choob posted an awesome article about Wonder Woman here. After reading it, I felt so nostalgiac that I added Season 1 to my Netflix queue.
