Nan C. Moorehead Paper Doll Discount List
Nan C. Moorehead sent this six- page list right before I went away on vacation -- my apologies for this delayed posting. I know many of you look forward to Nan's lists. A new one will be forthcoming in June.
Lots of celebrities, some greeting cards; most prices have been lowered. Make sure you call Nan before sending money, to make sure the item is still available.

Makers & Millinery catalog, March 1904 -- part I
Another Arezzo find: a catalog of hats, undergarments and other accessories. The first pages are devoted to men's hats. On the last page posted here, "Fantasia" is listed as a child's jaunty beret, recognizable from many an old photograph of a child dressed in his or her Sunday best.
Men had so many fashionable hat choices in 1904!

Italian Journey 2013
Some pictures from my trip to Italy. Above and below, scenes from an antiques market that flowed through the lovely streets of Arezzo.
A fashion print in Firenze.
In Turin: A book cover collage that incorporates modern bar codes and other contemporary papers, which I thought was cool, given that we don't value new ephemera as we do the old. But one day we will.
