Bridge Tally, ca. 1920s


Bridge tallies are one of my favorite things to find at a paper doll convention. The colors and artwork are wonderful.  Amazing how common these tallies were at one time.

The Chestnut Vendor, 14th Street, woodcut, ca. 1930s


This 4x4 print appear to have been removed from a book; there's no printing on the back. 
It has a perfect November kind of mood about it.

Special Exhibits: Pat Rooney's vintage closet

Pat Rooney saved her outfits from the 1960s-early 1970s -- and we are glad she did!




Who can forget the platform shoes?


Sweet Mary Janes in bright orange.

Beaded handbags were trendy.

A fabulous velvet minidress with large white collar. 


I'm betting this poster hung in Pat's room.
