Random art, film, design, decor, advertising and kitschy stuff from the 1900s to the 1970s that takes my fancy.

Ginger photographed at home in 1939. This rare, vivid photograph is up for auction in a few places right now, and I doubt it will be available for long. Look at our angel and her strawberry blonde hair.

ACTIVITY WALL resembles painting by Dutch abstractionist Piet Mondrian. Handless panels open when tapped lightly to reveal banks of cabinets designed to hold everything from Jeanne Robinson’s dress form and other sewinggear to movie reels and projector, model trains, radio-phonograph and a television set which slides out and swivels around for better view. One panel drops to form table. 1954
