Great Food Themed Posters of the Great War







I copied a few posters from The U.S. Food Administration to illustrate some of the "Great Posters of the Great War" Click on the link if you are interested in the title, artist, date, etc. I think they are still very timely even though they are almost 100 years old, don't you?

Greetings from Webster

Can you tell that the Wonder Dog is feeling better by his expression of total contentment while lounging on my bed this morning? I love the way he arranges the pillows just the way he wants them before settling in. He has one more week of pills to make sure whatever he had is gone forever. The fur is starting to grow back on the top of his paw and he really is acting like his old self again. I'm thrilled as you can well imagine. He send his best regards to his fan club.

Button Hearts

Button Hearts This is a pretty hanging Valentine heart beautifully crafted using mother of pearl buttons strung with wire. Why not go to your button drawer and see if you have enough of your own to make one of these yourself. Let me know if you do. Sometimes I buy garments at rummage and garage sales just for the buttons.

Nice Garage Barn Outbuilding

I thought this was Garage/Barn/Outbuilding that anyone would be pleased to own. I've never been a fan of attached garages. What about you? Via

Illustrated Quote from Winnie the Pooh


A family photo album including a picture of Pooh author AA Milne's son Christopher Robin when he was 6 years old fetched £3,500 at auction in 2004.
“If ever there is a tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart -- I'll always be with you.” Christopher Robin to Winnie the Pooh
