- Thank you to everyone who popped by the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest this past weekend! Just a reminder that the storefront on Foster Road will be closing permanently at the end of this month, and that this Friday the 29th of March from Noon to 6pm, I'm holding a 50% off sale on everything in the store. A few tables of $1 and 50 cent items as well as I cull some of my housewares in my collection. Lots of cups, plates, cookware and other kitchen goods. My original intent was to open a kitchen consignment store in Portland, but that idea is on the back burner for now. I'll still be selling via Etsy, Portland Flea and other events, and I'm looking to work with other Mid Century stores in the NW to stock my vintage kitchen finds.. Thank you for your support of local business folks and for buying vintage goods! xo Timothy..

You'll still be able to find F & J finds online through Etsy and the website http://www.flotsamjetson.com. I have a booth at the Plucky Maidens Junk Fest March 23rd and Portland Flea on April 21st.

- Back in the 70's Andy was doing adverts for Braniff Airlines. New Mexico architect Alexander Girard, Italian fashion designer Emilio Pucci, and shoe designer Beth Levine were called in to remake the airline in a modernist fashion, and with this new creative talent, Braniff began the "End of the Plain Plane" campaign. Sadly, the airline closed down in the 80's due to deregulation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75wlL1K4RNI
- I love using trivets on my dining room table. Keeps the heat away from the wood finish. Plus they add a little color! http://t.co/ja9NVqGT

- The history of wrapping paper in America started in 1917, but it goes back to Japan, China and around the 1600's. The 2.6 billion dollar wrapping paper industry creates 4 million tons of trash every year. Which is another reason to look for either papers with recycled content in them or vintage wrapping paper. I'm going to add this to my "lookout for" list on my travels. http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/12/wrappers-delight-a-brief-history-of-wrapping-paper/266599/
