Chillin' with Dylan

How have I not seen this poster before?

I like Bob Dylan and it appears to be an iconic image of him so I'm amazed I'm only really 'seeing' it for the first time.

Artist, Milton Glaser, created the poster in 1966, inspired by Marcel Duchamp's 1957 self portrait:

The poster was folded and packaged with Dylan's greatest hits LP - the folds are now a way of identifying the originals from reproduction. (source)

I have found an A3 reproduction for £7.50 - the only thing giving me pause is where I'll hang it.

My original source of inspiration was in this picture:

Orange Shmorange

I've been hunting for patterned sheets for a few years now and they just don't seem to 'do' them here in England.  I still wish I had bought the ones I found in New York a couple years ago but it was during a huge snow storm and we were worried about whether we'd need the money (Airports were closed with no indication of when they'd open and hotels had hiked up their rates).
Until then, I could handle this bright orange duvet cover set in my bedroom.  I already have a set of orange sheets but this set from habitat really POPS.

Wait'll You See My Gidget

It's that time of year again.  The time where I want to watch all the episodes of Gidget back to back or at least have it on in the background while I get on with other stuff.  It's so bright and cheery and colourful that it gives me those happy, summery feelings.

This black and white photo of Sally Field is not bright, cheery or colourful but it still makes me want to rewatch every episode.  Sally Field - the perfect choice for the Gidget television series.

Looking at this West Bend coffee urn from the 70s makes me happy and I don't even drink coffee!
There's one for sale on ebay if you're keen.
