Picked up outside the Notre Dame de Senanque Abbey on a chilly fall day. Located in Gordes France, it was built in the 11th century and is still a working Abbey growing lavender for honey. The little leaf still survives pressed in a pamphlet from the Abbey. Back lit with a partial focus stack sharpening the tip but tapering into a blur at the base.
“There is delight in singing, though none hear beside the singer.” Quote of Walter Savage Landor. I believe the pamphlet re”Sing...” was given to customers by Sears Roebuck Company in late 1940’s or early 1950’s. I always enjoy having music going in kitchen...makes me want to tap my foot and move around!😊
1954 publication by Federated Publications (Battle Creek Enquirer and News, Grand Rapids Herald, Lansing State Journal). Illustrations by Claire L. Oliver of Battle Creek.
Reading some pamphlet while enjoying a coffee to go sitting at a shop window in the "new old town". Welcome in 2021. First roll for me with this Smena Symbol which looked all right from outside. The amound of flare and blur on many pictures made me look closer... oh boy, the lens' back element is covered with grime (and possibly fungus) on both side. Poor thing will need to be opened up. Otherwise, well, it sure is very basic, but it does the job.

Written by my sister:
This is a line photo I NEVER imagined was possible. For one thing, I didn't know that there were TWO different Twist 'n Style Tiffany dolls made! Actually, Shelly said that, after getting the pamphlet with the AA Tiffany, who was the first of these two I acquired, that seeing it jogged her memory and she remembers wanting her because she was so pretty! Apart from having no recollection that the second Tiffany doll existed, there are a couple other reasons I never imagined this was possible. For one thing, duh, my childhood blonde had been gone for between fifteen and twenty years! Along with that, even though I have fondly remembered my childhood Tiffany over the years and always regretted neglecting her then evicting her, it wasn't until I was nearly in my mid 30s that buying a doll like Tiffany seemed possible, because we previously stuck mostly to our niche of typical fashion dolls. So, the fact that this photo was able to exist is really amazing!
I believe it was Christmas Eve 1995 that my Auntie Kim, who has always picked the best gifts, presented me with Tiffany. She was the perfect playmate for a girl my age--old enough to want a doll to carry around as a friend, but not quite ready for an American Girl. In my younger hands, Tiffany seemed quite large. I loved her and, even though she's not a fashion doll in the traditional sense, I spent my allowance money on clothes just for her. When I got Molly a year later (if Tiffany was from 1995 as I believe), Tiffany was quite literally turfed out of her bed and cast aside. I've spoken more at length on the blonde Tiffany's individual photo about how I have deeply regretted how I disregarded my childhood Tiffany. She absolutely deserved better. Shelly adopted her for a time, but by the end of the summer, Shelly had achieved her goal of getting Addy, and also cast Tiffany away. After that, my childhood doll hung around the home, but not cared for, for many years. I believe I gave her to our neighbors at the end of high school. I think there was a part of me that did want to keep her, but Shelly had cut off a lot of her hair in attempt to fix it.
A lot of people had this CRAZY idea when we took a break from YouTube in 2021 that we were also taking a break from dolls. I joke all the time that, rather than growing out of Barbie/dolls/toys in general, I've gotten MORE into dolls as I've gotten older. I've definitely gotten more open to collecting a wider range and, due to the online shopping increase during the pandemic, also got more inclined to buying things I wouldn't have imagined buying five years previously. If anything, Shelly and I got MORE into dolls when we weren't filming videos. The same train of thought that started with "Wellie Wishers" led Shelly and I into two different directions. The Wellies made us both think of Tiffany, which, for me, led to a strong need to re-buy Tiffany and, for Shelly, led somehow to "I wish I still had my Cabbage Patch dolls." I'm not saying that I wasn't 100% supportive of the CPK dolls in the end and Shelly started pricing out Tiffany, anticipating a potential need for her, before she'd even run by me what those Wellies might be reminding me of so much. (Suffice it to say that our Camille doll, sitting naked on the table waiting for stain removal, wound up leading us to spending lots of money.)
Shelly discovered, during her quest to find the real name to my Tiffany (she didn't know that she actually came with the name Tiffany), that they also made an African American version! Both girls in this photo were actually listed on eBay in April 2021 when I started looking for a Tiffany. Only ONE other AA doll was pictured anywhere I could see online, and she was part of someone's doll family, not looking to be adopted. This one was available, but our logic was that, rather than bidding on her right away, I should wait for her to be relisted after no one else did. The thing about supply and demand--people have a warped view of what is "rare" in the doll world because they mix up "rare" and "desirable." I don't like to use the world rare to describe dolls, because 99.999% of the time it's not accurate. However, I would say the beauty on the right is rare--rare in the sense that not a lot of people have her listed. However, we knew that there probably weren't a lot of people out there looking for her. I knew I absolutely had to have her--she was a once in a lifetime opportunity to get something so special! So, I waited months for the price to keep dropping and made an offer for her early in the summer.
As for the blonde, she may have been listed and relisted even longer than the AA. She was actually quite complete and affordable. However, it was iffy as to whether or not her hair was cut. At some point, I forgot that we weren't sure and wrote her off as "the one with cut hair" whenever looking through Tiffany listings.
The African American Tiffany arrived, still in her original packaging. Even though she wasn't exactly the same as my childhood doll, the nostalgia was still HUGE. I mean, same outfit and accessories, same head and body molds, same molded earrings, even the same eye shadow! Shortly thereafter, Shelly realized that the otherwise perfect blonde did NOT have cut hair after all! She hadn't wanted to take a gamble on her before we had another Tiffany to compare the photos too. My sister's memory and attention to doll related detail far surpasses my own. She thought the hairline looked iffy, but also thought perhaps that was just the rooting. She never forgot/wrote off my blonde, but was just waiting until we had a minty specimen to compare her to! I was, and still am, delighted to have both these ladies!
I am, at heart, forever a child of the late 80s/early 90s! I love the bright colors and tacky designs. Even in the late and mid 90s, I already felt nostalgic for this style. I especially like the clash of the neon green on the pink. I love how her shoes, earrings, dress, and armband all have places to put beads and flowers! These girls have found a permanent and loving home with me. I still regret what happened with my original doll. However, even if I'd taken better care of her, I don't think she'd be as nice as the new blonde. Also, if I hadn't needed to replace my childhood doll, I don't think I'd have EVER rediscovered the existence of the AA! These ladies are living among my American Girls now, rather than being second class citizens. Due to the instability of Molly's old canopy bed, I find that the top holds a solitary AG very well, but it's probably not a good idea to put two up there. Because Courtney is not a Molly or friend of Molly and Rebecca has her own beach chair, she wound up taking up residency on the top layer. Because these beauties are so small in comparison, they are able to bunk with her! I think that could not be a more perfect combination--their styles and time period aren't too different. I like how looking in that corner of my room immediately takes me back to my favorite time period--and I can see two versions of a favorite childhood doll sitting side by side!

The BBC printed many thousands of leaflets and booklets and many are of design interest. This simple cover - just using one colour and the buff card is by one of the great 20th century designers, Edward McKnight Kauffer. The printing is also interesting in that the Kynoch Press, the printing arm of Imperial Chemical Industries, was a highly regarded print house who undertook work such as this for external bodies.

UPDATE: Several people got in touch with me and have said that the illustrator is most likely JP Miller. Thanks for the help, guys!
Look out for that step, Harold!

Handmade Nautical Chart Notebooks - I've collected LOTS of nautical charts over the years - its seems like as soon as one of my chart using scientist or sailor friends heard I was re-using them to make notebooks and journals, more and more found their way to me! I made some cute little sets of three books - these were also featured on the etsy blog as part of a post about packaging!
