Some preservation-minded people turned this apartment building (330 Wythe) into a plea to save the Domino Sugar factory from destruction. Its landmark status is being considered now. Story from curbed.
This is my first attempt at designing and assembling save the date tickets for my destination wedding. Yes it was quite a process but I'm pretty happy with the results. Envelopes were made from vellum paper. They were scored, folded, and then embossed with two palm trees. The sleeves were made from sparkle merlot card stock, scored, folded, and embossed. The tickets were printed three to a sheet on Aspire Petallics metallic paper. The corners were rounded and sides were cut each by hand with an x-acto.

16-212 was part of a series of six Catalinas purchased from the US Navy in 1951. They were registered 16-211 through 16-216. Completely overhauled at Aviolanda Papendrecht, the aircraft were flown to New Guinea. Assigned to squadron 321. The 16-211 and 16-213 were lost in 1952 due to flying accidents.
In 1954, 16-212 and 16-216 were flown back to the Netherlands to replace the retired Supermarine Sea Otters of squadron 8 at Valkenburg Naval Air Station. The new task became SAR. On November 8, 1954, the first sea rescue mission was flown.
16-212 left the factory in 1944 with Patrol Bombing Squadron VPB73 of the US Navy. It was used for bombing and patrol flights over the Atlantic Ocean. About 1,600 flying hours have been made. In Dutch service another 1,340 will be added, so for a total of 2,940 flying hours.
On 4 February 1957 the aircraft was withdrawn from strength. Fortunately, it was not demolished, but started a new life as playground equipment at Bosbad Hoeven in Brabant. The Catalina has stood here for years. I myself can still remember a visit to this enormous playground with my primary school class. Unfortunately, the condition of the aircraft deteriorated and the maintenance costs became too high. The end was still looming: the rescue device now had to be rescued itself! Fortunately, Naval Aviation personnel took action. The Military Aviation Museum at Kamp van Zeist took the dismantled aircraft into its depot. Unfortunately, the splashing in the open air did not do the aircraft any good, action was needed again.
In the 1990s, it was again decided to refurbish the Naval Air Base Valkenburg. During this period, unfortunately, major damage was caused to the wings. During a storm, the wings stored in the open air were carried away on the wind. They were found badly damaged the next day. To prevent further damage, the fuselage, wings and engines were safely stored shortly afterwards at the brand new National Military Museum in Soesterberg.
In 2019, the only flightworthy Catalina in the Netherlands was sold to an American private individual and left the country. The Neptune Association Foundation, which maintains this aircraft, turned to the National Military Museum with an offer to refurbish the Catalina. To exhibitable condition. Flying will never be possible again, and that is not the ambition, but exhibiting is.
The National Military Museum, the Neptune Association foundation, and the National Transport Museum in Nieuw-Vennep, where the restoration is taking place, have joined forces for the project. It's a huge job but it would be so nice if it could succeed in the coming years.
I decided to make a quick, cheap 'save the date' cards with the theme of tying the knot
Pretty Basic: the center string has a heart paperclip to help hold the perferated calender to what ever you want. On the back of the card has the following instructions:
Remove calender at perforation. Use heart paperclip to attach calender to datebook. dog collar, sun visor, microwave or religious leader. And remember, request the weeknd of May 2nd off. REQUEST IT!!
Completely free to use image of the word save, as always, a link back to www.visioncreation.co.uk would be nice, but not required.
Place du Peyrou in the old town of Sarlat-la-Canéda with the bishop’s residence in the background on a hot day, Dordogne, France
Some background information:
Sarlat-la-Canéda is a commune in the southwestern French department of Dordogne, located in the administrative region of Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Sarlat and La Canéda were distinct towns until they were merged into one commune in 1965. Sarlat-la-Canéda is situated 7 kilometres (4.3 miles) north of the Dordogne river in the historic region known as Périgord Noir. It has less than 9,000 residents, but welcomes more than one million visitors each year because of its beautiful well-preserved old town.
The settlement of Sarlat develoved around an abbey that was founded between 820 and 838 by Pepin I, Duke of Aquitaine. In the 13th century, Sarlat become broadly independent and in 1317, Pope John XXII designated the town as the seat of a bishopric. The abbey church became the cathedral Saint-Sacerdos and the monks the cathedral chapter.
In the 13th century and also at the beginning of the 14th century Sarlat thrived as a trading town, but the events of the Hundred Years' War ruined the commune. Although it was never captured by English troops, it still fell into English hands in 1360, because that was defined in the Treaty of Brétigny. When fights rekindled in 1370, Sarlat sided with the French King Charles V and hence, was involved in the French recapture of the Périgord region in 1404. However, the victory was dearly bought, because the bishopric lay in ruins afterwards.
Reconstruction was taken on with no hesitation and most of the houses that still form Sarlat’s townscape date from the interval between 1450 and 1500 and hence, are built in Early Renaissance style. At the beginning of the 16th century, the church Sainte-Marie was completed, whose construction had already begun in 1368. In 1553, a bishop's residence in Italian style was built next to the cathedral. Because of Sarlat’s wealthy upper class that had developed around the bishop, the judges and the clerks, a flamboyant cultural life evolved.
But in the 17th century, Sarlat paled into political insignificance and impoverished increasingly. The structure of the buildings began to derelict, the town’s ramparts were dismantled in large part and the moats were filled up. However, the town’s poverty also saved it from being modernized. In 1962, a monument preservation law was passed by the French government and between 1964 and 1974, the town of Sarlat-la-Canéda was restored comprehensively.
In 2002, Sarlat‘s historic centre, with 77 protected monuments, was added to France's Tentative List for future nomination as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It consists of impeccably restored stone buildings and is largely car-free. Today, numerous visitors, especially from northern Europe and the US, come on holiday to Sarlat and the region surrounding it. And some of them have even settled there permanently.
One reason for that development is also the cuisine of the Périgord Noir region. Foie gras is produced in several large factories and also by many small producers. Other farms raise geese and ducks to produce other delicacies such as confits and pâté. Furthermore, agricultural commodities include corn, hay, walnuts, walnut oil, cheeses, wine, cèpes (a species of wild mushroom) and of course also truffles. Hence, it is safe to say that the Périgord Noir region provides sustenance.
A film festival has been held in Sarlat-la-Canéda every November since 1991. Other annual events include the Truffle Festival, the Christmas Market and the Theatre Games Festival.

This badge was issued in 1984/5 as part of a campaign against the proposed 1985 Transport Act. Campaigners were worried that de-regulation would kill off Northampton Transport. Almost 30 years later, they are about to be proved right. First have run down Northampton depot and the final end will be September 14th 2013.
