miss subway...

Some of you may have seen the introduction to this article on Etsy - but just in case you didn't...

This Meet Miss Subway project is very cool.

It's a great big then and now, which you know we love over here at Everton Terrace.

Click here and take a quick look at the Meet Miss Subways: New York's Beauty Queens 1941-1976.

I was especially impressed with the diversity of the women from the early years.  Would so love to view the entire exhibit.

Recently,  I received not one but two fun gifts in the mail from incredibly sweet blog friends.
People I've never met in person, but we share stories and blogs with each other - blog world rocks.
The very talented Gayle, from Two Square Dogs sent my sweet puppy, Tinley, a welcome gift.
How nice is that?!
Look how cool just the envelope was...

She is so creative - even those stamps are her own photographs.
Thanks again Gayle.

My riches continued as the clever and creative Cathy from Stitchfork Designs, sent me a great tote bag with my initials monogrammed on the side - very cool.  It's already been on 3 trips to Coronado and the great Seattle to Phoenix road trip!  She does beautiful work.

Thanks again Cathy.


I also loved this link Krystal from Village posted last week - inspiring.
Oh I do enjoy my breaks, but blogland is indeed a fun place to be!
