First of all, check out these cute letterpress neighborhood postcards from Katie Kaiser that are available at Urban Cottage for $3 each. (Also on Etsy.)
I feel bad about judging Urban Cottage by its old website right before it opened its Vaggie-Hi location. I was mad about my beloved Atlanta Book Exchange moving to a new county (a quarter of a mile away). Urban Cottage is lovely and they are also well stocked in Alternative Apparel‘s best and most classic pieces in black and white only (and sometimes gray).
And aren’t you dying to know what I got at Highland Row Antiques last weekend?
I picked up this little dish (it’s about 6×8″) that has a map with all of Georgia’s industries on it! Well, Georgia’s industries in the 1950s. No methamphetamine or failed financial services or unemployment insurance or nearly-failed biotech industries, yet!

And this I’m the most excited about – a GQ from 1967 that features Atlanta. I haven’t had time to read the article yet, but the photographs are a-ma-a-a-a-a-a-a-zing. I will scan them for you, readers, IF YOU ASK ME POLITELY.
I didn’t buy this because I have no use for it, but I thought all you Paul and Annabelle fans might appreciate this TBS schwag from the late mid-1990s – an old school Dinner and a Movie recipe box, found at Scott Antique Market (which happens again this weekend, btw).
Now for some totally frivolous items (that GQ was a necessity). These glasses are in the window of a store called Brite Couture in Fairlie Poplar that is always closed and just sparsely decorated with shelves displaying strange and outdated eyeglasses.
How awesome are those awnings?! Someone go buy these sunglasses immediately!
This magnificent work of art was available at Antique Factory, but don’t bother racing there now to get it for yourself because I bought it already! And by “I”, I mean my shopping companion who is wealthier than I am.
Yes, that’s a a painting of a Helmut Newton photograph of Elizabeth Taylor holding a parrot in a pool.

Puh-leaaaze scan the GQ images!!! Pretty please with sugar on top!!!
Ma’am, I’d certainly be obliged if you might be able to find the time to scan the GQ. Of course, you’re certainly a very busy woman (I don’t mean to cast any aspersions on your character, of course), and the world must put on a grin and simply understand if you’re unable to do this service to us all.
