Saturday, December 20, 2014. 212 ANGELS OF LIGHT. ANGELS OF LIGHT, MY GUARDIANS DEAR. Two midcentury angels holding pole lamps, now restored. ca. mid-50s, early 60s. The early bird catches the worm—so they say—and I proved that when I arrived first at his shop when he called to tell me of his just-arrived inventory of santos; I had the first and best picks of the day, and I went home with a hoard of stuff—including these circa 1950s angels. This pair may have been used in home altars, perhaps a chapel...

Monday, June 24, 2013. 27 Look What I Found: I WAS A PRODUCT DANGLER. Today, I decided to do some springcleaning and found a point-of-sale material called a "product dangler" for Visine Spray Eyeglass Cleaner. This is a die-cut cardboard piece that one attached to a shelf counter so that the product panel dangled and wobbled in front of passing customers, thus calling their attention. And guess who the buzz cut, bespectacled model who dangled and wobbled at all leading drugstores and supermarts- ME!
