Eames Postage Stamps

I stopped at the post office today to buy stamps and they had these cool Eames stamps available. I bought some obviously. Seeing these made my day!
Mid-Century Restaurant Sign


This vintage restaurant sign in Pratt, Kansas caught my eye while working in the area recently.
Gorbutt-Bowman Pottery

It seems that starting a blog on John D. Gorbutt, Jr. and the Gorbutt-Bowman Pottery Division of Gorbutt and Co. is in order. After learning that a Master’s Thesis on John D. Gorbutt, Jr. was on file at Kansas State University, I submitted a request for a 30-day loan of the circulating copy and picked it up yesterday! The thesis is 157 pages long and includes photos of paintings, kinetic light sculpture and even butter sculpture. I did a quick survey but there’s clearly a lot to explore.
