A gem of a man

chinatown / the old c.k. tang

the recent passing away of one of our greatest politician brought such a wave of nostalgia, it somehow led us to these most amazing pictures of singapore and malaya in the 1960s (that first picture is so graphic, it almost feels like we should see our grandparents in there). also, did you catch this moving tribute to Dr Goh on television? you really, really have to.

beautiful (wedding?) dresses. so dramatic! or if you prefer something simpler, this is sweet. spread via vogue italia.

into watercolour paintings lately. more of kate's works here.

fun print(!).

what a curious looking lamp(!). via oh joy.

this picture is so so gorgeous. plus, tooth-fairy politics in the united states, and how relevant some parts of it are to us.

interesting prints discovered at walmart.

very cute collection called my granddaughter's cabinet.
