Well this morning I found on my desk a letter from “The Union of Mad Scientists” and It turned out to be even better than the intriguing senders name promised.

It was a wonderful, flattering, fabulous beyond our wildest dreams quote for our upcoming title Weird and Wonderful.

To quote Mr. Robbins “Thanks to Weird and Wonderful, I now know what one book I would take with me to a dessert island”.

Goodness, if we weren’t so pleased with ourselves and this book, we might blush!

Picturing Jane Austen

Abigail Darling — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 06:40:17 +0000

We’re planning several calendars for 2011, and one I’m working will use illustrations from the novels of Jane Austen. The images are largely from the late 19th to early 20th century and quite gentle in mood and color. This is a very different palette than the vivid Austen we have seen in so many recent – and wonderful! – versions of Emma, Pride and Prejudice and Persuasion, etc. on film and television. But this gentler Austen is quite charming, and we look forward to sharing it.

Learning how to blog

Matt our web expert is here teaching Abigail and I some further fine points of blogging. If you would like leave a comment here on what kinds of things would you like to hear about on our blog?

We do have our own partcular notions, but thought that letting our beloved customers have their say, is always a good idea!

Wood Sign 9X12

Description

Laughing Elephant is pleased to introduce a line of reproduction wooden signs. Drawing upon our vast library of vintage commercial art we have selected a rich variety of themes for our initial offering.

We have attempted to provide every room in the house, from nursery to living room and garage to kitchen, with what we think are fitting subjects. The signs are printed on wood, a pleasingly substantial and appropriately nostalgic medium. They are available in a variety of sizes and shapes and are made in the U.S.A.

Because each order is custom printed, they will be shipped, and billed separately from the rest of your Laughing Elephant order. The signs will take about 10 days longer to arrive and are not returnable.

Masquerade: Costume Inspirations

Masquerade: Costume Inspirations

Description

A gathering of colorful costumes from old pattern books, to inspire those looking for ideas for Halloween, New Years or any other occasion for a costume party

The custom of dressing-up in a disguise of one kind or another for balls, parties, or other celebrations is not only an ancient custom, but one that has deep roots in our minds. It provides an opportunity to live our dreams, to realize our wilder aspirations. One is, when costumed, a different being.

We have drawn from our large fashion collection some especially attractive costume plates. They are from classic French and continental fashion magazines of the 1920s to 1950s. This volume is inspirational, not instructional, though most of the costumes are readily imitated.
