VPOD: Protecting Your Assets and Vintage 1970s Earrings
2012-02-01 17:51:00 Sure it can be hard to keep a secret, but our computer passwords are secrets worth keeping. When I used to audit companies back in the day, I was always surprised to see how many people kept their passwords posted at their desks or taped inside their top drawers or written on index cards that were tucked underneath their desk blotters. I always thought these folks were…

2012-01-30 22:24:00 ?For me, philanthropy and commerce are completely interconnected.” ? Donna Karan in Oprah?s Next Chapter Tonight’s episode of Oprah’s Next Chapter profiles Donna Karan’s humanitarian work with local artists in the still-ravaged and struggling country of Haiti.

VPOD: The Other Half and a Vintage Metallic Thai Blouse
2012-01-25 18:59:00 I met the talented comedian Kyle Cease over the weekend and watched him perform his interesting mix of inspiration and humor. During his show, Kyle explained how in the early days of George Carlin’s comedy career, George Carlin would get up on stage and, within a few minutes of starting his set, watch half his audience walk out of the club. Now I’m sure it wasn’t easy for…

And except for one young lad who was celebrating his 17th birthday and had lived a mere 6,205 days, most of the people in the audience had clocked upwards of 11,000…
Vintage Auto Race Game
2012-01-20 15:00:00 I picked up this game board at a garage sale over the summer, because it was only 50 cents, and I thought it was odd that the maker would select a few fairly obscure makes to include in the game. I later found the game pieces and the dice in an online auction just before Christmas. This Auto Race

VPOD: Polka Dot Power for Storage Boxes and a Vintage 1960s Polka Dot Dress
2012-01-18 19:06:00 I’m not the biggest fan of polka dots in fashion. For me personally, I tend to find them a bit, well, polka-dotty!

VPOD: Canon4Kids, NCMEC and a Vintage 1960s Leather Coat
2012-01-11 18:22:00 Two Saturdays ago, I woke up at 7:40am when I heard a knock on my front door. I peeked through the blinds and saw an LAPD officer. Uh-oh. My heart started pounding because police officers never knock on doors to deliver good news like winning the lottery. In this case, they were checking to see if I had noticed anything missing or had seen or heard anything suspicious…

VPOD: Exclamation Points, Joy and A Punctuated Vintage Dress
2012-01-07 20:06:00 When it comes to punctuation marks, exclamation points are definitely my favorite. I mean, commas and periods don’t strike me as particularly special. They’re just utilitarian and necessary. Semi-colons and colons often leave me befuddled. And while I do deliberately use a lot of question marks (which definitely come in a strong second), I still hope that when the tally is taken upon my final breath that I…

VPOD: A Clean Slate and A Simple Vintage Dress
2012-01-04 19:38:00 One of the great pleasures of the New Year for me is cracking open a fresh journal and flipping through the blank pages while imagining the stories, adventures, and yes, even the potential trials and tribulations, that I’ll be committing to ink in the days ahead.

VPOD: Fake Smiles and Vintage 1980s Chanel Handbags
2012-01-02 18:55:00 A smile is the prettiest thing you can wear. Actually I think it’s more accurate to say that a genuine smile is the prettiest thing you can wear! In a study published in the Academy of Management Journal last year, scientists tracked bus drivers, who smile at a whole bunch of people every day. It turns out that when they were “fake smiling” their moods deteriorated, but when…

VPOD: Vintage 1950s Beaded Peacock Sweater and the Magic of Moodling
2011-12-28 20:08:00 I’m a firm believer in what Brenda Ueland calls moodling, “long inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering.” In a weird time-twisting way, I’ve discovered that one secret to getting a lot done is being willing to spend a lot of time alone doing nothing at all! Gazing out a window with a cup of tea. Soaking in a bath. Sitting still and paying attention to the breath. And…

2011-12-21 19:53:00 Trompe l’oeil is French for “deceive the eye” and refers to an art technique that can create optical illusions that appear very realistic. But the idea of trompe l’oeil isn’t only applied to art. It also finds its way into fashion. Fashion, by nature, is often used to “deceive the eye” with prescriptions for looking taller, thinner, or more proportional by wearing stripes or wider belts or smaller…

Why shouldn’t each of them be beautiful?” Yes, why not??? If looking at beauty brings you joy—which it certainly does for most people—then why not fill your life with more beauty and joy?
