Carlsbad

I would love to take an extended road trip, but only if I could find swell souvenirs like this one, seen at  Dioramas.

Ookpik, Little Ookpik but no Song....

     

The odd though somewhat tedious tale of the Ookpik, the 1960s Canadian toy mascot, who survived foot amputation and the love of hordes of children, and was recommended for a career in Canadian politics. And a sidebar about a woman named Snowball who had emotional affairs with owls. But no Ookpik song! I can only find the Ookpik waltz, which is NOT the little tune I recall hearing that goes "Oooookpik, little Ookpik song......" and that's about all I remember. Who can find it for me?

Vintage Decals

A recent stop at Kitschy Kitschy Koo led me to a great collection of vintage souvenir decals. All the graphics are amazing, I wanted to copy them all to show here.

And if you're dying to have one of these beauties on your car windshield, you can buy decal paper and print any of these images off on your printer at home.
