These smoke dealies make me very happy for some reason. Or whenever there’s smoke coming out of the sewer? UGH, SUCH SEXY IMAGERY.

This is a print that my dear friend Harmeet gave me as a gift and had mounted in a gorgeous frame that currently hangs on my wall. I feel like the gifts I’ve loved the most over the years either hang on my wall or involve Woody Allen. 

It’s a page from the book Bob and Bill See Canada: A Travel Story in Rhyme for Boys and Girls, written by Alfred Uren and illustrated by W. Goode. I tried to find some more information about it, but all I could come up with was that it was published before 1923.  Each page centers around a different province (this one is Ontario - in Ottawa, specifically) and every page is as good as this one, really. 

Welcome

Oh, hi!

Don’t let that exclamation point fool you, I’m not nearly as perky as it portrays. (I thought about writing, “Oh, hi,” but I didn’t want to immediately seem like Daria.)

Anyway, I’ll keep this message short. This tumblr will solely be about the stronger-than-normal opinions and tips that I have on many things. Also included will be beautiful/funny things I’ve heard that I specifically love taken from friends as well as people whom I’ve never met. Those things may include beauty products, mannerisms, events, ideas, etc. I’ll plan to write at least three posts a week for one year and then assess where to go from there. 

You’re very sweet to even still be reading this message. Aw, look at you. You’re great. 

Yours sincerely,

Elizabeth
