Sactown: April/May 2011

Two more photos I found in Brooklyn. Both had writing on the back.

(Above) "Bridge to Main Gate of Emperor's Palace Tokyo"

(Below) "A couple of of the boys and myself on our day off. 9/10/1942."

Based on expression, I imagine the picture belonged to the soldier in the middle. I wish I knew their stories.

Wonder Objects, an eskimo kisser?

This post reminded me to include the Deyrolle on my Paris must-do list.

Wallis Simpson Biopic? Need to see. 

Drooling over this house.

Young and Old.

I had forgotten all about these darlings (bought at a junk shop in Williamsburg). I simply adore the "Playing House" photo. Oh to grow up in a house full of girls... how I still love it. 

The Jazz Age Lawn Party - Governors Island

By far my favorite day of the summer.

We picnicked, we people-watched, we soaked in the twenties love. Sadly, my batteries died just as I mustered enough courage to snap photos of strangers. But I think you get the idea.

It was fabulous.

These gals appeared on Bill's Sunday page. Loved their look.

The major highlight was when Sarah death-gripped my arm and whispered, "BILL CUNNINGHAM!" As if it couldn't get better than a Bill sighting... he later took a photo of Sarah! I was so glad I happened to turn around and document his approach.

Going in for the kill...

Post shot, he's now on to our neighbors. I think Sarah is in a daze ...and very rightly so.

Again, Bill in action. Yes, I'm a stalker. 

We took a break from the party and explored some of the grounds.
