#VintageEphemera timeless advice

SUGGESTIONS
- FOR -
BEHAVIOR IN PUBLIC.
Always keep the right of the walk.
Never attempt to hurry in crowded places.
Above all, never elbow or push.
Always be thoughtful of the comfort of others in carrying a parasol, cane or umbrella.
Never stare at or after those that pass.
Never precede a lady, except in making way for her through a crowd or in ascending a flight of stairs. In moving with a crowd, however, a lady can best be protected by walking immediately behind her.
Never point with a finger, cane, fan, or other article, at persons; or at inanimate things, when persons are near who may think themselves the objects of your in-terest.
Never smoke upon a crowded street, in public car-riages, or in any other place where it may be offensive at the time or afterwards.
Never expectorate when in view of others, or wire the ejected matter may afterwards be seen, as upon the sidewalk, or in street cars or railway carriages.
Never eat upon the street.

Found a poster at a garage sale for pennies. Turns out the exact same original piece is in the Whitney Museum's permanent collection. Full video on my YouTube at the linktree in my bio.

Dance history didn’t only happen on stage. It happened in ballrooms, school gyms, lodge halls, supper clubs, and every crowded room where people came together to move.

A Playbill, a ticket stub, a signed window card—musical theater memorabilia keeps the magic of a live performance long after the curtain falls.

Ballet may vanish the moment the curtain falls, but its souvenirs keep the memory alive. From programs to pointe shoes, this post explores the delicate world of classical dance collectibles.

The Timeless Hideaway

@thehideaway.bsky.social

Found this 1947 pamphlet while sourcing for the shop, and it's been a hoot to read -- one of the many gems mentions the "jive talk" of the day, like "slick chick" and "deg to biffer." (I am totally going to tell someone this week that I "deg to biffer!") 😂

"Oh" #mixedmediacollage on #vintagebookboards. Approximately 16" x 20". Using beach finds, found photographs and #vintageephemera. #eastcoastcollage. The composition also features fragments of a junk shop purchased painting. #easterlyartists #suffolkcollageartist #eastcoastcollagist

A collage using vintage book boards and ephemera including found photographs, fragments of a junk shop painting, beach finds and a Scrabble letter. Circles feature strongly in the composition and a deep red acrylic paint has been applied to match elements of the boards and contrast with the other prominent colours of green and blue.
