Saturday freebie on Sunday

* First, to the visitor who asked if I would post to another server so she would't have to get Dropbox. I was not ignoring you; I have been busy. In answer to your question, I give away my designs for free and chose a reliable and safe free server to make these designs available. (Some other services have had problems including but not limited to hacking and viruses.) I don't believe you need to have a free Dropbox account to download items from my links. It would be inconvenient and time consuming for me to upload to more than one server so I will not be doing so. I suggest you try to download my Dropbox links and open them as you would any other zip file.

Yesterday was a busy day with family. My niece and God-daughter, Rachel Marie, graduated from Old Dominion University. The ceremony was at 2pm but such a large crowd was expected that we left home at noon to get a decent parking space and obtain handicapped seating. Long time sitting on hard chairs and the section we were in had AC vents blowing directly down on us. I got so cold. Not so bad for hubby who was wearing a suit. We got home about 4:30 and just had time to unwind a little and warm up, then it was go out again and pick up my Aunt and her boyfriend as we had promised to go out to dinner with them. Home again near 10pm and we were tired.

Quiet, rainy day today so we are just taking it easy. I've got what should have been yesterday zip of Deco Dandies for you. One stacked paper and loads of masculine elements. Bakelite, a kind of early plastic, was all the rage in the 30s and made into almost everything: handles for eating utensils, jewelry, boxes of every description and so on. This zip includes a Bakelite box and a desk set. Aviation was big news and men, loving all forms of transportation, were crazy about it. Today's zip includes a desk lamp made like an airplane. You will also find other desk/office related items like fountain pen, ink well, books with bookends, clock, reading glasses and so on. Hope this is fulfilling your wishes for masculine touches? I would have liked to include some Deco era Poser men like the ladies I included but Poser figures of men are few compared to those of women and often the expressions and hairstyles leave a lot to be desired.
