And a sappy New Year

Here at Thingummery HQ we tend to hold up the 1960s as the Decade of Design, the apex of cool. But finding the pages of a goofy calendar like this stuck inside an old coloring book serves as a powerful reminder that the ’60s weren't all Eames chairs and Mary Quant dresses and fabulous graphics. I've been known to hoard a few old calendars but can you imagine hanging on to this for nearly 50 years? (Doubtless similar remarks will be made at my future estate sale.)
