Enjoyable: Vintage Maps

Ever since I was a kid, I have always been crazy about maps. I remember spending a couple days in our basement routing through 20 years of issues of National Geographic my grandparents had given me and pulling out lots of different maps. I was also been known to study a road atlas for no particular reason other than enjoyment. Heck, I'll still look up things on Google Maps for fun. 

So I was checking out Ebay today and I found all these old maps from NatGeo. Hmm tempting. Here.

Also, I kind of want this lot of old Ohio maps. Here

A Few Favorites...

America's Favorites is a book devoted to the favorite foods of Americans, i.e the McDonalds cheeseburger, Oreos. The simple, vintage design makes it all the more charming.

The simple kitchen of Johnson Hartig, one of the designers of Libertine. Love the dog on the table. It reminds me of when I would discover our family's Yorkshire Terrier on top of the coffee table eating chocolates.

The home of a Swedish designer. Love the map, the lockers, the vintage desk chair.
