A major decorating influence.
I loved this book as a child. Chased out of her tree house home by angry squirrels (and who hasn't had such happen to them?) Miss Suzy takes refuge in a Victorian doll house, a style of furniture and decor I am still enamored with today.

Another Childhood dream home
Although, even as a child I wondered why the toilet and bathroom sink were removable.

Which would you choose?
Growing up in our triple Decker in East Boston, all three kitchens were pristine Italian white. I've always been very partial to them due to childhood memories.
American Gas Assocaition Kitchen 1945
American Gas Assocaition Kitchen 1946
Of the two I think I prefer the 1946 kitchen with its muted rose and blue tones. And it does seem to be lacking evidence of a child, hence no thumb prints. Although the 1945 kitchen does seem to get better light and offer a more formal garden view. In either case dig those stoves!!!!

AMEN!
Pope Francis: Who am I to judge gay people?
The Pope spoke candidly and off-the-cuff
Pope Francis has said gay people should not be marginalised but integrated into society.

Not sure of it's the subject juxtaposition, implication or simply the artwork
But I wouldn't mind having this ad framed as well

True in any language!
But it just sounds better in German...
A few of the key phrases:
"Now that she's married, any woman who thinks she can rest on her laurels is wildly mistaken.
On the contrary, a man wants to be daily won anew! That's how we men are, that's what we're
used to, and that's how we want to have it."
"Baking creates joy! And here She has it better than Him. SHE MAY BAKE." [that's "may" as in "has permission to"]
"Better hurry now, Peter will be there soon and he could eat a horse."
"We all know, of course, that a woman has only two questions in her life:
1) What shall I wear today?
and
2) What shall I cook for dinner?
"The most important thing for him is the PUDDING."
"You know, men who like eating sweets are men of good character.
"Cake makes us men soft and manageable. That new dress can easily cost $100 more, no problem!"
