Household hijinks

An image from a 1930s Encyclopedia Brittanica advertisement which I bought last year on Etsy and finally framed.

As you can see above Ms Salami is beside herself with joy at her new hallway friends.
This is how the bedroom bookshelf looks when it's tidy(!).
Bookshelf hijinks in the hallway.  Love these dolls/ this doll... 
Where I am sitting right now.  I took this photo yesterday.  Yes, a stick is holding up the curtain.  I was wondering what the image on the computer was, and when I blew it up it seemed -- ahem -- like a woman without clothes on.  I feel the need to explain: it's actually this album cover.  (I have never claimed to have sophisticated taste in music.)  Here is another album cover from my collection.

I assume that my old feminist theory lecturers do not read this blog.
