Dork Star Vintage

I don't know - just feeling a little dorky today.

But I'm also feeling kind of cool, because one of my Etsy items was featured in this Treasury.

Pockycock!

When I was a little girl, I used to alter words to my own liking.

One of the few words that I remember is "pockycock," my own special word for pocketbook. Now that I am 40 going on 12, the word cracks me up to no end.

And I've been elbows deep in pockycocks this week (heh - I can't help it!). Here are a few of my favorite, now up for auction on eBay.

I'm biased

But early advertising for BMW motorcycles is the coolest. Love that teutonic Deco industrial look!
