The March Hare, which may still exist but doesn't seem to have an online presence, is in the Paoli Shopping Center. I am pleased to find that this magical place still exists, which is also in that shopping center - [link] For years I was confused and disappointed that all hardware stores didn't have toy stores upstairs. Of course, these days, I'd more likely be downstairs drooling over Makita saws rather than coveting a Madame Alexander doll, but I have such lovely memories of browsing the toys while my parents got their boring house stuff.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oddly, I don't have any nostalgia for all the mid-century stuff. I looked at that kitchen and shuddered.

msbelle, I wish I could hook you up with my neighbor Sarah. She's a little later in preferred vintage (more modern,) but similar styles and has the greatest furnishings. Pretty sure you'd love her place. And get withit, msbelle mom!
I am full up with wine and cheese and good company. Mmmm.
Polar bear spycam destruction fills me with unholy glee.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Polar bear spycam destruction fills me with unholy glee.
Their attitude is remarkably similar to Emmett's: "What's that? I gotta fuck with that. Can I break it? Yes!"

My thought is it clearly wasn't tested on toddlers.
But you know the bears were just looking for a chewy center.

I lived in Bryn Mawr for a spell and spent time in Paoli. That was over a decade ago. DAMN. I'm old.
That ended badly and ended up with Tracy pulling funding from Alice's daughter's internet cafe!
I didn't know that tidbit, but am not surprised. For the longest, I thought TC was in a relationship with Rebecca Walker, not Alice.
Glad the squirrel store syringes arrived.
I saw Burrell today and we delved into the nail polish box. I have on my left hand purple, green, ice blue, mint green and nude polishes since I was testing. Dana, you did an amazing job packing them! I loved that they were all color sorted.

Just like a zombie in that respect.
Brains en Croute.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Poke and destroy.

Oh, I can't take credit for that. I just put them back the way they came, more or less. But I did have fun repacking everything.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Polar bear spycam destruction fills me with unholy glee.
Isn't it great? They are just so pleased with themselves for the destruction. Although it makes me want to give them tougher balls that they can just play with. Although I realize that's not the non-intervention model.

Yay! The polish box makes me so happy. I can't believe we're this successful with it.
