Although best known for his surrealist paintings, Salvador Dalí apparently had a brief, unsuccessful foray into farming. No not really. Just one of the many fantastic commercial art images from mid-century food and beverage ads to be found at Plan59. A great site if you enjoy perusing through some vintage retro graphics.

And it's given me some great insight into the fashion sense of the one bathroom that I've got that we haven't remodeled yet. It looks like cerulean blue was at one time "fresh as a dawn sky", although now, not so much. At least we got rid of the 70's psychedelic plaid wallpaper that covered every non-ceramic surface when we first moved in.
