Ever wanted to live in a bygone era? Maybe sail from New York to Europe in 1932? Or attend a soldiers’ benefit in 1863?

Fortunately, it’s considerably less expensive to send an old-school telegram in a new way. — A.M.

Really hate to bring up Mad Men again but a Don Draper doll would totally live in this dollhouse

As true miniature collectors can tell you, the figures are always where dollhouses fail to deliver. (Except for Barbie, of course.) While these figures from Brinca Dada are…um…minimal, they do match the stylish dollhouses. — A.M.

SEGD Fellow Rich Burns was cleaning out some paperwork and ran across this gem from SEGD’s past. Titled “SEGD Connects Online with email and the Internet” and dated 1994, it offers helpful tips for the new information age.

Fave tip? ”Once you’re connected, check your email at least once a week. Think of email as a paperless communication that has a lower priority than a fax (you can print out information if you so desire). This should make it a low key communique that is fun to deal with because it’s so easy.” — A.M.
