Latest Obsession: Victorian Style Computers

Happy Monday! Ready for another week of working typing? Well, let's just step back in time for a few...

Wouldn't it be fun to surf the web with one of these retro-fitted Victorian style computers by Old Time Computer? I'm mesmerized by them!


The ultra modern joins with medieval times to give your computer a Victorian look with these custom pieces. Take for instance an Apple iMac Oak Custom Cover. Just slip on your computer and you walla! A beautiful hand built wood desktop. And these custom-made keyboards that look like old typewriters. So steampunk.


I love the juxtaposition of the "old world" and today’s modern conveniences. So sleek to have one of these on your desk, don't you think?


You can view all of Old Time Computer designs here. They even have iPhone and iPad holders!

Fun Finds at the Vintage Paper Faire

Saturday I spent the afternoon perusing the San Francisco Vintage Paper Faire. The faire was packed with people sifting through everything from vintage posters to postcards. So many collectors!

If you've purchased from Paris Hotel Boutique, you've probably received a vintage postcard from us. I am fond of old French interiors/exteriors and the hand-tinted cards. I also like old hotel postcards. Makes sense, doesn't it?


Here are some random postcards that I purchased in addition to the French and hotel ones. I love the colors of these bathing beach postcards...the quality of the old linen cards is amazing...

These people are dressed a bit warm for the beach, don't you think?

These linen cards were of celebrities homes, c. 1950's. Whimsical and fun!

I'm off to sort through my big stack of postcards...You may be receiving one!
