So great to see an 82-year old patent in action!
This Miriam Gross sweater set has a patent date of August 14, 1928, and thanks to a quick patent search, I found the original patent.
The sweater set is available on eBay this week—see it here.

John Lennon and I
John Lennon would have been 70 today.
When I was young, John was never far from my thoughts and aspirations. I wanted to be more like him: Funny, purposeful, searching, talented.
The interesting thing is he still means so much to me. I see him as a true artist, one who could touch millions of people without pandering. I see him as a true human being, one who used his own frailties to reach others. He cared about the world. Imagine is his anthem to the world.
A page from my high school notebook
When John died, Yoko's message included their young son Sean's words: "Now daddy is part of God. I guess when you die you become much more bigger because you're part of everything."
Arguably the last song John wrote was Grow Old Along With Me:
I wish John could grow old along with Yoko. I wish John and all of us could have grown old together. We need him more than ever.

5 things: Pink vintage for a cause
This October is the 25th anniversary of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. A number of pink items in my eBay store are being sold to support Living Beyond Breast Cancer, my way of honoring those who have survived cancer, and remembering those who I will miss forever.
