Mid-Century Find
Found these drinking glasses at a local thrift store I frequent.  Love the pattern and colors. Turquoise and charcoal fishes. Still has the original price tags on them.  The shop honored the price when I made my purchase. Does anyone know what ‘HH’ stands for?

Charley Harper National Park Posters
I did a little summer cleaning and came across some Charley Harper posters I had purchased.  I was introduced to his artwork a few years ago and fell in love.  His prints go for a premium so if you’re on a budget but still would like to adorn your walls with his art, check out this link here.  You can order posters that were commissioned for the National Parks.  They range from $15-$30....
