How cute are those guys? With some sort of a darker mat behind them?
Huh, but now I’m totally stuck on the Art Deco thing and I’m drooling over these pictures that I found while googling those architecture pics. Check this stuff out:
Officially obsessed. I’ll be visiting the 1920’s to 1940’s for a few days. Ta.
