This week Mr. C and I are enjoying some time off in between the holidays, and I couldn't be more excited for our mini stay-cation.  We're sleeping in, enjoying lazy hikes along the beach, and we finally got to check out the exhibit I've been dying to see since September - Mac Conner: A New York Life at the Museum of the City of New York!  (I originally learned about it here.)  It was seriously amazing!  Mac Conner was a true Mad Man whose work combined glamour, intrigue, and sizzle through advertisements, magazine stories and novel illustrations. According to the Wall Street Journal, his work "seduced a generation of young families with a new American Dream" and you can absolutely see why.  Each illustration is perfection. 

Here are a few of my favorite pieces from the exhibit:
