The Little Things

September 27, 2010

This old school Kate Spade advertisement arrived in my mailbox today (I found it on ebay) and it makes me so happy.  It’s one of my favorite campaigns and I’m eager to frame it.  The house with its white picket fence is pretty much my dream home : )  Yup, it’s the little things…

    Very cute! Which search words did you use? I’ve been trying to get a print of her latest, the Live Colorfully shot of the girl in the open trunk. http://www.blogcdn.com/www.stylelist.com/media/2010/03/katespade1-240khz31809.jpg

    Quintessence — I don’t know how shot it! It may be Tim Walker, but I can’t seem to find out for certain…

    Amanda Rose — I just searched “Kate Spade advertisement.” There aren’t very many available right now and usually they aren’t the more current ones : ( If I find an extra copy of that one in one of my magazines I’ll email you and snail mail it your way!

    Wow, thanks Katie, for the search tip and the offer. If you manage to get your hands on one, I’d be happy to return the favour with a bit of UK whimsy.
