Vintage Ski Postcard – Summer Fun in Lake Placid

I’m off to the Adirondacks for a few days of R&R after a busy couple of weeks. Last week I visited with old friends and clients at the Outdoor Retailer trade show in Salt Lake City. It was fun to see some of the things I’ve designed unveiled at the Chums (sporty eyeglass retainers) and Darn Tough Vermont (colorful patterned socks) booths.

For the most part, I design products twelve months before they are shown at trade shows and then it’s another six months before they are available in stores. This makes it a bit tough to show off Poppy Gall Design Studio work right at the time of creation! It’s always exciting to see the polished finished product.

This short work week, I’ve been following up with people that I met at the show and working on project deadlines. I’m putting the finishing touches on my new studio so I can move in next week – if all goes according to plan! I’ve got to find some time to pack for a much anticipated retreat with my family on a remote Adirondack lake.

For those of you who follow my blog know, I’m a sucker for vintage ski postcards, fashions, equipment etc. This silly summer ski postcard makes me smile. The caption on the back reads,

“The scrapings from the artificial ice sheet at the world famous Olympic Arena, Lake Placid, N.Y., furnish a few moments of fun and thoughts of the ski season to come.”

Yes! Bring on the snow – but wait until I have a final dip in that mountain lake !

Enjoy your weekend!
