Pair of Cavalry Prints on I Love Lucy

Framed Cavalry Prints on I Love Lucy

In a previous post we looked at  small military prints in the livingroom on I Love Lucy. The pictures on the show are mid-century framed reproductios from an old book on broad sword exercises with some color added. The vintage framed prints are hard to find. However I found that the original book is archived online  so you could print out some to frame. Below is a scan of the page showing   pictures from the book like those seen above in the screen grab from the show.

A fragrance used by Lucille Ball

A blog reader (who heard it directly from Lucie Arnaz) mentioned to me recently that Lucille Ball liked to use the fragrance Florida Water. Florida Water is a classic unisex cologne – also used as an aftershave – that dates back to 1808. It has a sweet orange fragrance with notes of lavender and clove.
