short list


i went to the store to get a few things for dinner tonight and took this list my wife had made. as i stood in line i took one final look at it to make sure i hadn't missed anything. i noticed the lines on the paper and wondered what this scrap of paper was. so i flipped it over and discovered it was a little packaging for some index guides.
this simple little graphic is so appealing to me. the color and typestyles seem very vintage. like something from the 30's. and then i remembered someone telling me about a website of collected shopping lists. apparently somebody is looking for all these discarded memos and records of our shopping habits. and so i thought before this one goes in the trash today, that i would share it. (now try to guess what we're having for dinner)
