In 1992, Twin Peaks mania swept Japan with the release of David Lynch’s masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. I recently acquired a sticker sheet from Japan manufactured by Gendai that was part of promotional products created for the film. These themed stickers include iconography and phrases from Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange…
On the week of September 21st, 1992, just weeks after the US Premiere of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, David Lynch began filming a set of commercials in Los Angeles that were somewhat… familiar. The result was quite unusual. In January, 1993, Twin Peaks flickered back to life in an unexpected place: Japanese television…
I acquired a binder of clippings from a Twin Peaks fan located in Australia. Inside was a treasure trove of newspaper and magazine clippings from the land down under. One of those clippings was a sneak preview of David Lynch’s masterpiece, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. This preview was published in the now defunct “TV Hits”…
With recent heavy rains in Snoqualmie Valley, water from the Snoqualmie River is flowing heavily over the sacred Snoqualmie Falls. For more than a hundred years, the falls have been the subject of countless postcards showing water flowing at various levels. Here is a look at one card in my collection from the early 1900s…
Seattle-based Lowman and Hanford produced a number of postcards of scenes from Washington state including the majestic and sacred Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington. This postcard encouraged folks to “See Washington First” more than 100 years ago.

I love finding postcards from the Real Twin Peaks of Snoqualmie Valley that have a strong connection to Washington state. This black and white postcard contains an aerial view of the majestic and sacred Snoqualmie Falls captured by a former aerial photography company based in Seattle, Washington that was owned by a Norwegian immigrant.
For most Americans, the name, Georgia conjures images of peaches, Coca-Cola’s home state, or perhaps a Ray Charles song. But in Japan, Georgia Coffee is something very different: a beloved brand of ready-to-drink canned coffee that has been part of daily life since Coca-Cola launched it there in 1975. Sold in vending machines, convenience stores,…
When Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me arrived on home video on January 6, 1993, New Line Cinema provided video stores with advertising materials designed to appeal to fans of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show and hopefully drive sales or rentals. One such item was a cardboard sign with the “Welcome to Twin…
As a Twin Peaks fan of more than three decades, I love finding things I’ve never seen. For example, I acquired this autographed card from Ebay which features Russ Tamblyn as Dr. Lawrence Jacoby in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. It’s a great example of early ephemera from a time before…
