Found!

This is a precious little gift I received from a dear friend. The packaging was outstanding! A simple brown box with a band of dictionary paper held by a simple round disc.

When anything is presented to me in this fashion.....I begin to feel the tingle of greatness!

Only to open it and find this lovely handmade pin! The mounting card was from a dictionary page, and the pin itself was created from vintage wallpaper. It was just adorable!

I was thrilled to receive such a treasure and equally thrilled to share such an artisan. The Foundling website is filled with delicious handmade items. Be sure and give it a look here.

Can't wait to wear this little piece of delicious garnish!

The Cinema!

Saw this lovely old theatre on the square of a small town I travelled through over the 4th weekend. Love the name...the signage...the giant changeable letters on the marque....just perfectly vintage. The oddity comes in what is playing..."Transformers" and "Ice Age"...hmmm. Even on a beautiful old cinema it looks great.

Have much to share...but, much to organize to post....keep checking back...it's all coming soon!

Fishin'!

Gone fishin' for a few days! Have a great 4th!

Fez...Fez Hooray!

This is my latest find....a FEZ! I've always wanted one. There is something appealing about the red felt flower pot shape...the sparkly letters...the sword...and the infamous giant black dangling tassel. Plus, it brings back fond memories of attending holiday parades with the crazy Shriner clowns zipping around on the mini cars...scaring the life out of parade attendees standing along the street.

I've had the fez sitting on my mantle for about a week now...no one has noticed. I feel certain this particular doo-dad would create conversation, if only someone would be a wee bit observant. We will see how long this takes....fez..fez...hooray!

A Solitary Tree!

A single tree in the middle of a parking lot surrounded by a flea market.

Nothing better...nor more picturesque.
