flea finds: act two








rabbits, fish, and birds. oh my!






The other day when I was walking through the woods, I saw a rabbit standing in front of a candle making shadows of people on a tree.   Stephen Wright

Magic Mirror: Our first bachelorette is a mentally abused shut-in from a kingdom far, far away. She likes sushi and hot-tubbing any time. Her hobbies include cooking and cleaning for her two evil sisters. Let's hear it for Cinderella! Bachelorette number two is a cape-wearing girl from the Land of Fantasy. Although she lives with seven other men, she's not easy. Just kiss her frozen, dead lips and find out what a live wire she is. Give it up for Snow White! And last but not least is a fiery redhead who lives in a dragon-guarded castle surrounded by a boiling lake of lava. But don't let that cool you off. She's a loaded pistol who likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. Yours for the rescuing, Princess Fiona!   "Shrek"

    This was entertaining! I miss the flea markets up there. Glad you are enjoying them. Down here the flea markets consist of tube socks and the latest plastic dinnerware. ; )

    Dinnerware:Still pink with light blue flowers. or ducks with a blue ribbon around the neck. Tube socks are cotton but wear out after a few washes. Ha! Yes, I bought them. Still debating the plastic ware.

  5. Hello Jane,

    Love the Magic Mirror and I love flea markets. I missed the big one in Dallas this past March. BUT, there is a flea market in Denton which I hope to get to go to sometime soon.

    Happy July 4!

    Feeling somewhat better!

a different kind of pop art

* dad , daddy , pa , papa, pop *my pop is the father of six girls and a self taught artist. One of my first memories of his art is a mural he did in charcoal on a large red wall in our living room. It was a stagecoach with horses, it seemed to jump off the wall into the room.  I loved it. He also created  a barn 'look' on the second floor landing of our house. Complete with split rail fencing used for the stair rail - the only thing between us and certain death was termite ridden timber. But, it looked fabulous! Our house had only one bathroom and with seven females in the house including my Mom, you can imagine how my Dad felt the need to make his mark (so to speak) in the one room he really had no control over. T hus, began our summer spent retrieving rocks from the river; for what would become the most famous bathroom in town. It was a good size room with a long wall of mirrors, a claw foot tub, the essential toilet and a window.  Pop's idea was to

The sign on the door stated no kids, but the boy and I went in anyway. He held my hand, we smiled at the lady with the stern look and walked right to the table where this and two other belts were. I didn't decide right away and thought we should keep moving before we were asked to leave and I could think about w
