hip to be square








With a stack of pretty paper squares and double stick tape - my closet/dressing room is starting to take shape.

 





  



The funky light is an old metal basket with a filament blub (a flea find.)

 The paper squares are normally used for scrapbooking.

I'll add photos and art.  TA DA ...My very own scrapbook wall!

The art (Lovely As A Tree) peeking thru the light fixture is by A.L. Burke. LOVE.

This is a jewelry stand. Jumped for joy when I found this!

A favorite dress.

I Found this Beth Frank one of  a kind belt at an estate sale. 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 which belt I wanted. We round the corner into the kitchen and I notice my hand is empty. Will has moved away from me and is back at the belts! I calmly retrieve him,  and we go back into the kitchen. I whisper, the sign at the door said "NO KIDS" and let's face it kid, you're a kid. His arms fly in the air and he whispers back to me "what? No kids!, Are they crazy?" Perhaps. Perhaps not.  Either way... Stick with me kid, we're buyin' a belt.

Slices of hand made soap -  smell so yummy! Oh, and a couple pairs of my favorite shoes that I wear with my favorite dress. Not at the same time of course, but if I could.....

    Your closet/dressing room is very pretty and very bohemian. Very inspiring as well. It's a good idea to stick squares of scrapbook paper on the wall as a backdrop for artwork.

    By the way, I just host a new giveaway so stop by and enter for a chance to win a piece of fabulous jewelry of your choice!

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 t...

The author of searching and often dark meditations on universal themes, he is a quintessentially modern poet in his adherence to language as it is actually spoken, in the psychological c...
