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!

I love knowledge Fridays

A is for Aspirin and ASS. It's beginning to feel a lot like the 1950's for women these days. Case in point, Foster Friess. He's the primary supporter of a pro-Santorum super political action committee. He  suggested on MSNBC that women use Bayer aspirin as a contraceptive.  Wow.  “This contraceptive thing, my gosh, it’s so expensive,” he told host Andrea Mitchell . “Back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraceptives. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.” In case your not completely clear on Satorum's view on contraception: Santorum has said that he is "not a believer in birth control" and believes it is "harmful" to both women and society.  And in October, Santorum discussed the "dangers" of contraception with an evangelical blog. "Many in the Christian faith have said, 'Well, that's okay. Contraception's okay," he said. "It...

On any given day

I wake up with one face. Fall asleep with another. I love faces. I always have. Most of the art in my home is a face of some sort.  Abstract, pop, outsider, or straight up real - I find them easy to live with and good company.     How about you?     A poem by Rainer Maria Rilke   Buddha In Glory     Center of all centers, core of cores, almond self-enclosed, and growing sweet-- all this universe, to the furthest stars all beyond them, is your flesh, your fruit. Now you feel how nothing clings to you; your vast shell reaches into endless space, and there the rich, thick fluids rise and flow. Illuminated in your infinite peace, a billion stars go spinning through the night, blazing high above your head...
