Feeling blue…

Relaxed blue…

Soothing blue…handmade blue…

Cool cool blue

like hanging out on the rooftop of an iceberg

A couple of finds…On a lazy saturday…

Meet Buenaventura….

A sassy kinda fella.

named after my HS Spanish teacher Buenaventura Corona

always loved saying that name.

the dude smokes…But he was painted in ‘63… everybody did.

Even his friend next to him…

Paloma.

Not sure where his home will be….but wanted them to be acquainted…

oh…he was a whole 10 bucks at the local Habitat Homestore.

Paloma was found for 7.

17 buck couple.

Meet worn out Asian chair….

She better not get cozy…she’s heading back tomorrow.

I think.

Summer shuffle…

Some favorite images of summer

slowly ever so slowly in these parts shifting to cooler climes

may I reiterate slooooowly?

The neighborhood......Years ago….in front of this gorgeous home.

No rhyme or reason…just cruising my image folder…

Have a wonderful tail end of summer!

Chairs…

As I listened to Bobby McAlpine on the Skirted Round Table this week

terrific interview…go listen if you haven’t. Run.

Something he said really resonated with me.

Chairs

He thinks of chairs as people in a room.

Me too!

I am always pulled to chairs…like giant…or sometimes subdued personalities.

I have too many chairs

but I love them.

Every one of their funky souls…

now don’t these look like people….just hanging out…watching an event? See.

Maybe it is the singleness. The individual uniqueness…

Cause I don’t happen to have any matchy matchy sets. They are all unique…sometimes lost little souls. I collect vagabonds. Yep.

Maybe I am odd. Cross out the maybe. Go ahead.

But I’ll bet a dollar…..even a dollar fifty that you

have an affinity

for one type of furniture too?

spill people.

I wanna know.

design imitates life imitates design…

yes indeed…YES indeed.

Uh Oh...

So.....

Apparently computers

and

water

don't mix very well...

I found out...

The hard way.

New computer on it's way this week.

sigh.

Or…perhaps…this?

‘Stead of the horse photo?(see last post)

I’m on a roll

slow roll…but a roll all the same.

and a bit more context for you.

yes…I know the floors need a fresh glazing

I have considered attaching mop cloths to a certain big black dogs feet

...and duster to a tail.

How about the horses over in this corner…

grazing?

Better? Not?

Heartfelt thanks for your continued thoughts

for our son...

He's getting stronger and stronger.
