Lady Bug Circus

New Work

What if you went to a garden party in Florida and there was an alligator in your cup?

I am pretty sure I would drop it, like a hot potato, and run in the house.

Children's tin tea cups and a metal box lid. I especially like the colors.

There's a Reason For Everything

Once a week the up scale retirement community where I work opens it's doors to a private thrift shop. They call it Flea Market Mondays. I scored some great tin today. I am so loving my new job. Who knew that a driving job could be so fabulous. Now I understand why the other job I was hoping for didn't pan out.

A Terrible Time Not To Have My Camera

Okay, so I guess I'm very immature sometimes, but I don't really care. Last Saturday while stopped on  SW Alaska St. at California Ave SW (known as the Junction, heart of West Seattle's shopping area) a group of nude bicyclists pulled up and stopped at the crosswalk on California Ave SW. This intersection has a cross-all-ways light so you can cross diaganally, so all lanes of traffic were stopped. Anyway, there were about 7 guys and 2 women. The women had body paint on I think, I wasn't really looking at them. The men were absolutely gorgeous. Unfortunately the light changed much too quickly and I had to turn, torn between watching where I was going and looking at the fine specimens at my left.

A few days later I was at the Senior Citizen's thrift shop on the same street the bicyclists had been on. I asked the eldery woman behind the counter if she had been working on Saturday and had she seen the nude bicyclists. She said yes. I told her I had mentioned the whole scene to my sister and that she had asked if they were wearing shoes. I told my sister I wasn't looking at their feet, and the elderly woman behind the counter said,

"Me neither."

Sets My Heart a Flutter

Look at this tin, doesn't he have the best face?

He was in a batch of 7 tins I bought on Ebay for $4.

As far as I can tell, it's new and from France. I would LOVE to have more. Anyone planning on a trip there anytime soon? SPF? Anyone?
