Is it a snowman?

Image
I'm cleaning out the art studio and I came across a box with these little bottles. They are some sort of characters. They all have little heads on top of the round little bottle. Have no idea where they came from. I vaugely remember seeing them a couple years ago. I thought he was special and decided to put him on the blog for the world to see.

Enjoy the snowman

I just love old spun cotton ornaments. Here's a little snowman for us since it is snowing today. I will photograph other vintage ornaments as I see fit.

I have been sick again. No, really. I may have to go the the doctor if this does not stop.

Remember Jack Handey from Saturday Night Live? It was "Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey" Here's one of his random thoughts: "I hope if dogs ever take over the world, and they choose a king , they don't just go by size, because I bet there are some Chihuahuas with some good ideas"

grey days of winter are upon us now

Been busy with pricing christmas merchandise and preparing the house for Thanksgiving, so I have not done any art whatsoever. Taking a lot of stuff over to the thrift store since I don't have time to do a garage sale. The plans on the art studio room in the barn are tentative. We don't know when the contractor will start the project, but I have to get all the stuff out so he can work in there. I think it will be worth it.

Winter is here

Here is another photograph I took at Milwaukee Art museum. Our weather went from 70's to 30's in one week. Also, not enough sun for me.... I miss the sun in winter. I don't like the time change either. It screws up my sleep. I think I will go have some hot cocoa. Howie's first official day of rehab is tommorow. The barn cleaning is torture. I am starting to hate stuff.

History was made in more than one way

Our president is a black man. Our country chose a candidate based on who he is, not the color of his skin. I am proud to live in the USA where anything is possible. Who knows, a woman, a Jew, anyone can be next.... Been busy cleaning out the barn. It's a big, really big job. The resale shop I used to volunteer at is happy to get my helpings. I also gave them my antiques from where I rent space, Carriage House Antiques. Just too much stuff. It is overwhelming. My back hurts a little, so I am going to rest a bit now.

Snapple Cap Fact # 364: "Borborygmi is the noise that your stomach makes when you are hungry." Since I am starting a new eating plan, I thought this little cap fact was appropriate. Howie update: Howie chased me around the dining room table this afternoon. He hasn't done that since the injury. It is a good sign. Rehab starts next week.
