As I was driving to work on Friday I passed a garage sale and was compelled to stop. Evidently an estate was bought out and the goods available were in insurmountable quantities piled everywhere. I ferreted out these hand colored postcards. The artist is Douky and all I find is that the cards are French and from the Edwardian era. The pen sketch of the Spanish Dancer is numbered and by an artist named Rothe with a first name that I can’t read. Anyway, I was pleased with my find.
Erik and I spent out allowance on books at our libraries book sale. We lugged home a box filled to the top. On the way home we stopped at a friends newly opened vintage store called “inventory”.
I bought this Saks hat and dressed it up with on of Terri's silver pins with vintage beads. Terri has a nice collection of vintage stuff that is artfully displayed in their renovated space that was once a hardware store, a joy to browse through. In addition to the hat, I took home a vase for my burgeoning basil cuttings.
I have been doing some knitting as well. The Candle Flame shawl has a second repeat to it and the Iris Garden socks are also receiving my attention. There has been some talk about a knitter’s thimble on the 6 Sox site. In my investigations into purchasing a thimble online I tripped across the Sundara Petals Collection sock club that has reopened and promptly joined. What a segue!
Saturday Sky
Really a Sunday mornig, 6:30 AM sky. I was getting the newspaper and, yes, the clouds were really that pink.
