RANDOM NATURE POST
now i know who has been attacking the sunflower the squirrel planted. looking out the window spotted mrs. goldfinch. i watched her awhile before, DUH. take a pic!

RANDOM POLL POST- my cousin's kitchen.

my cousin lives in madison and she has the cutest little house. the elderly first owner i believe, built in the 20's. added on in the 50's. when they got it, they added a tile backsplash. new counter by the sink, replaced the red rug with a nicer flooring. i covet her cabinet handles. but she wants to paint the 'knotty pine' walls. i think this is what makes her kitchen special. i admit, some of it isn't the greatest. but i think if she just sanded everything and sealed it, it would be enough to cut the 'orange'. and it's more golden than anything. there is a mix of woods, so getting stuff to match is an issue.

but if she paints. no going back.
she has a patial paintable wall on the north side by the fridge and dog cage. and on the south wall by the back door. plus, they did paint the nice doors white. BLEGH. my cousin and her mom are big WHITE fans. i detest white. i say just paint the paintable walls. but she wants a soft green/blue and hubby wants something warm. but the wood is warm. maybe visit and chat about the kitchen.

RANDOM HOARD POST

RANDOM ORATIONS POST-Salisbury

same speech, just haven't been reading it.

---And we are not so strong as we were. At first all nations sympathized with us, but now they look on us coldly and even with hostility. Those who were our friends have become indifferent, those who were indifferent have become our adversaries; and if our misfortunes and disasters go on much lomger we shall have europe saying that they can not trust us, that we are too weak, that our prestige is too low to justify us in undertaking this task.

amazing how history repeats so closely.

RANDOM ESTATE SALE POST

'holiday' week, so not much for sales, but went to a little house near the freeway. middle of Milw. probably WW2 era little house. not much, but i did find some very interesting things and 2nd day deals. think she didn't charge me much. course did pay a WHOLE $6! i could NOT resist the um, 'unusual', ok ugly necklace, but then i have a collection of funny/ugly jewelry. and then this 'clip on' tie. mason's? shriner's? little help? quite small, very 50's, i must say. wasn't the head guy. could be a ebay winner.
and i got even more than just the mod bowl, too. adorable little hors d'ovres spikes. may not be ebayable, maybe do something artsy with em.
and i SWEAR i see the aztec calendar in the metal dish. hard to see it in the goofy mod scribbles, but i bet the person who designed it, was looking at the calendar. even so, i must try and ebay before i hoard it. well, i guess i will have to do an aztec calendar post now.

RANDOM ROSEMALING POST

well, as Bruce said. it looks like the LS Lynse is because of this man. a norwegan who immigrated over to WI in 1907. a wagon painter who because of the depression, started rosemaling for money and began the rebirth of the traditional art in America. so, thanks to the depression, this man created and is now reveared.
and i may have just taken his work by chance. and the antique dealer was smart enough to take it himself whenever he did. oh, the happy accidents of life.
