out & about

recently thrifted

and one with the cat...because she gets off easy compared to the dog when it comes to being made to pose for me:


{it's marked cal-dak on the bottom. the chair, not the cat.}

garbage picked

{have a wonderful weekend!}

thursday = embroidery

I thrifted these vintage cross-stitch pieces recently because they reminded me so much of where I grew up:


and this week's vintage embroidery pattern is another flower girl:


happy stitching!

a celebratory slideshow

as I previously mentioned, the external hard-drive that I kept all my work on malfunctioned so I sent it off to see about getting the data recovered. well, the bad news is I did lose a lot of stuff & but the good news is I didn't lose it all!

so, I can finally share with you the photos I was working on that fateful night, which I took at the blacktop car show held back in august in downtown wichita:

blacktop car show - wichita, ks - 2010 from g. on Vimeo.

it was really fun to to try my hand at photographing something different & I was lucky to have so many beautiful, shiny, colorful subjects all in one place :)

{I've created a set over on flickr for the individual photos}

p.s. if you find yourself in need of retrieving data I highly recommend drive savers - I did research online & they always came up as being the best and I can see why.

thrifting logic

this is the last thing in the world I should have thrifted:


but I couldn't help myself so I've justified it by putting it in my practice corner & using the magazine rack to hold accordion music :
