meet miss blue belle

I get things in my head & then can't get them out...I guess that's the definition of an obsession.

the latest one was to get a vintage 3-speed bike, preferably blue. this started earlier in the summer & I was able to ignore it until recently. mostly because I was pretty hooked on the electra bikes or a totally restored vintage one, but since they were all {way} out of my budget I was at an impasse.

{its funny, I never get obsessed about things like keeping a clean house or eating healthier...}

then, for the heck of it I checked craigslist the other day.

there were a surprising number of blue bikes to choose from...

I ended up getting this one:


once I got her home I, of course, had to take some photos:

    It's very cool. I'm like that too--once I get something in my head, I just can't move on until I've done it, but it's never really for important things like cleaning up or exercising or.... ;)
