Playing

Okay, if your anything like me, when you get on overload, you zone out (at least that's my excuse
and I'm sticking to it)!  Those are the times when I  loose myself, creating something so I don't have to think.

                                                                             

Don't think hubby quite gets it all!  Yesterday was one of those days to say the least. So like the fool I am, I stayed up way past my bedtime (ashamedly). This is the result.  Seem to be in a Paris funk lately.  Blame it on the girls on the Vintage Altered thread on etsy, (you know who you are).  Some of the graphics for the right hand card came from The Graphics Fairyhttp://graphicsfairy.blogspot.com/
The other collage on the left, was created from  photo's  I found on Steff's blog http://stephanie-elena.blogspot.com/, thanks to some of the terrific blogs I follow .   So why not GO grab yourself a cup of java,  play and just have some fun for a while.
Both these blogs have brag days, so you can show off all you fine pretties!
Make it a PLAYDAY!

........Vintage mix..........

I love vintage.  The detail, that old world feel of another time and place.  This obsession must have started very young.  I remember having a Bessie Peace picture forever.  My Aunt gave it to me when I was two.

I was also given a beautiful Children's Shakespeare book at the age of 4.  The picture on the right is from this book from the story Pericles.   Dedicated to my dearest daughter, dated 1896. It is a little worse for wear, but I love the soft sepia tones.
I guess it makes me wonder who owned this book, did it come from England and who was dearest daughter. And so the love of old continues on.
