She Hate Me

We left twice in one day. This will teach us but good!!!
Guess which one is my book, haha.

She Love Me #33

Every work day is Take my Daughter to work where she wraps herself on my chair legs. She is heartbreaking.

Damaged in a storm, the tree was trimmed into a trunk that's called a Snag.

Sometimes Bellie jumps onto the couch and snuggles on me. This is new and makes me laugh.

My parents wedding. Holy Family Church. 1948

My mom and dad were married in the Holy Family church *rectory*. They wouldn't allow my mom to marry in the church proper because she hadn't been raised catholic even though she had to convert from no faith to marry my dad.

This is Olly. He is the love of Bellie. He cries when he sees her.

Fire Rainbows in East St Louis. 2020

I saw Fire Rainbows in Cirrus clouds.
After 8 minutes of tracking them the fire rainbows disappeared. What a great day!

My favorite piece from my extenisve collection which I started at age 14. I was at a store called The Outlet in old, downtown STL when I found this pendant.

A hyper rare 40s New Look wool Coat by Lassie Junior. TOO fabulous!

Cake Standa

Just one of my delighful obsessions: vintage cake stands. This is a 13" Fenton Hobnail White Milk Glass Pedestal Cake Plate with a ruffle edge. My gawd, the ruffles!

Whoops

Drives me batshit.
Two things are so wrong: the brick used to fill a window is an interior brick. It's soft and eventually it will crumble. The brick wasn't rebedded.

Bullnose brick column.
Egg and dart capital.
Original copper gutter.
Stretcher bond.
Beautiful.

Bakelite

Bakelite is an old love of mine. I've collected bakelite knobs off of tossed TVs in alleys for 5 decades and turned them into drawer pulls. I love the stuff but my attachment has waned.
I mean, there's only so much room in our house.
Just some spacers.
