Neckties from the 40s
The bottom tie has a brick design!
The color of masculinity in the 40s was a deep burgundy. As seen on smoking jackets and neckties.

Snags
The arboratum that is my back yard is home maintains a dead trees. They are called snags and are important to wildlife such as woodpeckers, kestrels, owls, nuthatches and bluebirds. Many mammals use tree cavities in snags, including bats, squirrels, raccoons, and opossums.
Ask the child near you how many ways a tree can be identified but only if you know the answer.

I love paper, all paper, all kinds. I love crunching notebook paper in my hands.
I do this at my desk and toss the piece at my feet to signify I am through with the page but I'm not. I'll pick it up and crunch it again and again until its crispness has turned itno softenss.
The rag business evolved into paper but only for the last century.

Joel Resnicoff for Espirt skirt
A hyper rare 80s Joel Resnicoff for Espirt skirt that I sold on Etsy.
His brother bought it.
Had I kept it, and I wanted to, I would have cut it and framed its pieces.
