Upcycle
I love the challenge of found objects that I can upcyle into a sale.
This vintage bag had a filthy rope handle when I found it. I hung it upside down in bleach to restore it. Sold on Etsy.

My First Loves in Life
Bakelite which I was collecting as a teenager. And those wild, Czech glass pendants in gold plated filigree.
1/2015
Sitting in the sunbeam with her face raised to the light. Her love of sunlight makes me think she was kept in a box or garage. She was up to 41 pounds in this photo. She'd surrently at her correct weight of 58 pounds: The worlds smallest Golden due to being forced to breed at 6 months and never achieving her adult body size. This also happens to humans.
Bellie meets an Infant
And then she fell in love. I've never known a dog creature such as her. She looked up at me to share her awe and joy.

Dream
What woke me: Dreaming of a male doctor straddling my body with a hot iron in his left hand about to descend and 'burn the cancer out of my chest'. I'm talking about an ironing board iron. I was screaming at him that we needed to discuss the treatment when I woke.
I much preferred the amusing hummingbird dream of yesternight.
The poor hummingbird circling my head thinking sweetness was in there. No, I don't have cancer but a friend is currently in treatment.

MLK Day. 2020
This woman at the Goodwill allowed me take her photo after our conversation.
Me: Are you wearing that scarf to honor Tupac today?
Her: YESSSSS!!!! You are the only person to notice and I mean the ONLY person!
Me: That has to be odd.
Her (looking me over): It really is.

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.
