I have this one really BIG thing that I want to try to incorporate into my gypsy wagon. It is a silk lampshade that measures about 30" across. Right now it sits atop a beautiful antique lamp of dark wood with a table in the center but it is removable and just the right color....a deep red. Couldn't I just put one of those simple light bulb fixtures on a cord through the center and have it for a reading light or something? I can't imagine storing it and I really love it. Not everything has to be small, right?
Tackling the game closet now. Was just informed that games make excellent wedding gifts. I have such smart friends!
These go...maybe I'll take some to the homeless shelter!
1. A Hallmark puzzle of a Tiffany window, 1000 pieces, all there (didn't count, remember taking it apart)
2. Quiddler
3. Last Word
4. In The Garden - a cool tessalation puzzle game
5. A wooden cigar box filled with African themed zoo animals and finger puppets
Lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe trumpet vine is superb. The Anna's Hummingbird, weighing in at a scant 4.8 grams is superb. The creepy teenager is superb. The fact you got there in time with your camera, amazing.
ReplyDeleteI had a pair of western tanagers blasting toward my office window about 7am Wednesday. The male made the cut at the last second and hopped on a branch. The female smacked straight in, tiny feathers flying and falling immediately to her death. I burst into tears, I saw the whole thing, the male sat in the tree for a few seconds like, "bro, where are you? hey, where'd you go?" and I went out, Gary kindly picked up her little warm body up for me and put her in my hand and I cried hard as I walked her out under the big tree in the meadow and laid her down and covered her with some dried flowers. Oh, it made my heart hurt so bad. I have a love hate relationship with glass. I love it for everything, I hate it for birds. :(
So sad about the bird, a sweet couple out for a joyride. I love that you know exactly what kind of hummer is in my picture and what it weighs. How about a bird feeder suction cupped to your window in your office? You could see them up close and personal and it might prevent tragedy?
