Legend at a park near my parents' house where I went a visiting a couple of days ago.  My parents have 4 dogs; 1 relatively obedient, 2 hyper-active and the 4th, painfully old.  My dad walks them all together everyday, hard to say how he manages it!  He has a very high threshold for chaos.

On a bridge. I tried to lift the leaf up to see what was underneath, but it was firmly cemented down!  I liked the "just so" placement of the little ring thing around one of its lobes as well, so in the photo it stayed.

I had a little Etsy store selling vintage a couple of years ago, but had to stop when I ran out of room.  I am slowly but surely getting back into the game, now that I have one closet full of vintage items that don't fit me but that I knew would be perfect for another vintage loving gal such as myself.  I listed a couple of things today.... I want to have a grand re-opening and am entertaining ideas on how to celebrate.

At a mall job, one day the girl from L'Occitane came by with three little topiaries and said she was going to throw them out if she couldn't find anyone to take them.  She couldn't take them home, but she knew that someone would really like to have them. That person was me.  This is my desk topiary; there are 2 on either side of the buffet downstairs.

Today I got dressed up in some office finery to spend the day going through the classifieds. I got a Greek quesadilla and some iced tea to keep me company.

I thought it was funny that pink preceded green, just like in my project!  Here I am at Barnes and Noble trying to read away my woes in the magazine aisle.  I always yearn to buy the really expensive ones to use in collage projects, but as long as I can safely take photos while reading the magazine in-store, why not print them out and then use them in my projects?  I know.  I know.  My cheapness sometimes outpaces my decency.

Yours,

I've got all my photos up to date, pretty much, but am lagging on posting on here.  I think I'm figuring out that I don't really care for green... there aren't too many good opportunities to capture it... this is a glimpse of my friend's apartment, on the night to end all nights.  For an informal gathering of less than 15 people, things got a bit outta hand.  I did not discriminate afterwards and enjoyed some tasty seafood leftovers.  Everyone knows you never eat the seafood leftovers!  Well, I did, and I paid for it handsomely the next day. 

Yours,
Elissa.
