Rust is Like a Joke…..You Either Get it, or You Don’t
November 3, 2011 by 26 Comments
I’m the kind of person who doesn’t get jokes. They usually have to be explained to me, and often, I still don’t get them. Rust…I get. In fact, I really “get” rust, and I get a lot of it! A friend of mine dropped by for a visit last week. She was looking at my office and workshop, and when looking at some of my old tools, made a comment about my rusty “junk”. She didn’t use the word, “junk” in the same way that {Read More}

November 2, 2011 by 21 Comments
I scored a large box of sheet music datingfrom the 1800’s tonight at the auction house —an absolute symphony of it! I hated to practice the piano as a child,and regret that, but I absolutelylove the look of musical notes on sheet music – especially really aged sheet music. So, today’s antique graphics comefrom the cover pages of some of them.These covers have the mostgorgeous graphics and typography.

October 28, 2011 by 3 Comments

I bought bunches of old bottles and they started selling very quickly, but I was busy “dressing” a newly remodeled spot in my house (that I’ll show you soon) and just grabbed all the amber bottles to see how they looked. I still had {Read More}
