My new favorite object. Purchased for 10 cents at a sad little garage sale. It was an estate sale, really, given by out of town daughters who just dragged things out to sell during the clean out. There were just a few lovely items. He was a barber by trade and had clippers exactly like the ones my grandpa had, but I didn’t buy them. We were at his garage sales before. His wife was an artist and I remember he sold her paintings after she died. It was a long line of paintings. I wished I had one.

Bought this penguin too

and this.

My husband was very lucky finding these; 6 in 3 colors. Norman Cherner for Plycraft.

I love these. My mother-in-law painted them.

We had such a nice mother’s day on Sunday. Sunny weather, lunch in a fish restaurant with good beer and Bloody Mary’s and flowers.

And this surprise present from my husband.

These 2 are a pair. The same artist. What a lucky gift!

Les diaboliques, 1955. Watch this gorgeous movie.
