Spring finds

A new painting for my folk art collection. This is also carved.

Also these embroidered sun bonnet sues by a talented seamstress. I wish she had finished this quilt..

Sometimes embroideries are interesting even unfinished.

I found this lovely book for my paperback collection at an early garage sale.

Those bird houses were only $3.00.

Sunday’s Best – Jazz LPs

I woke up yesterday morning to maple tree buds all over my car.

What a dream, this early early early spring….

An early garage sale here in Michigan is usually at the start of May. But we found several this weekend. We lucked on a big collection of gorgeous mid-century Jazz lps. We have been working our way through them, listening all weekend.

A couple of hard to come by 10 inch lps with famous covers designed by David Stone Martin. We are just now listening to the Charlie Parker and it is pretty clean, maybe a little better when its been dusted properly.

We are huge fans of Miles. This record has scuffs, so not the best find. But it is a good day when we find something not already in my husband’s collection, which is pretty substantial. And I love this cover.

Ouch! What a cover! The original owners of these lps frequented Detroit’s famous Bakers Keyboard Lounge, which is the world’s oldest jazz club, in its mid-century hey dey.

This is some sort of compilation.
