I just can't pass up a weird or unusual piece of...well anything. It just seems to strike a chord deep within me. I guess cause I'm a bit weird and unusual...in a good sort of way I hope. So when I came across this piece I took it. Not sure at the time how it would serve a purpose until...

...it joined my growing bottle cottage plant holder thingys. Please ignore the death by freezing cactus in the cottages. I forgot to grab these one evening when the temperatures were falling.

And just picked these up yesterday
at the Antique Mall when I went to put
some more stuff in my booth. Will they
became more garden stakes...who knows.

While out taking pics in the garden
I snapped a few table vignettes
on the porch
to share for my first time to join
TABLETOP TUESDAY.

And to tie all these different memes together
I need a little French thread on
a vintage paper RED spool.

Playing cause everything is on it's
2nd Time Around

Let's play Antique Road Show!

I missed Blue Monday yesterday

at Smiling Sally's with this
valuable vase.

At least I think it is...

Have any of you guys
ever seen anything like this?

She is 8 1/2" tall and there are no
markings on her bottom.

See the lovely little bow on her neck
and the bright gold accents?

Well, does anyone have a clue
about this blue beauty?

And speaking of playing... some clever gal out there in blogland made some flowers from recycled coffee filters. So I started saving mine. Just a little rinse in the sink and laid them out to dry. And this morning while having my second cup I grabbed the stack and started twisting and tweaking. Then attached them to an an abandoned wire flower thingy with some floral tape. Six blooms in all. Now that can't be right, I seem to remember some rule about uneven numbers. I better recount...1-2-3-4-5-6-7. Lucky me!

Now that's what I call goin' green!

And 7 recycled roses allows me to play
3 or More Tuesday with

The Gypsy's Corner

The Cat's Meow

1-2-3 little evening bags hanging on the wall.

Latest find at my local thrift store,
gold metal shell shape, pretty neat.

Another thrift store find, nice but not old.
Black beaded body with a carved metal top.

Now this one is old and has been in the
family treasures since...well before my time.

And I'll sneak in this little creation I put
together with a trivet from the thrift store,
vintage taffeta ribbon, and the picture...
my MIL in her early years, what a beauty.

And all these items are on their 2nd Time Around
Around my house.

Today I was killing a little time while my son was in Spanish class at his Community College in the big city...Austin. (Dual credit courses for high school and college.) While flipping through the pictures came across this sweet black cat and he just jumped right into my cart.

Have done a little web search which seems promising. Dr. David Kwo was known for his ink paintings in which 'he blended the disciplined art of Chinese calligraphic brush strokes and with Western emphasis on freedom, creativity, and improvisation.' There is mention of a painting of his black cat, Kim which was given to his daughter. I think I have a little more investigation to do...could this be Kim?

Life is so busy around here lately,
I am so missing out on blogging and visiting,
but hope you have time to check out

THREE OR MORE TUESDAY
at The Gypsy's Corner
and
2nd TIME AROUND
at A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words
