Therapy

Thank goodness for art, and vintage treasure hunting; what would I do without them, to take my mind off of life?

January has been like this (my front yard); even when there's no snow on the ground, it's so cold, there should be.

Here's a larger version of my Living the Dream collage

I used some of the really good stuff -- like this photo of women on the porch that shows their big butts, er, bustles.

I love the look on this ladys face.

And, of course, I had to add some Barbies.

I painted over the smaller Living the Dream collage, and I like it better this way.

I spent an inordinate amount of time shopping at the Goodwill Outlet yesterday; above, my two favorite finds of the day.  More on those later!

At another thrift store, I found this lovely, valentine-y hankie!

And these postcards were thrifty finds at an antique store, for 25 cents each.

They were especially fun because they were written on; above, she asks if there "are any easy speaks in your neighborhood"

And this guy..."Best like to have got stuck in the mud coming home and near blew away after."

Take a good look at the photo above -- click on it to make it larger -- this is the car I parked across from when I was at the Goodwill Outlet yesterday.  It's the first time I ever looked at a car in a thrift store parking lot and thought, Here is someone who does not need to be here!  (Which is what my husband thinks every time I go near one...!)

Thank you for stopping by!  Have a wonderful, creative week!
