I've been getting compliments on my bicycle helmet as I "zoom" around town. I guess a sky blue helmet with green fronds and purple flowers is a bit noticeable. Happy cycling everyone!
The next seven.
I gave this to my husband years ago. The best thing is that you never have to fumble again with tying a Windsor knot (?) with a tie like this.
Another white cat, this time without the mug of beer that was on a previously seen brooch. I seem to have a pant load of these cat brooches, but I think there is only one left to see. I wish I could recall where I got these and why I bought them but it was tres long ago.
Another homemade brooch. It's The Birth of Venus (I think of it as Venus on the Half- Shell - thanks for the name Mr. Trout) by Botticelli. We saw other frescoes with this same beautiful redhead in the Louvre. They are jaw-droppingly wonderful. When I was picking up a Timmies - medium, cream and sugar - the teenager behind the till was staring at this brooch. I blathered on about what it was until her eyes starting to glaze over - I think confusion reigned.
We used to spend some early summer days at a cottage where in the distance you would hear the soft sounds of a cow bell from the hill across the way. On this brooch, I like how the cow is still except for the swish of the tail - those damn blackflies......
A funky brooch from A One of a Kind Show. This is the only time I wear high high heels.
I'm not sure what this is. I've always thought it was a flower - well, turn your head sideways to the left (The pic should be vertical) and you might see what I mean. But, it's open to interpretation. Carol, what do you think?
There are white squirrels in Toronto. There's a wonderful park on Queen Street West, Trinity Bellwoods, where if you're lucky you'll spy one. A friend spontaneously removed this pin from her shirt and gave it to me. I'm a squirrel lover I have to admit.
No fair, demanding comments!
ReplyDeleteActually I think it looks like an artist's palette with some blobs of oil paint.
By the way, Exeter, Ont is also famous for its white squirrels.
