SPT- May 5, 2009 Something Old

http://www.lellysmusings.blogspot.com/

This month Lelly went to back to a SPT that has been done in the past. but since this is my first year participating it is new to me. So here goes...Something old...

There are a number of things old in this Self Portrait:

  • I, with my arthritis and gray hair I keep coloring, could be the old.
  • The Disney kaleidoscope that a friend gave me as a gift for my collection.
  • The wonderful old yellow stool and cart behind me are from my grandfather's house.
  • The old Coca-Cola paraphernalia on the cart.
  • The old turquoise couch that I'm sitting on was $35 at a garage sale.
I will have to tell you almost everything in my family room is old. Whether it be the furniture, the decor or the collections. We have a great appreciation for the old, the retro, the formerly loved, the big trash day finds, the treasures the come from age. You can always count on me for a look into the past via the things I cherish.

  7. What I love about your old stuff, it does not have any of that old grimy smelly feel. I can walk into your house and not feel like I need to shower afterward! (love the kaleidoscope!)
