REnew shoes

 These red Danskos were a thrifting find. ($6!! In my size!) But I wasn't feeling the red. Not a usual color for me. I'm pretty much a neutrals girl.With some sunsety/autumnal/blue tossed in occasionally. So I ordered some leather dye and black they will be!

 Aaaaand Ta-Da! Pretty good , no?

I've been wearing them pretty much every day. But hoo-boy that dye is pretty toxic. I dyed them on the patio, but I still felt a bit lightheaded afterwards. Ah, what are a few brain cells for beautiful, practical, high quality, cheap shoes?

Creature

New Creature. He does not approve of your shenanigans.

I imagine him pinned to your lapel, chaperoning a night on the town. From a different angle his expression changes to unease.

 He disapproves because he cares. ;)

Blueberries

Blueberry pancakes for breakfast.Frozen berries dye your batter a purple-y grey.Fresh ones don't.
 When big girl was 2 or 3, she looked just like the main character in 'Blueberries for Sal', with her little blonde bob.



Do you know that book? Beautiful black and white drawings and a sweet story.Makes me want to visit Maine.

Seeing spots

 Craftiness is happening at our house. Painting unbleached canvas for bags and clutches soon to be in the shop. Little signs of love. Big girl and I both like playing with scissors, and leaves.

Summer storm this evening. We've been listening to it slowly approach us. There is something so primally stirring about storms.A spontaneous haiku: {ahem}
                                         
                                           Summer storm so large,
                                       Right now we are very small,
                                            We are not in charge.

Wonderful skulls made from glue and compressed spices by Helen Altman. I bet the gallery these were displayed in smelled wonderful.

I love the little smile on Rainbow Cloud's face.
