Discovering, Recovering, and Hovering!

So, as I continue to enjoy my fall journey,

I consistently discover 

many many quirky, astonishing, 

and entertaining things in and about 

my new little city.

Discovering

Every week, if not at times, every day, 

as I take my walk around the lake,

I see my little friend (below).

 She's been named Marchesa!

 Isn't she lovely, and fashionably feathery?

 Life inspires fashion.

And, 

 I believe Marchesa 

should feel very honored that 

her look was chosen 

for a movie premier.

dress by Giambattista Valli 

Love this look.

I'd prefer to wear it,

this way!

Also, along the way, 

I continue to recover 

(bring back to it's useful place)

 my favorite 

 vintage furniture and clothing.

Recovering

My recent find at Goodwill--

 (OK, actually, my little sister found the bar cart, 

and called me right away!).

$27 later, the impeccable conditioned, 

heavy, brass, bar cart, and brass lamp,

were in my car, headed to storage for my new home.

I was ecstatic with my purchase, 

especially when I found 

 a similar model had just sold, 

at auction,

on ebay,

 for $831.00

after 33 bids, 

with shipping an additional $200.

And, last,

here is my newest project!

History is oozing from this home.

Dated back to 1966,

custom built for spacelab astronaut, 

Owen K. Garriott,

his wife, and four children.

Hovering

Poor contractors........

I'm at the sight, everyday.

I believe in 

"measure twice, cut once".

I am considerate to them.

They are considerate to me.

I'll be posting photos in the next few weeks!

Have a blessed week! xo
