newest (old. very old) stuffs

Which includes, but is surely not limited to:

crazy hand-painted teapot

 featuring looks like a Balkan or Turkish dignitary.   That's Lucinda in the background.

He appears both on the body of the teapot AND the lid. Which is cool.  

Not to be outdone, we got...

 spice-containing chicken thingies, perfect for the country or chicken-intensive decor.

Next up, the wicked cool double slot letter holder or napkin holder or both.

Because it has two sections.

And lastly (for this post of new old stuffs, but I got more I haven't even done nothing with yet), we got cute sock monkeys.

the Tuesday Song of the Week

On YouTube today's Tuesday Song of the Week is identified as 'soul.'  

My idea of soul is something slowish and angsty-ish, like 'Ain't No Sunshine.'  

Today's entry is up-tempo and very boppy.

Dig.

Good morning

The sky over my part of the City of Bothersome Love circa 6:30 a.m. this morning:

A (mini) miracle

Yesterday morning, I was working on fixing...

Lucinda's (that's her above) outdoor...

 feral shelter*

I was crouching on the ground rather than sitting, and suddenly...

 I slipped and landed on my right knee.  It hurt like CRAZY.  And I thought, 'Well if it hurts this bad, even in the unlikely event that I don't completely lose my mind from the pain, I probably won't be able to do my shift** this morning.'

I was able to finish what I was doing with the shelter (yay me), and when I struggled up and got back into the house and...

suddenly my knee didn't hurt AT. ALL.  

*Lucinda is no longer what I would consider feral.  She's gone from being afraid to be any closer than 15 feet away from me to wanting to sleep on my lap.  But she still refuses to come into the house, hence the feral shelter.  Note that the shelter in the picture is the same type of shelter I have, but the pic is from the manufacturer, and not my yard.  Note also that the reason I was fixing it is that the awning keeps falling off, thereby letting rain and stuff in.

** The referred to shift was my weekly two hours helping take care of the cats in the PetSmart adoption center at Cottman and Bustleton, City of Bothersome Love.  

God is good.

Something else for you

new (old) stuffs!

Such as...

beYOOtiful Fenton Silver Crest Spanish Lace milk glass candlesticks

moving from the lady-like to the macho, here's a cast iron Keen Kutter dealie for the wall of your man cave

And for something that can appreciated by everyone...

An early 1970s MUSIC BOX angel !

Wind up what she's standing on and hear 'Silent Night.'

I'm guessing this item was VERY popular, since her 'do appeared on a number of lady rock singers in the late 1970s and early '80s.

Lastly, we have a shout out from the late Victorian era, in the form of

an adorable little farm girl.

She looks worlds better in person.

Beautifully made, and an awesome addition to the Victorian decor.

All of the above -- the candlesticks, the Keen Kutter thingummy, the musical angel, the little farm girl -- can be had from my Etsy store!  Go here:

Update: all of the above have been sold.

Can we talk the Guess Who?

How come we only ever get to hear 'American Woman' (which I hate) and 'No Time' (ditto), but we never never ever ever get to hear the super-awesome 'Tuff E. Nuff' -- which can't even be found on YouTube -- and the similarly super-awesome...
