i should make some more

I am participating in Tara's Valentine Swap and well I feel quite intimidated. Have you seen her layer? Oh my, that girl has some mad pretty skills. 

Valentine's Day is Monday and I needed to get cracking. So, channeling my inner Tara, I gathered up an armload of vintage lace and quirky bits and managed to impress myself. I hope my swappy swap partner likes her Valentine from the west coast. Now I need to make more, I have been in too much of a gloomy gloom to get ahead for heart day. I really wanted to send y'all something pretty. Maybe I still will, just not by Monday.

Happy almost Valentine's Day!

abandoned pink

On Superbowl Sunday we went out for a photo day with a flickr friend. We left before 8am and hit up the James Dean Memorial and Jack Ranch Cafe just in time for pie and coffee. More about that on goin' with the a-go-gos.

Mister drove and we hollered out stop every time something caught our fancy. There were hills and shadows and all sorts of pretty but I think the best find of the day was this abandoned salmon pink auto garage. It was pink people. Salmon pink! How awesome is that?

While the mister kept an eye out in the sun, Adrianna and I s l o w l y crept inside taking cautious photos here and there and only startling once when a cat appeared out of nowhere. It was rickety and crickety inside as the wind blew the tin this-way and that but the light was so pretty. A meadowlark camped out on the tippy-top of the building sing-songing away as we took picture after picture of the dark and dusty space.

I can't tell if the artist of these stars was going for anarchy or spooky devil stuff, either way it cracked me up. We need some original taggers to make their way here don't ya think?
