Gathering Brocante

gathering peace

 

In an old box: A pair of children's slippers,

a bonnet of the same fabric with sequins sewn around the crown,

a letter, a baby tooth and a carved calcite of a Eros.

Sweet souvenirs.

How do you let your inner child lead you?

 

1900s Theatrical Hat

 

A theatrical hat: Golden fabric sewn over an elaborate wire design with a few bits and bobs adding bling to a bling thing that it already is. When did it last perform? Was it a hit? Did the darling who danced with such a glamorous hat wear heels? How tall was she from head to toe? Or should I say top of her hat to the point of her shoe? Did she bring the house down?

What would your diva name be?

Mine in Coco Puff.

 

 

 

A hundred or so old letters stacked and tied with twine. From the dust gathered, and the crease of the pages, I daresay they haven't been read in over a hundred years.

Kept secrets. 

Left as is.

 

 

cupid's backside

 

Two bronze cupids, broken off a lamp, or a candlestick…

 

eve undercover

 

I spy

Eve undercover.

 

 

antique bird

 

This little bird flew to the States…

Flowers in a vase, oil painting on canvas which is barely hanging on to the frame.

And yet it does.

 

 

Nude man

 

This charcoal drawing that I loved, went for over 1600 Euros on Ebay.

Dang.

Oh well back to the brocante drawing board.

 

 

Nude female painting

 

This one is still on EBAY… I wonder if she is looking at him.

Two for the price of one.

"Santa? I know what I want."

 

 

 

wings waiting

 

"Dare you to go first!"

"No, you, first."

"I went first last time."

"No you didn't."

Wings waiting to fly.

Are you a leader or more of a follower?
