for barbara*

I tried, Barbara!  I really did. 

In frustration, I cut myself out of this picture 

and tried again in another room. 

But this picture DOES show a mirror
we once found

curbside (if my memory serves me right)
and the back of a wooden rocking chiar
that belonged to my grandparents...

I tried another photo in a corner of our kitchen/dining area.

This is the result.  My friend gave me the brown capri pants that I'm wearing.  

I really wanted them to fit, but they are too tight.

I didn't wear them out of the house.

If I HAD worn this outfit,

this long strand of amber-like beads

would have seen the light of day.  

But they didn't.

*Barb emailed me to ask where I've been.

This is my subtle way of saying why I've not been posting

so much here.  I've not been to the thrift store for awhile either.

I'm trying to divest rather than collect.
Don't worry though.  I have plenty left for show and tell!
