Heart Wax Leaf In Bloom

This is the first flower I have gotten on the plant, it smells like cooked sugar in the softball stage. I have it in front of a south-facing window, a little ways away from it. I've been feeding it with Houseplants Alive that I bought at Gardens Alive

Beaded Moonglow Ring Pic 2

Hopefully here's pic 2 of the ring, the moonglow beads have this inner glow to them, they are lightweight & made of Space-Age plastic. The rest of the beads are just glass seadbeads, & 2 small bicones.

Vintage Purple Moonglow Beaded Ring

Here is 1 pic-because GOOGLE has gone evil I'm limited to 1 pic now, of a vintage pair of moonglow beads I made into a ring.

Siamese Flame Point & Me

Here I am holding Ralphie-I named him after "The Christmas Story". He is larger than Hercules without all that extra fat hanging down to the floor. Flamepoints are the giants of the Siamese family. I am feeling SO AWFUL, like I have the flu, so I am posting even shorter, curt posts than I usually do.

Green Egg, No Ham Ring

Here is a ring with a ginormous moonglow green egg.

Me in Crochet Headband & Tri-Corner Hat

So I'm wearing an orangish headband I crocheted using the now no-longer-made Lion Brand Suede. NNNNOOOOOOO!!!! This yarn is buttery soft, perfect for clutches, tank tops, headbands, & hats. I can't believe they stopped manufacturing it.

The other pics of 2 women is my Sis & me-with the turkish cat eyes(2 different colors), wearing pansy colored eyeshadow.

My July Garden Harvest

Here are some pics of peaches, beets, & red corn-my first time growing this kind, called Ruby Queen corn.

Vintage Compacts

This is a sterling silver powder compact I did buy from a local seller, but passed on the larger one, as posted below. In the 1950s "modern art" became too closely identified with Communism, so Hollywood & the fashionable crowd turned to Mexican, Aztec, & other New World art styles. Think about the film "Bell Book & Candle", & Vincent Price's Gallery he collected alot of Ancient Mexican art & eventually, with his wife donated at least some of this to a gallery/community college. Los Angeles has the street address for it.

All this means when I saw that Aztec calendar on it I had a good idea as to when it was made, it has no maker's mark, it only says sterling silver. It has the lid that was common back then, between the mirror & the powder, & it also has the powder screen BUT no puff. So I just put a modern one in. I have searched the Net & I haven't been able to find another compact like this, needless to say I mostly keep it at home, except for special occasions.
