wig and lyre. I might mess with the lyre later but idk. The wig is actually really nice!
it is really big and fluffy but that was the look i was going for anyway. It isn't actually a white color either, more of a white blonde
A few months ago I bought this lovely jewelry box from the 1950s. (Yes maybe a little slowto post the pictures) It cost less than a cup of coffee so it was a real bargain. The box is green with lovely ornaments. It doesn't matter that the lock dont work.
For the moment I only have a pocket watch, pearl necklace and great grandmothers old jewelry from the 1800s in it.

When I saw this little box I had to have it. It was the find of the week and for only a couple of dollars:) I think the little mushroom on top is supposed to be a pincushion.
Carrot boxes with a sweet surprise. :-)

The back of the box features that classic black and white lineart look that Kenner and other companies often used for the rear panel. If I ever do another one, I think I'll incorporate some red ink line art also, which was common back then too.
DollTV on Amazon.com had some INCREDIBLE deals this year, so I saved up mah scratched and plunked it down. They were all free shipping if over $25, so score. All the five Neca Narnia statues (some HUGE) were only $7-$10 each, the Pink Floyd boxed set was $20 TOTAL for ALL 6 figs, and even better, it didn't show as a boxed set, only as 5 fig set, so the sixth 'boxed set exclusive' figure was a surprise!, Hitchikers Guide Jeltz & Kwaltz $5 and $13, Mole Man $5, Lost in Space Keeper 12" only $10, Neca Alien face hugger bust $12, and Muppets Swedish Chef santa only $4. Thankyou DollTV! [:D I'll be riding that high for years.
Camera gear has come a long way. However, my dad owned this wee Box Brownie when he was young and i've always thought it was an interesting looking contraption.
At the Jay Estate in Rye, we try to make history, which is often perceived as old and dusty, something fresh and relevant. To do this we rely heavily on our partnerships with area schools, other non-profits and corporate grantors like Rye's own Con Edison, all of whom have the vision to think outside the box and outside the classroom. Together, we've created new hands-on opportunities to train the "Founders" of tomorrow and promote civic engagement in a multitude of fields.
Well you can't get much more hands-on than archaeology which is a critical component of environmental review at any landmark site, including our own. So this past month, six Rye Country Day High School volunteers really lived their school's motto of "Not for Self but For Service" and put themselves through a rigorous dirt-under-your-fingernails field experience! Not only did they help uncover and identify cultural resources for JHC but they also helped create a template for mini-archaeology camps that will be offered to younger kids in Westchester later this summer.
In their report to their advisor they explained, "For our senior term project, we elected to help with an archaeological dig at the Jay Heritage Center, assisting Dr. Eugene Boesch in searching for artifacts that might reveal more about John Jay's 1745 colonial farmhouse - the home where he grew up as a child in Rye. Following criteria set by the Department of the Interior, we dug, screened, measured and catalogued 18th century square nails and iridescent glass, an assortment of glazed pottery and creamware, a clay tobacco pipe bowl marked TD and a pipe stem, and pieces of animal bones. But our most exciting find was probably a prehistoric tool or scraper revealing the presence of earlier First Nations encampments on the site. We learned that archaeology is a necessary part of environmental review since our cultural resources are fragile and not renewable. "
While most adults might stereotype kids this age as being glued to the screens on their I-phones, these girls worked diligently and thoughtfully mastering large wooden screens to sift shovelfuls of earth for artifacts. The prize? Holding a prehistoric stone blade in their hands, one they dug up themselves after 3 patient, buggy days in the hot sun. As one girl admitted, it had that "Wow, Indiana Jones" excitement to it but it also made them appreciate that other people "breathed" here.
At the end of the week, the girls cleaned, labeled and photographed their finds. Several asked if they could come back as counselors for the mini-archaeology camp, hoping to witness the same excitement on the faces of a dozen 10 year old summer campers when they make their own awesome discoveries.
It is close partnerships with area schools and corporate grantors like Con Edison that make programs of civic engagement like this possible. Students leave our site with visual and tactile impressions more indelible than looking at any image in a textbook or Smart board. As a result, they are the ones digging even deeper for greater, more visible returns on their hard work when they come back to volunteer again.

Another successful Craigslist adventure. Went to pick up this set today. It is the Spring Blossom Cinderella Bowl Set. It had NEVER been taken out of the box. The ad said it was a wedding gift from 1972! The icing on the cake is that this set cost me $10!
I am not planning on using these bowls but I just couldn't leave them in the box. It just didn't feel right! It was really exciting to open the box though :)
the best damn gift box that wasn't a gift.
- a pound of the best butter ever
- organic radishes, beets and apples
- wisconsin cheese
- pumpernickel raisin bread
The day we adopted Daisy, she came home in a box like all our dogs have, but halfway through the long drive she crawled out into my lap. She fell asleep and started dreaming. She was too sweet - such a little lovey!
3 of the boxed up cupcakes for Grace's teachers, just as a little thank you as she comes to the end of Year 11.
New building in Perth above the Murray Street entrance to Perth underground station. It's like boxes piled up on one another - very cool. I want to come back here on a windy day with some clouds and the 10 stop ND filter to get some movement in the sky.

The 'bike box' Romulo and I put together at Narda's last night for my flight out of Manila this evening. Might have been better just to wheel the bike into the airport, turn the handlebars and check it in, but just in case...
The remaining photos from this night walk in the area beside the lodge.
This was a total surprise to me. I had no idea they would even live here.
Mechanically locking Thuxton signal box. Richard inspecting the first circuit controller mounted on the frame made from point rodding. There will be three rows on the frame, all but three levers will have them attached. Linkages attached to the levers need to provide sufficient travel on the arm of the circuit controllers.
