Looking close... on Friday! theme : Dots and Stripes
For this photoshoot, I decided to use the pegs standing up instead of on a line so that the little hearts are in the correct orientation. Since Autumn is my favorite season, the maple leaves here were a natural complement for this picture.
Hope you enjoy!
Thank you everyone for your visits, faves, and kind comments

All the bookmarks that I use are these cards given out by shops, organisations or tradespeople. I have collected these from my most recent reads.
This is a single flower I picked in the garden. The vase, bottom right, is an old fashioned glass milk bottle. I edited the photograph in Snapseed and on Flickr.
Shot for "Looking close... on Friday!", Theme: Wise Words
I keep this can of engine starter fluid handy to help me start my aging lawn mower used to mow my postage-stamp sized Southern California lawn. The fluid is meant to be combustible, but I guess they needs these wise words on the can so someone doesn’t get accidentally hurt from misuse.
The Easter Bunny can be traced back to Thirteenth Century, pre-Christian Germany, where people worshiped several gods and goddesses. The Teutonic deity Eostra was the goddess of spring and fertility, and feasts were held in her honor on the Vernal Equinox. Her symbol was the rabbit because of the animal’s high reproduction rate. In the Eighteenth Century, the tradition of an egg-laying hare called “Osterhase” or “Oschter Haws” also came out of Germany.
Easter Eggs represent the birth of new life, and it’s believed that decorating eggs for Easter also dates back to the Thirteenth Century. Hundreds of years ago, churches had their congregations abstain from eggs during Lent, allowing them to be consumed again on Easter.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 8th of April is “eggs in black and white” as we draw nearer to Easter 2022. Therefore, I am celebrating with Peter Rabbit, who whilst not the Easter Bunny, is a well loved character from my childhood. "The Tale of Peter Rabbit" is a children's book written and illustrated by Beatrix Potter, published in 1901, that follows mischievous and disobedient young Peter Rabbit as he gets into, and is chased around, the garden of Mr. McGregor. This Peter Rabbit egg-shaped lidded tin was a gift from a friend Easter two years ago. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile

Bamboo by the roadside. In bamboo, as in other grasses, the internodal regions of the stem are usually hollow and the vascular bundles in the cross-section are scattered throughout the stem instead of in a cylindrical arrangement. The dicotyledonous woody xylem is also absent. The absence of secondary growth wood causes the stems of monocots, including the palms and large bamboos, to be columnar rather than tapering.[4]
Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world,[5] due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 910 mm (36 in) within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 40 mm (1+1⁄2 in) an hour (a growth around 1 mm every 90 seconds, or 1 inch {2.54 centimeters} every 40 minutes).[6] Giant bamboos are the largest members of the grass family. This rapid growth and tolerance for marginal land, make bamboo a good candidate for afforestation, carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation.
Bamboos are of notable economic and cultural significance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia, being used for building materials, as a food source, and as a versatile raw product. Bamboo, like wood, is a natural composite material with a high strength-to-weight ratio useful for structures.[7] Bamboo's strength-to-weight ratio is similar to timber, and its strength is generally similar to a strong softwood or hardwood timber.[8][9]

As a fan of natural remedies I have a whole battery of Globuli that can support mental and physical wellbeing as a first aid and they come in these bottles.
Pebbles and a silver fish make a necklace here. When it's very hot in the summer I put it in the fridge before I wear it :)))

I have a gazillions of horses (well not so much truly after I got Marie Kondo'ed :D) and was thinking of the porcelain pair which the interested viewer can find in one of my albums here on Flickr, and since they are in a group I wanted to find something different and then focused on this pendant that must be 4 decades old ... I got it from my parents during horse-crazy-girl-times back in the days and there was nothing than my horse Nicky and me... While working on this shot I realized that his left front leg is shorter, worn off through the years. I used to wear a necklace 24/7 - never took it off, not even when showering or at night (you can see ne wearing it on my older selfies here ). So this shows on this little fellow. I do have a golden seahorse pendant, and I frantically looked for it but so far couldn't find it - it was worn off at the loop and I meant to bring it to a goldsmith - before covid. Pls cross fingers I ' ll find it! Thanks
My partner works in the community as a carer, and he gets to witness the best and worst in people. The former includes a small number of people who give him home grown produce as a special thanks for the care he provides with politeness and attention to detail. What they don't know is that he can't even boil an egg! Luckily, I am the cook out of the two of us and happily use what he is given. In this case, not only will this freshly picked lemon soon become part of a Lemon Delicious pudding, it also serves as a suitable subject for this week's "Looking Close on Friday" theme.
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 28th of May is “tasty minimalism”. I hope that you like my choice.
“There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” on the 12th of February is “roses”. I thought this perfect “Black Magic” rose bloom with her velvety petals, taken in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens in Melbourne, was the right choice. I think she is very beautiful, and represents the shape, form and rich colour that make roses such a favourite flower.
The “Black Magic” rose is loved worldwide for its fascinating deep, dark red, almost black coffee coloured velvety petals and continuous flowering. The blooms are a classic rose shape with a high pointed centre. “Black Magic” is one of very few red roses to produce excellent blooms during our hot summers. “Black Magic” was bred and introduced by Tantau in 1997. Rosen Tantau, located in Northern Germany, has been breeding roses successfully for more than a century. One of its specialties is the creation of Hybrid Tea Roses suitable for the garden and cut flower industry. Black Magic has become very popular around the world as one of the best deep red roses which is relatively disease resistant and produces many quality flowers throughout the entire season.
The St Kilda Botanical Gardens are a very beautiful place to visit, not least for all for their wonderful array of roses found in the Alister Clarke Rose Garden. The site of the St Kilda Botanical Gardens were established in the 1800's. The municipal council petitioned the Department of Lands and Survey to make this segment of land bordered by Dickens Street, Tennyson Street and Blessington Street a Botanic Garden. The gardens were formally established in 1859 when a boundary fence was erected. By 1907 significant donations of money and plant material had led to the establishment of a rosary, extensive flower beds and a nursery. Exotic forest trees were planted during the 1870s and Australian species were included in 1932. In the 1950s the Alister Clarke Rose Garden was established and a Sub-Tropical Rain-forest conservatory added in the early 1990's.

This silver drinks set is not all it may appear to be at first glance. It is in fact a 1:12 miniature drinks set, made by artisan Clare Bell at the Clare Bell Brass Works in Maine, in the United States. Each goblet is only one centimetre in height and the decanter at the far end is two- and three-quarter centimetres with the stopper inserted.
The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” is “all in a row”.
When I heard the theme, I really wanted to do something using simple silver pieces reflecting off a mirrored surface. This miniature 1:12 artisan drinks set arrived at my home recently after several months in transit. I had almost given up hope that I would ever see it when it arrived. It seemed to be the perfect choice for the theme. I hope you agree.
Clare-Bell Brass Works is an American manufacturer of fine dollhouse miniatures. Each miniature is precision machined from solid brass or silver metal, carefully hand assembled, and in some cases gold plated for lasting beauty. They are located in Lovell, Maine.
My grandmother had a sewing machine she used for alterations. My mother also had a sewing machine. I learned at a young age to use my mom’s sewing machine to made a few pillows out of scrap fabric.
I loved being creative from a young age and once I got to middle school would frequently use my elective credits for Home Economic classes. I continued to take those classes through high school. I got good enough sewing to make myself a few shirts and a 3-piece suit. When I graduated high school, the Home Ec. Department awarded me with a small Home Ec. Scholarship (the first boy in the history of my school to earn one).
My grandmothers sewing supplies were passed to my mom. And when my mom stopped sewing, she gave me her machine and sewing box. This collection of buttons likely has a few buttons over 60 years old. My grandmother would have been tickled to see this photo.
I never through out a button. You never know when one will come in handy! (I have the same philosophy for spare nuts, bolts and screws)
