The Looking close … on Friday group has chosen Zipper this week. The pull tag broke so I replaced it with a small keyring.
(I wonder why they call zips "zippers" in the US?)
I'm not a girly girl, or woman I should say :), so no bows in my house, just on some of my bra's.
This one has such a nice colour and lace, love that.
Happy looking close....on Friday!

The theme for “Looking Close… on Friday” Friday 8th of January is “calendar”, so I decided that before I wrote on my beloved Alphonse Mucha wall calendar that I buy every year, I would photograph a corner of it. The Alphonse Mucha image you see in the corner closest to us is a detail of “Têtes Byzantines – Blonde” (1897) which appears in my calendar on the month of September: my birthday month.
I wish all my Flickr friends and followers a brighter and happier New Year than the one we have left behind.
Alfons Maria Mucha (1860 – 1939), known internationally as Alphonse Mucha, was a Czech painter, illustrator and graphic artist, living in Paris during the Art Nouveau period, best known for his distinctly stylized and decorative theatrical posters, particularly those of Sarah Bernhardt.

Poker, in itself, may be considered dangerous to one's financial status but this hand goes a step further. James Butler ("Wild Bill") Hickok (May27, 1837-August 2, 1876) was a folk legend of the American Old West. He was fatally shot in the back while playing poker in Deadwood, Dakota Territory (Present-day South Dakota). He is alleged to have been holding 2 pairs (Aces and Eights) at the time of the event. The hand became known as "The Dead Man's Hand" and the superstitious has been considered bad luck and even dangerous. Such was certainly true for Wild Bill.
This beautiful butterfly insisted on landing on a hydrangea that is long past its best...so it's more fauna than flora!

My wife and I were first introduced to this delicious combination on our first vacation to Mexico 30+ years ago. It was prepared and served to us this way every morning. It has been a treat for us ever since.

Seemed a good shot for Looking Close...on Friday and low_key theme. I visited a woman whose late husband had a collection of antique cash registers. Focus is the key buttons on this autographic cash register hidden under the brass cover.
From an email received by the owner of antiquecashregistercollector.com/ : "The machine is a National (Cash Register) Model 45. These are called autographic machines (create a copy of the sales receipt). Produced 1898-1911, this particular model was a mid range machine (in price)."
This antique autographic register is simply a wooden box with a gold plate that has an opening for receipts which is right below the glass window seen in the photo. The receipts were created using carbon paper. The buttons create a combination lock that only the proprietor knew in order for the machine to open the cash drawer. The box was taped up so didn't get a chance to look inside.

For the Looking-Close-on-Friday Group ' s theme "Silver and Gold" - my double ring made by an Irish goldsmith, silver with golden beads at the open ends of the rings. I have taken pictures of it for other Flickr groups because it really is one of my favourite rings and worn a lot as you can see.

It's spring over here…in the southern hemisphere... but there are still some autumn leaves left in my garden.
Have a great day, everyone!

The Looking close … on Friday group has chosen Spirals this week.
I was so torn between another composition and the simplicity and comparison of my shoe size and my husband’s. He’s a size 12 6E wide and I am a 10 medium. It’s a standard household joke about the enormity of his feet. Considering I’m 5ft 3 people we laugh about that too 😁😳
When I was a child, I grew up listening to my maternal grandmother reading faerie tales to me from a big (at least from a child's perspective) green leather bound volume of Grimm's Faerie Tales with fine gilding and marbled edges. However, that wasn’t the only volume she read from. She also introduced me to the wonderful characters created by Lewis Carroll through “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and “Alice’s Adventures Through the Looking Glass” which she had in an omnibus edition from the 1920s in grey vellum with all the characters’ names written in ever reducing squares and font as a border to the title.
It is from these stories that I have taken my inspiration for the theme for “Looking Close… on Friday!” for October 13th, which is “mushrooms”. If you have ever read “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, or seen one of the multitude of television and film adaptations, you will be familiar with the caterpillar who sat on a mushroom smoking a hookah who told Alice that eating one side of the mushroom would make her taller and one side would make her smaller. You would also know that the whole reason Alice first went to Wonderland was by following the White Rabbit, who was late for the Queen of Hearts croquet party, down a rabbit hole. The amalgam of these two things led to this pairing of macro photos. Alice and the White Rabbit are both miniatures who live inside a small jar terrarium that I was given as a Christmas gift by a dear friend some years ago, whilst the mushrooms with their luscious shiny red tops are hand painted polystyrene examples that I picked up from a craft shop. The woodland setting is a small patch of my garden where the clivias are. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile!
I would like to acknowledge and thank my Flickr Friend Red Stilletto www.flickr.com/photos/thevixen/ for inspiring me to use the pairing of two images and the application of a wide white frame. Both of these design elements she uses to create great impact with her own images.
