Oh, if those shoes could talk...
Ladies, excuse my naiveté but, one wears this particular footwear out when one is seeking a fun time, attention of the opposite sex and an accent to an already existing figure, highlighting the more lengthy parts... usually (but not always!) with alcohol and the devil's music involved, so unless this is the chosen accessory for doing the vacuuming around the house, or planting begonias out in the garden, there is probably a tale or two involved here, I would guess.
(Of note: I am going to tag this photo with "high heels"... hmmm... I wonder if it will attract more Flickr views... hmmm...)
A 19th century government building in Newcastle lives on to host a private sector business.
E. Ludwig Meritar 50mm f2.9 @ f8.
Most people have mobile phones now so the use of the traditional telephone box has plummeted but there are a few that have been re-evaluated like this one in Nottingham.
A work of art in progress! The old mills are coming back to life. This mill is huge (photo doesn't show it). It is called Riverwalk Lofts--they offer studio, 1-2-3 bedrooms. The photos under amenities on their website Riverwalk Lofts are fabulous. Lawrence, MA
Getty Avenue Yard Paterson N.J. January 1975. I know that it served as a Stillwell Coach when built but will leave it up to the people who know to determine its exact purpose now. My guess is track gang kitchen car or camp car. What are all those holes for above the windows? Notice the TV antenna on the right side. Brand new blue EL boxcar from Magor Car Company at rear.Howard Kent Jr.photo.
now repurposed as offices and a daycare center, it was once the hub of Milwaukee Road's operations in this division point city.
This is part of the vintage treasure repurposed into a planter series I featured on my blog www.poetichome.com
A grain silo that was recently repurposed as an office complex in Schoen place along the Erie canal in Pittsford NY.
Shot taken from parking lot shared with another repurposed structure, the Village Coal Tower restaurant (since 1976).
You can see the silo in R.I.T.'s Big Shot #24. At the time the renovation was in progress and only some of window cutouts can be seen in the concrete tower.
For 52 Weeks for Dogs -- 33/52
For the Daily Dog Challenge -- 8/18 "Mother Nature"
This weekend was supposed to be an adventure that involved Rose and me going to Floatzilla with my husband. We found a dog sitter for Fable and Rose was one happy girl. There was a chance of rain and storms, but we went anyway. As we pulled up and went to the check in booth, they announced that a serious storm cell was five minutes out and for everyone to get out of the water. At least we didn't have any gear unloaded. If there's one thing Rose doesn't like, it's a thunderstorm, but she handled it really well. We never got the kayaks out, but she got a day with just us and that made her a happy girl. Of course today, the weather was perfect.
You can read more about Rose at TalesAndTails.com.
I have to stop and check out every converted bus I see now. This Thomas rear engine was in the parking lot.
No mosquitos breeding in this birdbath. A birdbath repurposed as a small succulent garden. This image was taken using the Lensbaby Twist optic.
I styled repurposed vintage elements into spooky Halloween decor ideas....as blogged about on www.PoeticHome.com
I spent just about the whole weekend in the yard - cleaning and gardening. Trimmed my lilac bush for 2 hours yesterday (it now looks like this again). Clutching trimmers that long means every muscle in my hands hurt bad.
This cooler was Jeff's and he was going to toss it when he moved here (bottom is rusty and leaks) but I told him I wanted it. Good thing too - it's a cute planter for some begonias.
Fun fact, Boju repurposes a cloth piece I created for Toa Kazi. And... I couldn't resist giving her a good old classic back gear.
A peek into my home and my favorite vintage treasures...this vintage card catalog was repurposed into a happy bookshelf (and plant holder).
(I'm catching up with uploading as I had to spend the last two months trying to remember my Flickr login info!)
Model: Hair Happenins Francie
Fashion: This is part of a hard to find Barbie Francie Color Magic fashion set. The original blouse swallows Francie's smaller figure. I have substituted a Skipper tricot top here. She has a hat, similar to the Wild Thing hat but with Smart Switch fabric. This may be a custom made piece, as Smart Switch did not have a hat. perhaps someone repaired or repurposed a Wild Thing hat with Smart Switch fabric.
Pieced entirely of 2nd hand dress shirts and a piece of leftover quilt batting from another project.
Donated to the silent auction at the annual fundraiser for our local creative arts center.
Purchased by a local woman for her grandbaby boy.
The long, narrow spaces were the most challenging! I split some photos into two, three or four parts for a little twist.
LTEX works on locomotives at this facility in McDonald, Ohio, that was once used by a steel mill railroad.
