King cake, Gâteau Roi

A cake eaten during Christmas time, until 6th January, with all the fruit you can think of. Inside you have raisins, pine nuts, walnuts, almonds and diced fruit. Outside, in a wheel format, there's cherries, orange peel, christallised/candied fruit, and chunks of sugar.

Catoctin Furnace is a favorite place for my family to take a break on drives northward. It is only about a 10 minute detour and a fascinating place to take a short walk. More about it at: www.nps.gov/cato/learn/historyculture/furnace.htm

A quote in dutch this time. Where it comes from and what it means? Find it here on my blog: chaoticperfectionist.wordpress.com/2013/02/19/pastel-ish/

The Picture was edited for Texture Tuesday - Downton Abbey edition (feb.19) with 3 layers of KK's texture Isobel. For details (see link).

for 7DoS: I couldn't get my old nail file to look remotely interesting, so I resorted to the little nailbrush instead

A vintage pulley for Texture Tuesday which I applied a Kim Klassen preset and texture to.

I found this whiskey bottle when renovating my 100 year old house, including the old nail. I like its grunginess. I used textures: Silence and Sweetart by Kim Klassen

Today's Texture Tuesday theme for Kim Klassen's Texture Tuesday is Let's Celebrate! Kim Klassen's awesome texture, "The Ladder" was applied.

Counting 19 more days til Christmas... but today is already almost over!

7 Days of Shooting – Texture Tuesday - Texture in photography emphasizes features and details, so the detail in the surface of the object(s) you are photographing should be the most important feature of the image.

Week #10 (w/b 13 September) Out My Window - Looking out from any window in your home, just popped into your local coffee shop what’s happening through the window or maybe you are a passenger in a car or travelling by air or rail so let’s share what we see out there!

Hopefully this will inspire some serenity.

Days of Shooting – Week 11 (w/b 17th September) Shoes: We all wear them and whether they are your running shoes, walking shoes or boots, cycling shoes or your ballet shoes then let’s see what we wear on our feet. It’s time to get your Jimmy Choos or your Christian Louboutin out of the wardrobe and if preferred someone else’s shoes!

I hate to admit that I remember this "money changer".

While in Floyd Virginia this past week I spotted this fine cash register at the back of the General Store. A General Store is also something you don't see often anymore where I am.

It brought back some pleasant memories of a less complicated system than we have today. It also reminder me that we didn't have to worry about the electricity going out. We could still use this "invention" and we knew how to count back change. The kids working in stores today don't have a clue when the lights go out.
