I spy two bows, a family, a vase,

A kitty, a six, and a little girl's face,

A chocolate candy cane, a pumpkin, a key,

4 bottles of nail polish and a sparkly letter C.

 

It's an I Spy thing....just go with it....

Part of the set for the disappointing 'burlesque' show at Chapter a few weeks ago.

But I am still going to write about it!

 

I had purchased an item off Ebay last year and the sellers were only a little further up the mountain so I went to collect it.

 

I rolled up and the first thing I see (as it was outside) is this 1930 Dressing Table. I remarked "how fabulous" and the young couple said, "would you like it"?

 

Just like that! They were actually getting ready to take it down their drive for the hard rubbish collection as they were throwing it away!!!

 

I was happy as Larry!!

 

I stripped off all the veneer and give it a really good sanding back. Managed to scraped off all the stickers that were covering the mirrors (original bevelled glass), and put it into my sewing room so it could get thoroughly dried out.

 

Its only been sitting in there for a year!!!

shanghai lily already knows the answer to this one, since she also saw it recently. :)

Evocative details from my mum's at Shepperton. Portrait of my brother on my mum's dressing table. The opalescent surface of the hair brush a childhood memory of something I saw as a thing of wonder.

Once again, it's Monday, so it must be Bath! There's still a lot to do at Olive's, and we need to have emptied the house by the end of the month, ideally, as it's owned by a housing association. I made good progress, and a charity called The Genesis Trust came to take some furniture today. They check it over and sell it cheaply to people in need. I asked Olive's next-door-neighbour (who's been very good to her over the past 20 years), if she'd like anything for herself or her family, so she relieved us of some furniture too. I also brought home some things, so the stock is gradually reducing!

My aunty lives in the most amazing flat. She is a hoarder. She collects beautiful things. her major loves are her dachshund (and all things dachshund related), her dollies and her teddies. She has so many lovely old things. It's like she lives in the best sort of museum ever. I just love going there. And I love her immensely.

I've been hanging my necklaces on a wooden mug tree for years - I think they look good like that and it's quite convenient. But I never had a great way of displaying my collection of bangles until it hit me this morning - what about one of those wooden kitchen roll holders? The one I eventually found had an extra little rod on one side - I'm not sure why - so I have hung some glass and plastic rings on it.

This is the last in a Series of 6 images I produced for my last photography project. Which was the brief of everyday moments and the manipulated image.

 

Basically what I wanted to get across was that adverts are everywhere and are even infiltrating our homes through tv, radio, etc. That is why what seems to be/or should be family photographs on the wall are adverts. This one, again, I wanted to make a bit different with an advert in each frame. I decided that with this last image I wanted to address another point I came across with the adverts, that they all contain beautiful looking women, and were taken from glossy womens magazines. That is why for this final image I have he brushing her hair to maybe try to look like these women, but also to convey the idea that for a housewife the task of getting ready in the morning is very much like a mundane task.

 

I then made it as kinda more of a dig to the advertising industry I presented them in kind of a mock advert to show that they will try to make everything look glamorous, even mundane housework.
