This was part of a lot of paper items that I picked up at the Scott's Antique show in Columbus, Ohio on 11.29.08
Ephemera by William Butler Yeats
'Your eyes that once were never weary of mine
Are bowed in sorrow under pendulous lids,
Because our love is waning.'
And then She:
'Although our love is waning, let us stand
By the lone border of the lake once more,
Together in that hour of gentleness
When the poor tired child, passion, falls asleep.
How far away the stars seem, and how far
Is our first kiss, and ah, how old my heart!'
Pensive they paced along the faded leaves,
While slowly he whose hand held hers replied:
'Passion has often worn our wandering hearts.'
The woods were round them, and the yellow leaves
Fell like faint meteors in the gloom, and once
A rabbit old and lame limped down the path;
Autumn was over him: and now they stood
On the lone border of the lake once more:
Turning, he saw that she had thrust dead leaves
Gathered in silence, dewy as her eyes,
In bosom and hair.
'Ah, do not mourn,' he said,
'That we are tired, for other loves await us;
Hate on and love through unrepining hours.
Before us lies eternity; our souls
Are love, and a continual farewell.'
New Orleans. Someone made unauthorized use of a photo of me for logo for a band. Well, when I pointed it out I got a vest (not in my size). I don't think the band played more than once if that many times.
This is my first ever bind it all project!! I created this for a lady on swapbot for my Granting Wishes group. She said she is working on organizing her craft space and she needed organizational items or suggestions. I thought it would be neat to make this little "book" of envelopes for her ephemera and small paper bits. The cover image is from cutting out the front of a card someone sent me. It's perfect because the lady this is going to likes images of animals with umbrellas and I thought this was just too awesome!

I found this at a gas station / truck top in western N.C. on the way to Asheville.
These super fun ephemera surprise balls are a take-off of the classics usually made with crepe paper.
These surprise balls are made with strips of vintage fabric from curtains for the inner wrapping and seasonal fabric for the final outer wrapping. They are filled with a variety of small toys, feathers, stickers, doll house miniatures, and lots of beads. Each ball has the same variety of items but different specific toys and miniatures so that each ephemera surprise ball is one-of-a-kind.
Great party favors, Thanksgiving table decoration/keep the kids busy, stocking stuffer, or special little gift. They will have you dancing when you unwind the yards of fabric to reveal the contents!
Polaroid announced yesterday they will stop making instant film in 2008. This just confirms my suspicion that I am in fact, a trend-killer. Sorry everybody. ;)
