Falcon de-luxe 'Gallery' No. 3564
Full title "The Rehearsal of the Ballet on Stage"
1000 pieces, secondhand but still sealed, complete
28 1/4x20in
72x51cm
A great find: A Falcon still shrinkwrapped and only £1.99 from a charity shop! This is the second Degas we've found on our travels, and both have been unopened. I wonder why? Could it be that people are put off by the indistinct, blurry nature of Impressionist paintings as jigsaw puzzles? Admittedly, a large part of this puzzle was a case of trying lots of pieces to find the right fit, something that doesn't occur with clearer images.

Pictures of the kimono and related items I bought from a tiny second-hand shop I found in Arashiyama, Kyoto.
I bought:
Black Haori (3000)
Pale Green Haori (1000)
White/Black Kimono (5000)
Green/Blue Kimono (2000)
Blue Rainbow Obi Set (2500)
White Tabi Socks (1000)
Red Cord Zori Shoes (1500)
There are expected minor imperfections, mostly on the insides along common sweat stain areas or a few possible sunburn spots. I believe they're all mainly silk though, and they're very well-made.
The obi is a premade-type, so I don't have to learn how to tie it! Thank god, otherwise I'd never wear these.
Once again plying the home rails of its former owner, this Cascade green SD40-2 is in its second career as a leaser as it sits on the point of a manifest among a string of westbounds parked for the afternoon with no crews on the St. Crox sub. FURX 7216 was built as Burlington Northern 7216 in June 1980.

This one was part of a vintage tank dress that I bought and wore but it was such a straight shape that the bottom ended up ripping so I cut the bottom part off and now it's just a top and this fabric is the cut-off part. Oops. I think I see a stain right in the middle of it.
This store buys clothes that get left behind in driers in Japanese laundro-mats, and sells them in Singapore.
The decision day of the election.. Rudd vs Howard. I walked down to the school where we had to vote, but i forgot to enroll so no votes from me. Labor won.
Wearing all Secondhand, I made the skirt into a dress and added buttons, red button necklace made by my sister.
Will be up loading soon to my new blog thats currently a work in progress hehe. So feel free to have a looksie..
"You are calm and reposed,
let your beauty unfold.
Pale white like the skin stretched over your bones.
Spring keeps you ever close,
you are second hand smoke.
You are so fragile and thin,
standing trial for your sins.
Holding on to yourself the best you can."

A southern belle at Cypress Gardens (Winter Haven, FL), one of those homages to southern culture. The sign to the right encourages you to take their pictures and I wonder what that means. Stamped December, 1978

This piece was rolled up and tied when I bought it so I didn't find the fabric on the inside (in next picture in my photostream) until I got it home and opened it up to wash it and found that it was a tied baby quilt sort of thing. Very heavy and stiff for a baby quilt so it doesn't look like it was ever used. This fabric is a medium weight, almost canvas-like cotton.

Lovely pink bow flats found at local second hand store. Couldn't resist although they're not of my size...
I couldn't think of anything else for the title, so I did that. It's "Suppose" by Secondhand Serenade.
Ugh. I don't know what I've been feeling lately. I chose this photo over the extremely dark ones that I might upload. I've been feeling a bit "dark" anyway. Not in that, emo, gothic kinda way like so many people would stereotype.. But like.... lonely, lost, I don't know. Just think of synonyms for those words. You'll get the idea.
Anyway!
My day wasn't all that great. I've been stressed and such, but that's not a story I'm getting into :)
I hung out with my mom today, which was nice. We just kinda cruised the mall, talking about everything. Like the fact that I'm going to teach a couple karate gym classes at my school. Fun times. And things like Aunt Sheila's wake. We had some laughs, which was good. I was looking forward to this all day.
Okay, so as for the "feeling lonely" part.... I know I have people that will always be here for me.
As friends.
That's not what I mean by "lonely". What I mean, is that I'm going to be alone for Christmas. Alone, as in, having no significant other to hold onto, to kiss in the winter air, or kiss when the ball drops on 2009. I'm just.... alone. In that sense, at least.
I like to be hugged and I like to know that yeah, someone is willing to be around me.
(I'm not getting into it all. This would be long and.... boring.... whiny? I don't know.)
But ever since *ahem*Bob*ahem* ended our relationship about three months ago, he's forgotten. He's forgotten about all the times. Well, maybe they weren't the greatest, but they were something. They made me happy. And now, it's like it never happened. And if he does acknowledge it, he pokes fun at it. It hurts to know that someone you care about deeply doesn't want to remember what you had. It's like I was never there.
And so, I have to ask myself: Will I end up alone forever?
Will I ever be able to find, "that someone"?
Just.... Am I worth staying with?
But, that's enough of my.... depressing, emo rant. I don't know why I'm in such weird moods lately. I'm usually very happy and quirky.
This is part of a cotton curtain panel with the next picture in my photostream of the green polka dotted part. I cut this into different sections when I bought it but now sort of regret that. Oh well.
This part seems very "Denyse Schmidt Katie Jumps Rope" to me. She has a similar print in that fabric collection, only different colors.
