Things I Like #3

Once again, in a post inspired by, or stolen from, Mistress Maddie, here are some things i like that are around the house.

One day, while perusing the Cola City Farmers Market, we stumbled upon a local artist who attends USC and sells originals and prints of her watercolors. I instantly fell in love with the faces, and the vibrant colors of these three pieces and so I had to have them. Since she’s a fulltime student she only sells her work at the Farmers Markets on school breaks and summer, so, if this mess is done by mid-June, we’ll go back for more.

Now, y’all know I am not a follower of organized religion, but I do love a good church, and I love a good religious icon. Years back, a friend, who is Jewish, asked if I wanted this menorah that she didn’t want or need any longer. I took it, not for the religious-ness of it, but because it’s a cast metal sculpture, of a grape arbor and, well, I’ll give you a close-up because I cannot for the life of me, and forgot to ask its original owner, figure out what that mass in the middle is.

Still, it’s one of my favorite things.

More to come …
