Vignettes
I love to find fancy little shops
that sell lovingly-chosen antiques
or decorative items
and arrange them artfully.

I especially love it when the items
are unique, unexpected

or when there's an arrangement of items
in my favorite colors or shapes.

And it never hurts to find a display with cake stands,
particularly one with pierced edges,
because I love the way they look,
even if I rarely bake a layer cake these days.

Stumbling onto a place like that
turns a lackluster day into a creative festival,
makes me positively giddy
and just a little drunk on possibility.
What treasures have you found
in your wanderings?
****************
p.s. Take a moment today to remember the service to our country
that military veterans have rendered and their personal sacrifices,
both large and small.
And Happy 120th Birthday to Washington
which became a state on November 11, 1889.

(how did they choose "gown" as the adjective here?)
i am looking for beauty in a sterile beeping world of machines and medical marvels...i have found it. in the hands of those working their magic to save lives, offer comfort, care and a chance to return to the living.
(I covet cake stands as well. Unfortunately, they take up so much room!)
geez I wish I had known it was washington state's birthday yesterday - could have tied it in quite nicely with my monday post of significant birthdays!!
love those blue bottles
