Love that Singer "red eye', and the hat too.

Thanks, Suzanne! I loved the shop and want to go back and nose around. The sewing machine was awesome--they don't make 'em like that anymore. Whatever happened to making something intrinsically beautiful and functional at the same time?

I love those owls! Wonderful captures.

Intrinsically beautiful and yet function - you must love the Arts and Crafts movement! Those people knew how to do it.

I'm not sure about the Arts and Crafts movement but these owls were cast in heavy metal and absolutely stunning to look at. I almost bought them and might still do so though I have no idea what I'd do with them. Stare at them all day. Place them around the house so their stare back when I least expect it. Who knows? I've never seen anything like them.
