Day 279
10/6/2010
A passenger had this wonderful "boa" made of ribbons braided together. Loops are left hanging out of the braid. I thought that the one ribbon made it look like feathers.

This spectacular flowering kale is in a street medium on Monaco

Day 276 - Quack

10/3/2010

This t-shirt reminded me of Becca!

When she was staying with Rach's grandmother-in-law in Jerusalem a few years ago

the old (104!) woman would ask her (in Arabic),

"who are you and why are you in my house?"

Becca would reply, "remember? I'm Becca".

The the grandmother would say, "Baka, what kind of name is that?"

Baka is apparently "Duck" in Arabic.

So for Halloween later that year, Becca dressed up like a duck.

The best part of the costume was her orange Crocs.

Day 275 - Cookies

10/2/2010

These wonderful cookies were made by Mae for our Rocky Mountain Cut-Ups meeting.

She used a vintage Reddy Kilowat cutter. So cute!

Day 274 - Western Coat and Hat

10/1/2010
This gentleman was proud of the jacket and hat that he had inherited from his brother. Note the wonderful beading down the front and the cape of fur over the shoulders.

Before you say anything, I am not generally in favor of hunting for fur but I will not criticize someone who has such a wonderful example of Western folk art as this jacket.

Day 273 - Missing Shirley

9/30/2010

Missing my friend Shirley who lost her fight this afternoon in California. Now she will be able to decorate her cookies without any pain, The angels will be the lucky recipients.

This photo was taken in June at the National Cookie Cutter Collector's Club Convention in California. This is my friend, Shirley with one of her cookie jars that she won in the convention raffle. We shared a lot of laughs.
