    Once again coming through with the good stuff Gigi 🙂

    Thank you especially for the I’m Smitten link: such weird surreal whimsy, I love it

    hi carson,

    thanks for the comment! i’m glad you like i’m smitten — the prints she had up in the booth at the fair were large squares that took up one wall, and i just stood there with my mouth hanging open, staring (and the booth was so crowded i couldn’t really snap it with my camera!).

    very cool stuff indeed.

    Great post! So many beautiful things…nice bracelet up top…and nice owl, I just found out that those birds are mean, huge and sound like howler monkeys, they don’t hoot! Crazy huh

    hi michelle,

    thanks for the visit! all the jewelry from that artist was smooth as silk, and his belt buckles were STUNNING.

    hmmm, i didn’t know that owls are loud, but i thought they could be mean since they are birds of prey. interesting… and are you anti-owl now because of this info?

    hello munky,

    thanks for the comment! when i was in the booth she was telling me to look at all of them because of the different saturation levels in the colors… they are beautiful prints with a playful sense of humor!
