Photo's taken Friday the 13th 2006 for Miss Madame

Folk Doll/Mouse circa early 1990"'s, by a Colorado Artist, whose name escapes me.
I sold her fabulous work in my children's clothing store, Red Road Kids Club.










Alessi Pinochio Funnel on the wall.
ExecuDuck in gold frame.
Hand colored drawing by Leon Rosenblatt.
Circa 1970's











This was a something I purchased when I worked for an interior design firm in 1969/1970.
It's signed, but I can't make out the name and I'm ashamed to admit I don't know if it's a
print or a lithograph. I do know it's hand colored.










My homage to America, my maternal Grandparents and World War I.
This is a framed silk scarf, Greetings from Ft. Lee, VA.
Beautiful embroidered post card and handkerchief from France.
My grandfather, Meyer Martin, from Hazelton, Pa.,
served in the Army during World War I.
These were keepsakes, handed down. I had them framed.














And finally this photo of my beloved, Miss Madame's Baby Collage,
by our own Miss Sandra Gordon aka Sandy Gordon aka Crabapple
aka Miss Madame. It is sitting on a box by me and featured in a
turquoise, celadon kind of grouping of things I have displayed in
my work/living area.



Of note...I am still working at perfecting copy with photo's. The learning curve continues...
I'm not thrilled with how the above is "laid out", but for now, it's the best I could do.

Friday the 13th

So here I am thinking that my beloved friend, Miss Crabapple herself has abandoned me. I have been emailing her like crazy
and have received no reply. And then just now upon this very day, Friday the 13th, what should appear in my in messages
but an email from my beloved, via eBay, thank you very much. Oh Sandrala, I have missed you so, you have no idea. I only now
came to my blog to see your comments because you are first informing me that your computer is down and that you've been
leaving me messages here. OH MY G'D and Hallelujah, you have not deserted me at all. I was going all paranoid, thinking what had I done to offend you. I just couldn't figure out why I had stopped hearing from you especially since I had finally
found and emailed you "Think Pink", the poem by my ex, Michael, from the 1980's. Tra La Boom Dee AAAA, I'm so relieved and
thrilled to find you again.
This blogs for you!
I have not had a cigarette since Tuesday, September 26th! Miracle, no kidding! My surgery is scheduled for Wednesday, October 25th. YES! And I have adhered to a ridgid post op diet since this past Tuesday. Another miracle!!!!
I continue with weekly accupunture treatments and am so grateful to have this and the nurturing practioner in my life.
I know this is helping me alot.
The past week has been rather intense for me. I've been alot on the weepy side, crying at the littlest thing. I mean seeing something that touches me and there they are, tears in my eyes. Where is this coming from? Emotions running high, no doubt with all this
life changing work going on right now. Amazing and somewhat scarey.
I have great confidence in myself and my loving friends, who are being so supportive and helping me thru this journey.
Nora said last night, new prespectives, new realities. She is so right.
So there it is, in a nut shell, more or less.
I'm dying to upload some photo's just for you Miss Crabapple, too!
