[detail of card on eBay -- mine]Yesterday I walked to Yonge & Bloor and dropped in to see a friend. Isn't it a wonderful day, I said, warm with a cool breeze that's welcome when you get hot (I'm a fast walker by nature). "Yeah..." he said, "but if it was just a little bit warmer, it would be perfect."
Nothing is perfect, really. Nothing will ever be perfect. We can strive for it, but--think about it-- if we ever reached perfection, then what??? It would be all over.
So let's just appreciate what we get and say thank you to the weatherpeople in the sky.
I saw these files at Staples when I went to replenish my office supplies. I immediately thought of Jenny Doh. The salesperson remarked on them. I told her what I was planning to do with them, and, bless her heart, she was so interested that she asked me questions and I gave her a mini-collage session. I think I may have a convert on my hands. I could see her taking some home and gluing stuff to the cover and doodling inside them. And having hours of fun!
...yes Colette, I think you can hold yourself responsible for lots of converts!.......it is absolutely freezing here in Wales!Those little weather people are playing tricks on us again! I am cold through to the bones and I am actually wearing a vest!!!...I only hope the sunny weather is heading our way!
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to pay a visit to Staples and photograph the equivalent they have on offer for us.What the buyers think the British public would find appealing!....watch this space, I might just do that!
I just paid a visit to eBay...you have been working very hard.....we are spoiled for choice.This little bird in particular is very appealing!....almost PERFECT!!!
I am just about to shake the fizz out of some ginger beer!

Hi Colette, bought some really pretty file folders about 2 1/2 months ago .They are still just sitting empty. Your post reminded me of what I was going to use them for. I just finished altering cloths pins for paper clips. Now I need to make the files match . The clothes pins turned out like I wanted. I put them on my blog an older post. love visiting your blog, your work is simply delightful!! Julie
ReplyDeleteYes, nothing is ever perfect - but sometimes wonderful is good enough! Lovely art piece. xoxox
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely nothing to say today.....because Postie has been and I am absolutely SPEECHLESS!!!...I can just about manage the word THANKYOU!
ReplyDeleteAnon the Elder .....OOOOO
I must say,,,the weather here is pretty darn near perfect..ha! I just found some file folders on sales at one of the office suppiy stores! They are recycled. 6 of them in a pack for only 1.29! YAY! I'll go see what Jenny Doh did !
ReplyDeleteOHhh! I saw what Jenny did with hers! Cool! Since my move here , i am involved with nieces and nephews and their friends...who all love art, so guess what our next little project will be!!! THanks Colette.!
