I'm just now returning to my favorite haunts, seen what time and technology have done for them. I love the bare feel of your blog. The quotations are so vital to the images. I'm glad you are still blogging. -- Caroline of "Caroline's Crayons."

I have so missed your posts especially since "blogs are still best for in depth exploration and conversation". I do look at your Instagram but seeing the images here with the story behind your pieces is a treat. The poem adds to the ambiance of your vintage treasures. I love the story of your grandparents packing up and escaping to Alaska....never to return. How brave and exciting! It reminds me of my ancestors who packed up and arrived by ship in South Africa, only to have the ship sink a few miles from harbour taking with it all their worldly possessions. They were brave souls...our ancestors.artpropelledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18378901050388398241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-72597580993836203732016-07-23T23:05:20.403-07:002016-07-23T23:05:20.403-07:00la boite à souvenirs, un moyen de créer pour les s...la boite à souvenirs, un moyen de créer pour les suivants...<br />je suis très attaché au blog ..un moyen de observer,admirer et entrer en contact avec les amis et les artistes...je regarde souvent, mais ne laisse pas toujours un commentaire...bises<br />ELFIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08709697150109137719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-24107269204405179312016-07-23T17:45:48.612-07:002016-07-23T17:45:48.612-07:00Such evolution in online presence.
