Moving tends to throw a wrench in it....
FOR EVERYONE!! This little guy has gotten quite used to hanging out with me. Yes, he always does have a little smirk on his face.
because this one's
SOOOOO as I was saying moving is hard on everyone. Including the blog action. This blog is the PRISS[Y] Place remember? For those of you that don't know....that's an acronym for [P]aper, [R]ibbon, [I]nk, [S]tampin', [S]crappin' and [Y]atayatayata. I do realize there's been a lot more of ONLY the [Y] in that equation. Yatayatayata. True true. Which is OK because this is my blog RIGHT and I only have 2 READERS TOPS. ROFL. I won't be invited to the Blogher awards anytime soon or Martha's for that MATTER.
This is who came for a visit on the second day of being at my new place. I was all excited and going to go look up what it meant in Native American terms as regarding to "totems" I was sure it was another good omen until.....
Little did I know he was on his way out of this world and his visit would be but a brief one. He was so cute and I was wondering why he was so still and didn't startle when I took his picture. I got pretty close. Shortly after this picture was taken I went back out in the backyard (a couple of hours later). And Mr. Bunny was gone (as in R.I.P.) not as in ran away. I had to pick him up and bury him.
LOOK AWAY NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE A PICTURE OF A CUTE BUNNY WHO IS NO LONGER WITH US AND IS THE LAST DAY OF MR. BUNNY'S LIFE.
TOTEM SCHMOTEM. He's on my $#!( list. I guess a hawk's gotta do what a hawk's gotta do. Which is be a predator. Nice.
One of these day I shall resume my normal programming which requires a lot of GLITTER. K.THX

Yeah her - the cat's mom been doing alot of this TRAVELING  I KNOW GET OUT RIGHT! THAT'S HOT! So he's got pretty comfy at my place. Which is COOL because I LERVE HIM anyway. HE'S MINE NOW HE'S ALL MINE. Little does she know.  But when she's back for a visit, he tends to park himself on top of her SUITCASE. He's KNOWS he's a smart cat.
But can you blame her? She's got places to go like HERE: |

SOOOOO Let's revisit <--- click my good luck totem MR. HAWK that came for a visit on my first morning at the new place. Oh yes I was so overjoyed and thought what a wonderful world. Yes? Yeah SURE the Native Americans think he's a symbol of "the dawn and a fresh new day". That's awesome. But personally I think he was MARKING HIS TERRITORY.

IRONIC that I titled this post <--- click "The Other Side". Singing the praises of Mr. Hawk. What am I prophetic?
Good Omen? I think not!!! MEET THE NEIGHBORHOOD BULLY

M.P.D?
Multiple personality disorder a.k.a Cybil. That's me? On the one hand I love vintage things, I love the 50s theme. I have a lot of treasures collected over many years and I've weeded them out considerably. But there is still a fair bit of Chotzkie hell goin' on.
and drum roll....this is me? Minimalist, zen, spa. Actually, I am moving more towards the "less is more" style.
THEN ya have this me... chotzkie hell. My library wall which I still LOVE was behind my sofa in the other place. Now it's in a more prominent location not behind a sectional but in full view within the room. The chotzkie's from chotzkie hell used to be displayed on a shelf that ran around the perimeter of two walls of the room. Now, they are displayed on top of the library bookcases. I think its a bit busy, but for now they will stay since we don't have the shelf installed and probably wont put it up in the new place. I only pulled out a few. I have other collections apples, cows, tins etc... the chickens made the cut this time. I'm really really trying to thin things out for GOOD.
AND then back to desert sticks sans art I picked up from the desert. I like the texture it brings to a room. I copied this from hotel decor I saw once. Really like the natural colors of an area.
AND THEN THERE'S CYBIL. Oh incidentally, the burgundy wall color is the existing paint. It was the only room I am thinking of changing the paint color of, all of the other room paint colors in the new house were the same color paints that I had in the old house. Lucked out there, what are the odds of that? I can live with this color for now. I probably SHOULD have painted it before I unpacked but srsly did not have it in me. It will have to be done later. I will probably go with the seafoam green (very light) I had in my other kitchen/living area. Still love that color. I'll post a link later. I will add however, the burgundy goes really well with the existing chotkies I have.
EDITED TO ADD: THERE IS A BACK-STORY TO THE ABOVE FRAMED PRINTS. I HAVE ABOUT A DOZEN OR SO DIFFERENT PICTURES TO THIS COLLECTION AND MAYBE I WILL POST THE ENTIRE SET SO YOU CAN SEE. THESE WERE WATERCOLOR PAINTED ON CARDBOARD INSERTS (REMEMBER THE CARDBOARD FROM SHIRT PACKAGING) AND THEY ARE ACTUALLY FLASH CARDS. FOR EXAMPLE: THE TREE HAS THE WORD "TREE" STENCILED ON THE BACK OF THE CARD. I THOUGHT THEY WERE SUCH CUTE FOLK-ARTESCK IMAGES I HAD THE ENTIRE SET MATTED AND FRAMED. MY GREAT-AUNT (NOW DECEASED) WAS A SCHOOL TEACHER. SHE PAINTED THEM ALL BY HAND. I BELIEVE SHE GOT HER INSPIRATION FROM OLD THE DICK AND JANE READING BOOK SERIES. I HAVE IMAGES OF A MOTHER, FATHER, BOY (I'M ASSUMING IS DICK), A GIRL PRINT (JANE?), DOG, CAT, PIG, CHICKENS, BALL, HOUSE, ETC... THEY ARE VERY OLD AND QUITE THE HEIRLOOM. SHE HAD GIVEN ME A "BOX" OF HER OLD PAPERS AND SUCH FROM HER TEACHING DAYS WHEN MY GIRLS WERE LITTLE AND THESE WERE IN A FILE OF THAT BOX. THAT'S WHEN I HAD THEM FRAMED. A SEPARATE POST ON THIS LATER.
I guess you can say I have a very eclectic style. Its a mix of folk, vintage, americana, 50s and minimal, shabby chic, chic shabby and a dash of bohemian too. I don't know I'm a bit scattered. I crave minimal and am slowly transitioning towards that style. Out with the old and in with the new "less is more" theme. I am planning on selling whatever doesn't work for me any more to an Etsy store just as soon as I get through things and continue purging. I will post more after photos as soon as time permits. Hope you enjoy a peek into my new place.
Ciao for now...
