The writing is atrocious. So boring.

House of Guiness, UGH, I can't even get through the first episode. A big snore fest. Hard pass.

George and the garden Buddha commune often. 🧡🐈

Sorry, I didn't mean it. xoxo

Sorry, Sidney, it's Pollack. I also worked for Universal CEO Tom Pollock, so I get the spellings mixed up sometimes. Sidney was another great talent and very nice man. Tom, not so much.

Not only met, had dinner with him and a long delightful conversation. 😀

I worked for Sidney Pollock during the post production of Out of Africa. He invited me to join a dinner with he & Bob Redford. It was an interesting conversation about projects, writing, development & scripts. A talented man, but mostly, you were nice & that's what I'll remember most.

A gorgeous find at Goodwill today, (unsigned, and trust me I looked!) I'll be keeping this one. 😀

Thanks so much! 😀

I really love it, too. 😀

I redid the art in a corner of my family room. I framed all the bird prints myself, from an Italian calendar. I sprayed the mattes black so they'd be cohesive. I had 3 of the 4 frames, got the top right one yesterday from FB for $10. Love it. #thrift #art #marketplace #birds #decorate #diy #prints

I recently saw this on glorafilia.com & marveled at using embroidery & needlepoint together. I really love the idea of it & intend to give it a try. For those who don't know, Glorafilia is one of a handful of truly great needlepoint designers/authors/kit makers. #needlepoint #embroidery #glorafilia

Thanks! They are lovely. 😀

I found these two pewter birds on FB Marketplace yesterday. They seem quite happy in my dining room. In Portland we have a saying, "put a bird on it," so I did! 😀

Thanks so much, Nick! 😀

Happy birthday to my birthday twin, Queen Elizabeth 1.

Currently reading The Secret Life of Sunflowers, the story of Vincent van Gogh's widowed sister in law, who is entirely responsible for the legacy and world wide fame of the artist. I hear it's great from a good friend and former knitting student.

Both the lamp and the shade! 😀

I running to go find her! Thanks. 😀

Found a better (to-scale) lampshade today on FB Marketplace (23" in diameter & 14" tall) for the $14.99 Goodwill lamp I bought yesterday. The shade will be recovered in black silk faille taffeta (thrifted years ago) that I have in my stash. Then it will be perfect. 😀

Me, too! 😀

I'll have to go find her! Thanks for the info. She sounds interesting. 😀

I found a couple of amazing lamps today at Goodwill (35" & 37" tall). They were $9.99 and $14.99, had the shades. I thought I was going to sell the one on the right, but it looks so good in my living room that I'm going to keep them both for now.

Any time I make a new little kitty spot on the deck, George finds it right away. He has about 7 of them that it rotates between. So adorable. Doesn't he look cozy? 🧡🐱

It was absolutely calling me from across Goodwill. I was in a full run to go get it. (I just happened to be there as they opened.)

Ohhhhhhhhh, that sounds wonderful! 😀

Well, come on, then! 😀

We have that in common. They are hard to find in my neck of the woods. And to buy new ones are very expensive.

It was a fun day! 😀
