A bunch of kids and other characters hiding out in a clubhouse. I remember a character named "Shrinking Violet" who disappeared whenever she was embarrassed. At least that's what I remember. Thanks to the internet and it's promotion of instant gratification, I didn't have to call anyone or go to the library. Or think. I just googled it and found clips, the theme song, and everything else that I had forgotten about. I even remembered most of the words. This led me to another long, lost, but not forgotten show, "Tennessee Tuxedo". Best part of the show? When they went to see Mr. Whipple, who could answer any question with his chalkboard diagrams that came to life. Mind you, I was watching all of this in Black and White. I remember getting total enjoyment out of a 12" bubble front t.v. in gray scale. Things have really changed.
Once again, I fell asleep last night without finishing my post. What you see above is actually what I wrote last night...now, for the life of me, I can't remember why it was so important! But anyway, I just had my son watch an episode with me (5 min.) and he said "why is this so boring?" in response to an educational segment (which I'd forgotten about) inserted in the middle of the cartoon. I remember now...a micro-mini, filmed documentary was part of the show. My response? "That's why I'm so smart!"
I was very excited to receive a request from a potential customer, asking for a specific accessory for her home. It didn't take me long to find it, even though I had to trek to the other side of town to get it. If she decides not to buy it, I'll have it for another time. It's good to have people take my "finding" skills seriously! It's a cool piece, and I will have to post pics once I redo it. It's gonna be great...but no more hints...it's a surprise!
I received more paint in the mail today, and that can only mean one thing. Shoes! I'm itching to paint another pair. The colors are crazy bright so shades will be required for viewing.
Still excited about this find...a vintage batik print on velvet velour heck, I don't know what surface this is. It's very soft--and is super clean. I can't wait to find a spot to hang it. I have found nothing about this artist, Marilyn Kayton, so if you have any information to share, I would be most appreciative! It is definitely time to redecorate something because I'm back to lying awake at night, rearranging furniture and mixing paint in my head. The colors above will play a big part, perhaps providing the inspiration for someone's bedroom redo. Will it be you?
I'm still trying to figure out how to put this all together. My love for writing, finding, decorating, cooking, gardening and making people laugh. Maybe I should be the set designer on a sitcom about a chef in the 60's--who grows all the food he cooks. That should pretty much cover it. Well, up early tomorrow for a house clean-out, so I guess I should close before I fall asleep, in which case I'll close anyway. But I would have no control over what I might write. And that could be bad.
