Little Free Museum

My friend Susan and I walked by this sign a few weeks ago. I had noticed it when I was in my car but never detoured to check it out.
We walked over a block and came upon this very nicely constructed display:
Inside the locked front compartment there were a number of brooches:

I thought it was the coolest thing ever!

Sweet!

That is cool! I love brooches and I wear them... because men aught to be able to wear beautiful things. Lord knows, they used to. I just picked up a few new ones (to me) at a small local antique shop just 10 minutes away on Sunday. This is the one currently on my 'going out' jacket:
The ones I bought Sunday ($5 each):
And part of my little collection:

Very cool!

JaMPDX are two very local ladies who do beautiful work. Meaghan used to work as a cake decorator, and she uses some of those same techniques on ceramic.

I picked up a lamp many years ago in a thrift shop; the shade was purchased separately. Reminds me of the PDX ladies work:
Took a good bit of time cleaning up that lamp. I think the previous owner was a smoker and it took some careful cleaning with a small toothbrush and Q-tips to get it looking nice. The applied flowers are unglazed, which made it even a bit more challenging!
