sad stories

wanna hear something sad i do
sometimes after work i just walk down to a canteen near my house alone
have a beer alone
then walk back home, make a stop at a late night taco stand
then sleep,
alone

the nana jacket

i always loved this jacket, but never got around to stealing it from my nana while i lived there in highschool. thankfully, i didn't have to because she offered it to me the other day after knowing i had my eye on it. this jacket's been around since god knows when, 70s? and came with a hideous orange pin stripped skirt. i ditched the skirt, and kept the kinda 80s grunge military style coat.

beau chapeau

if you keep your stuff around long enough you are bound to love it once more! a hat that for many years was the laughing stock of the family, has been rediscovered by yours truly, and i am in love! gap straw bowler hat circa 1993. actually an interesting topic; i will actually do another post sometime with old items that have been 'rediscovered'!

grey cotton tee - gap, black petticoat - aa, silver heart neclace - gift from portugal, & although not much of a brightly coloured nail polish kind of girl.. this neon orange milano nail lacquer  from lawtons goes on quite thin, and is matte! how cool!

aquatic love

making a quick note to welcome a few new additions to the fam!

meet: tupac, biggie, mj, and the extremely elegant ernest [unintentionally named, but it stuck.]


before heading out of province for school, i pawned my fish tank off on two dear friends. after two years i am now back in halifax and i have to say, it is so nice to have the tank back at my side! it is sitting in the corner of my bedroom on an old white trunk and is really quite soothing to fall asleep to. and in fact, maybe a little too mesmerizing at times.

currently, the count is at 6 fishies and it is quickly going up! oh, the lucky devils, they even have a medieval castle to camp out in.

 i guess my love for fishes doesn't stop there. i accidentally found myself with a collection of fish necklaces one day.
 top left: hand carved wood fish from tobago keys
top right: japanese/chinese? fish pendant
bottom left: hand carved from nut shell, from grenada
bottom right: gift, silver fish pendant from portugal

although my fish jewelry collection is quite sufficient, there is always room for more!

i really love this origami fish necklace from origami bijou.
 
this abalone and sterling silver fish from yukonron in etsy is quite fantastic as well!
