Pepi le Piu

I was grinning at "Beth's Artworx" - and Sissie's whimsical drawing of her 1964 VW Bug.

And I knew what I had to do!!!

I had to search until I found this picture of Sissie and her car (with the most awesome name of "Pepi le Piu Flea Longstock, Jr. (aka stinky little furry feet, the second)" - taken during a snowstorm back in the 70's.

(Check out Jane's "Vintage Weekly" to see more fun old photos!)

And in keeping with the themes ... I just had to add a snowy heart!

Found in a Book ...

I love books!

Reading a book ... a real paper-and-ink publication ... is like losing myself in another world.

Or visiting an old friend.

Sometimes I find treasures tucked between the pages ...

Notes, cards, bookmarks ...

I'm not sure I will ever be comfortable with reading books "electronically".

Because there's more to books than just reading them!

I Heart Gift Bags

I love gift bags. Some of them are so much prettier than any wrapping I could ever come up with - even if I had the time!

The only problem with gift bags is that sometimes they are just way too cute or pretty to give away! I guess I'm not alone ... I found a stash of brand new gift bags at a thrift store at one point, and bought a few of them.

Can you guess why I grabbed this one?
Um, could it be because of the HEARTS?
Of course!!!
