Am I Blue...? And Gold.

The very first of many sky-blue treasures in my life/home; an old ceramic double-

handled cup/saucer, bought on my 27th birthday, at the Clignancourt flea market when 

I was living in Paris, meets the latest of my golden birds; a tiny pillbox with a tiny magnet and pill-tongs on the inside, recently bought for $10 at an antique mall in Arroyo Grande, CA. When you love everything you bring inside your home, 

it all goes together beautifully. 

Devoting my life to beauty, one treasure at a time... Miss Absinthe

Spooky Old Man Sweater

My love of vintage mens wool cardigans goes back to my very first vintage clothing buy. It was oversized, dark olive-green and worn almost every day of my senior year of high school. I can't believe I ever let it out of my sight and list its loss under my Fashion Regrets (only regrets worth having). I have, however, loved and worn to this day, a maroon cardigan I got back in New Orleans in 1994. I like to leave it in the car and wear it to keep the sun off me when I drive. Protecting the pale is a full-time job!

When this $1 beige beauty crossed my path a few months back, I grabbed it.
 But it needed something to make it a little more interesting.

 These buttons are the perfect subtle detail and were less than $11 total. 

Spooky and spice and everything nice, that's what little Bohemians are made of.

Boo... Miss Absinthe

Blog Blog Again...

It's been a dry year for my inspiration... I wish I could blame the California drought. Perhaps some sort of sacrifice to the weather gods would do the trick?

However, I have renewed determination and a few groovy ideas, with fingers crossed that a new adventure or two will be on the way. If I blog, the adventures will come?

Stay tuned mes amis... Miss Absinthe
