Survival of the Sweetpeas!

These little lovelies are the lone survivors of my backyard garden planting

from last summer.

Everything else was cut down by gardeners who apparently can't distinguish very definite non-grass from grass, despite my posting a sign indicating it was a garden... in Spanish. Just have to laugh.... yeah.

I just had to immortalize them...

and may I tell you, their sweet smell lived up to their name!

A Tale of Two Markets

A few Sundays ago, my sweetie-pie and I went to the Santa Monica Airport Antiques Market and found it much changed since our last visit, a couple of years ago. We were disappointed to find this place a shadow of its former self, but as we were walking away empty-handed and a bit forlorn, this groovy Indian statue kindly stood in our way and provided an artistic save to the day...

Sweetie-pie has recently rediscovered the fun of shooting with a Holga 120S and I'm loving the results!

Two weeks later, at the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market, he took this pic of me (wearing the Mexican peasant top I got at Out of the Closet!), standing in an open doorway, holding the sweetpeas I bought to sweeten up our home.

Vintage Finds + Farmers Market Sweetpeas + Holga = Perfect Moment

This new passion of his has led to the creation of a blog:
