There are days I wish I could just "cowgirl" up and fix the world. Be the Lone Ranger and right wrongs. Annie Oakley and save the day. It's all about attitude - ride out into the dawn with a clear mission to do what's right and solve problems, be kind and strong.
So here's to choosing to get up every day - and doing what one person can do to make the world a better place.

This particular image is a "found" still life. The clock face was on the cement floor of an abandoned warehouse, I moved it from the pile of trash and took the photograph. (I wish now I had taken the face with me - the next time I got back in, the face was gone.) But at least I have the picture and can share it with you.

I make these images using my

A Cupboard Made
I have to confess that I love chippy old furniture, with the patina of age and all the stories that go with a vintage piece. Fortunately, I've married a man who likes old furniture, although not necessarily chippy furniture, and definitely likes saving money. Even better he has mad woodworking skills.
A friend of our gave us a pile of old windows salvaged from a hotel renovation in Virginia Beach, Virginia. They were in decent shape, and had some funky pink pepto-bismol paint.
We needed a place to store towels and bath supplies so these windows were to become the doors of a cupboard for our 1909 farmhouse on Virginia's eastern shore.
My husband built the frame out of salvaged wood he had in storage.
The windows became the cupboard doors, after we cleaned the windows we decided to leave the pink paint intact - so the inside of the cupboard doors is pink. And I even convinced the husband that the outside of the windows didn't need any thing more than a wire brushing to clean off any loose paint. We don't have small children so there were no worries about lead paint - otherwise the windows should probably be sealed with a clear varnish.
Ceramic electric 'knobs' from old knob and tube wiring were re-purposed as handles for the 'new' doors.
The top of the cupboard is barn wood salvaged from a barn that was torn down in Loudoun County, we left that as found - simply cleaned it up. The back is a piece of leftover bead board from the bathroom renovation. After much discussion we decided to use chicken wire, leftover trying to keep the rabbits out of the garden, as the sides. A coat of paint on the unfinished wood frame and our cupboard was finished.
The finished cupboard all loaded up, plenty of room for all our towels and bath supplies. And having glass doors forces us to stay tidy!
And here a picture of the cupboard from the side. I really like how the legs of the frame are tapered.
