my futur new books

Again lost in the E-bay limbs, I choose to buy 9 books, hope they'll be great!!!

I love ROBOTS

Since a long time, I love tin toys, but what I adore more then tin toys, is the tin robots...
They are friendly, vintage, colorful, they cross the time and they didn't lose anything of their chilhood spirit.
That makes me remind the old movies from 50's, lazer shoots, screaming young girl on the top of building...
These paints are from Eric Joyner.

TIM BISKUP

One of my favourite artist...
50's, 60's spirit, of course...

Funny Zinzin in the Circus

Hihihi

Barnum & Bailey night table style

Since a long time, I'm fascinated by Circus.
More especially by the 50's circus, the one with great show and great colors and fabulous animals (but not well treated, I know and that's a pity)...
And of course, I like 40's, 50's and 60's furnitures and decoration...
MMMhhhhh, what can I do??? Oh yes!!!! A circus night table, it's just the beginning , I have to put other decorations on it but I'm quite happy of the result, because it was not what I planed but it has the spirit of 50's childhood, I like it like that, BUT, that's not finished yeat, I promise you to put other pics as soon as I get this work finish!!!

Lonesome poor night table

This is the sad story of a poor night table, she lived in few homes in her life but one day, a guy decided to sell it on e-bay...
I saw her, every people said about her, that she was awful, but as it was cheap, they said - ok, do what you want but...
As I've got the habit to hear that around me, I just didn't care, I won the auction, I took her in my new life and give her new style for a new start!!!
Fresh green with cherry blossoms, japanese style, just have to add shiny paint on it and it will be finish!!!

My birthday gifts

This year is the year of creation, as you can see, my sister offered me books of sewing and socks monster, I just can't wait to do it, I had buy few socks for, but it seems harder than it looks.
My mother offered me a new fresh bed, I feel like a baby butterfly, a new born every morning!!! ThanX!!!

SUFJAN STEVENS - The milk crate story

Sufjan Stevens was found in a milk crate on the doorstep of Mr. and Mrs. Stevens, in Detroit, MI, on Canada Day, July 1, 1975. He was wrapped in cellophane, and tagged on the wrist with the mysterious note: "I love you." Mr. and Mrs. Stevens had three other children: Jo-Jo, Zukey-Dukey, and Jam-Jam. Mrs. Stevens crocheted afghans for the flea market. Mr. Stevens was the custodian at the hospital. They had very little money, but very big hearts. They decided to keep the baby (using the milk crate to hold their National Geographics). They named him Sufjan Stevens, after Abu Sufjan Muhammad, the great Armenian Sufi warrior who slew ten thousand dragons to save the Fairy Princess. Despite his despondent looks, Sufjan was a good kid. Mr. and Mrs. Stevens did the best they could. They fed him carrots, they read him parts of the Bhagavad Gita, they combed his hair, they sang songs and tap-danced in the living room. Things were looking good!
Just hear this album and feel the great spaces of Prairie State inviting you for a walk...

50's kitchen furniture...

I post this kitchen furniture and I will send others in the future, just to let you know how much I love them!!!
This one, I bought it at "l'Armée du salut", an association who's sell second-hand furnitures for the one who needs some but don't have money enough to buy them.
He was hidden in a dark side, behind other furnitures, nobody like them except myself of course!!!
Why??? Because he just come from 50's and need a little help to recovering himself!!!
After a big washing and some coats of light turquoise enamel, he came back to life...

I've win the auction

Today, I've win the auction for this marvellous Tiffany Lamp, I couldn't explain how happy I am!!!
In fact, I had some money for my birthday, and now, I know I will use it for something very great!!!
For my birthday, my lovely sister offered me 3 books for sewing and one bag made her little hands, I look them a little bit and it looks great but I was still drunk because we made party for us birthday yesterday, I just couldn't read today, I was too lazy, but I can't wait to create!!!
Unfortunetly, I can't put picture, my cable is out...
My mother offered me a house of feather bed with leafs on it, too beatiful!!!
Well, as soon as I get a new cable, I put pics on my blog!

Green Tiffany

Here's the lamp that I wish to have one day, if I collect enough money, I will buy it...What a work, what a color, you know that I love green, green is my favourite color, I think green everyday!!! Maybe if I have money for my birthday, I will buy it...Usually, it's very hard for me to find a lamp that I would like to put on my night table, on the wall or everywhere it needs light...
I just don't like the way they look and for sure, this lamp is not usual and not able to fit with my world, but I just don't care!!!

Grass and daisies

I like to sleep on grass, I like the smell of the plants, the way they treat you with this softness...

Just for that and just because I love them for eternity, here's some pics...

Art déco revival...

Here's one of my new creation, it took me about 3 days to finish it but I'm quite happy of my work.
I was going on a second hand trade with my mother, a guy came to me and said "hey you, you like this furniture", of course I do but I just don't have any place in my flat!!!
"I sell you this furniture for 20 euros and I deliver it with you now...". Of course I have place in my flat, ok, my mother said the magical words "it could be the easter bells who offer you this furniture :)".
Well, well, well, ok, I take it!
Then, I took the furniture with this man that I just don't know anyway and I put it in the tow.
After this, I bought a sandpaper machine, I took over one full day to do it, I just couldn't breath anymore.
The day after, I choose the colors!!!
Flashy, of course.
I liquified acrylic colors, and I painted my furniture, it was just what I want, and my old furniture from 40's came back to life.
Now, he is in my bedroom and I admire him every day and the orange glass handles are just awesome...

KOKESHI DOLLS

Kokeshi dolls are made of wood and have no arms or legs. There are many different styles, but all are simple in their design with a head and a body - a sphere and a cylinder. They are usually very small, just few inches tall, but may be larger. The original dolls were always female. (Modern kokeshi dolls can be male).
According to the author of Japanese Dolls, there may be some religious significance to these dolls. The name itself means: ko=child, keshi=erasing. "In years of famine, women were unable to feed all their children and were reduced to abortion or infanticide (killing of a new-born baby). The new-born babes vanished so that the others should live. Kokeshi could thus have been memorial dolls, kept into the house to appease the spirits of the dead. In Japan feeble girls were less wanted than strong boys. No arms, no legs - a wrapped-up child or an innocent, wistful little ghost who has no need of arms or legs?"
