The Essential Heart

Wouldn’t it be grand to go there, in the real world of this painted scenery on this Japanese wall pocket…blossoms like snowdrops but on a sunny or slight-overcast day; foliage, lavishly green; a lustrous flowing brook of water—
If we could just make-believe for a moment that we are there. A sacred building.
“A beautiful mind”; I purposely rephrase said statement: a beautiful soul of a projective sound mind.
Essence of a soul–
GOLD CASTLE HAND PAINTED CHIKUSA USA MADE IN JAPAN

To fill the wall pocket planter:

Holly berries in green stage, slowly turning red for the upcoming late part of Fall into Winter; straight up through Christmas.

Keep (toxic) berries away from small children and pets–a reminder.

Hummingbirds love these petite fire engine-red hibiscus blooms of Turk’s Cap Mallow. This vibrant flowering perennial is also known as Sleeping Hibiscus, Wax Mallow, and Cardinal’s Hat.
A young Japanese Tassel fern stem of fine fronds; a tropical evergreen. The stems on these ferns darken into a reddish hue as each ‘paddle’ of leaves grow larger into the next season.
Lucky Charm Boxwood–perhaps so.

Identically similar to other plants in the shrub family.

Cuttings of Winterstar Boxwood–
Festive Holly-

So many, many kinds of this Christmas plant that is every bit an all-season, every-season hearty plant.

Let’s call them all “Christmas-festive” (’cause we can).

Ta-da!
“Junk jewelry” has current trending power–the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s.
They thought our grandmothers wore the “gawdy” jewelry–think again–it’s us.

They knew what was cool all along.

We re-live it.

These Golden Girls pretties never really went out of style.

Good vibe, bright-color memories.

An owl necklace with a long chain–still a hoot.
This bird flies freely, also, on a long chain.
The young wear these now, these hard plastic beads on a thread string; straight out of the ’70s.
Still a comfort-feel in the fingers.
This may not be vintage/as vintage as the other pieces, but it has the style with more aging to do; a Mexican flare.
USA MIRRO rolls/bread warmer works great as a cookie saver.
Here’s a good recipe-
The mustang print on this polyester button-down…
It’s like art.
Bright orange swirls, mid-century western-style; pointed collar…
Authentic EUC.
A cactus print on the fabric, too.
This will be fun to wear in the Autumn time, for sure.

Mid-century-modern candle holders with copper; stunning…
I love the look of blue sand-art swirl of paint colors on this deco piece.
This would go nice on a mid-century stereo cabinet–like this one.

I was happy to find some old, but new, McCALL’S sewing patterns that were never cut into; purchased but never used–
The cape, a staple garment for Fall; and a prairie skirt out of Autumn calico floral prints…
Not just for a fun hobby, but a means.

Vintage cooking utensils, a must! This blue, this way of being.

These are “the dog days of summer”.
