the first acorns
July 30, 2009 | Filed Under vintage, wanderings | by Sarah Blank | 9 CommentsThey are big and so green!
Found under a huge, old (and very shady) oak tree during a walk yesterday.
And so appropriate that this 1920’s photograph folder has such a pretty acorn border on the front (a recent etsy purchase):
Is it rude to say I like the folder more than the photograph? There’s something about her that’s a bit too quirky.
And sketchings.
Yesterday I started a new painting, a pairing for my most recent “Honeybee Stories”. And I have an additional theater idea now too, which I might start tomorrow.
I like the folder better too
I`ve always wanted to pick acorns…. sadly oak trees doesn`t grow around here
Oh btw, yes the pictures in the frames I bought is printed on a satin-like fabric. I`m planning on using them for crazy quilting if I ever got time.
Although, the folder is a real beauty I really like the quirky girl. She looks smirky but still she does it with a very funny twinkle in the eyes. (or do I just need new glasses?!)
It might be rude, Sarah, but so do I … So do I !
This folder is truly beautiful ! Very American Arts & Crafts movement …

Acorns! I remember those! Its been awhile though. Another tiny little east coast detail that I miss.
Acorns!!! Hoooorah!! : )
And, oh are you going to do a shadow box!?
I’ve been working (way too slowly, alas) on a shadowy box project for what seems like aaaages now…..I really should try to finish it! tee hee!
I’m beaming to see what sort of theater your working on!! : )
A shadow box is a good idea! I’m trying hard to stay completely flat but so inspired!
Posted the other theater just now, and the third is 1/2 complete.
Thank you!!!
im looking forward to hearing more about the theatre idea:)

Yes, the honeybee stories painting was the theater idea, manifested. I just finished my second.
