In front of the mosaic fence below, some remarkable and beautiful old vehicles. The top one is from the 30s, maybe?

Old and rusty, but still graceful.

I grew up around a lot of old watches, so I was entranced to see this jewelry in Island Books in Mercer Island, WA. The sign of the maker is underneath the bracelets. Snap one up before they are gone!

In a Thai restaurant in Ballard, a Seattle neighborhood, I saw this very old radio. Do you think it still works?

While I was in the Seattle Art Museum the other day I took this photo of an empty room I’d never seen. I hope that was OK. Pressed for time, I didn’t get to read anything about it. A recreation of a European room, perhaps from the Renaissance? What a lovely feeling it gave me.

I went to the most wonderful exhibit last night in Burien, WA: Hope in Hard Times, a pop-up museum that is well worth popping into. It’s only there through January 4, so if you are in the Seattle area, it’s well worth a visit. Many of us were strongly influenced by Depression-era culture. I know I was, through my mother. Here are some exquisite table linens that some anonymous artist made:

Walking in my South Seattle neighborhood not too long ago, I came across this perfectly red and shiny Fordomatic truck, obviously labored over and loved. I was glad I took photos of it, because an hour later it was gone. Here are two views. Which one do you like better?

There was a Fourth of July vintage autos exhibition at the Normandy Park Cove, and on a recent walk this specimen was in the neighborhood as evidence. I took a photo of the rear trunk plate because I’d never heard of a Kaiser car. Hope you like it.
