My World

While sifting through a few boxes of buried treasures, I came across this vintage metal globe I purchased a few years ago. Sure, it had a bit of rust along it's bottom...but who really cares, right?

Apparently Pippa liked it as much as I did, prancing around the shiny blue ball - becoming all "fluffed" as if it were a prize she'd caught.

Funny thing is...I could relate.

Hope you enjoy the weekend in your world!

    I used to have a globe exactly like that since I was a young girl. Just recently I was wondering if I sold it or stored it. Hopefully, it's in storage 'cause I really would like to keep it. Love the kitty!

    Oooooh, I love globes! And I love the colors on that one, good find (or "re-find" as the case may be!).

    Love your purpose. I, too, am into remaking, reusing, rethinking it all.
    Nice photography---what make and model of camera do you use for your photo shoots? I need to upgrade for recording my own art and my students' projects.

    A vintage globe, where in the world did you find that? Your cat sure does look pleased with herself on her discovery. What are your plans for the globe? I love the name Pippa! Thank you for the awesome pictures.
