i have just come across this wonderful illustrator, rebekka seale.  i think her use of color is perfect and i just love the sweetness in her subject matter and painting style.  smitten.... i was peeking around her website and looking at her work and i stumbled across a house painting of flannery o'connors house in milledgeville, ga.  i needed to share!

the other day my dad found an ad for an estate sale in comer, ga.  we headed there first thing in the morning.  people now put the label estate sale on everything.  this particular estates sale was a little junk store that was going out of business.  we found some good things like old bottles, tins and i scored a vintage stroller for my shop! there is always something to be found.

it’s no secret that there is no shortage of creative folks here in athens.  apparently this has always been the case.  last night we went to Cine to view the movie “the world’s smallest airport”- a documentary of the thrasher brothers aerial circus.  all i can say is, it was fantastic!

if you didn’t catch it in athens, there is a free screening at the elberton theater in elberton, GA.

see a trailer of the movie here.

i visited etowah indian mounds recently. the mounds are up near cartersville.  the main mound is the largest indian mound in the southeast, at 61 feet.  the dirt was all dug from a trench created around the base of the village that was there.  with no shovels, buckets, or any kind of tools we know of, this mammoth mound was built. i t is 1 acre big at the top, and is where important ceremonies took place.  it was built sometime around 950 a.d..by the time deSoto arrived in 1520, it was deserted, and the indians around there had no knowledge of its history.  the vista from the top includes a gorgeous view of the etowah river and surrounding fertile plains, as well as white man’s trailer park,and,on the horizon, industrial towers belching smoke. the lives of the indian inhabitants is surrounded in mystery, as is the future of white man’s progress.

you have to realize, living in the south’s humid climate, you see a lot of rust.  you also have to realize that, for a southerner, the color of rust lies close to the heart.  after all, it’s the color you’re most likely to see in nature: pine needles on a forest floor, or a carpet of fallen oak leaves in autumn; red clay banks and red dirt roads; rusty tin and plowed fields – all that beautiful rust color.  that color speaks to us of old south, and we love it.  here’s a gallery of gorgeous rust to admire -
