Superman Returns?

I was recently informed of the new Superman film due out sometime this year. This is crazy news to me as I have a strong emotional attachment to the 1978 Superman. When I was 2 and a half or 3 I saw the original film on t.v. for the first time and I was so awed and spellbound by this angel of compassion and strength.
He was so good, so beautiful , and he flew! He was so magical to me that words escape me. To this day the sound track gets me excited just like when I was a little girl.
My biggest concern for the new film is the actor who plays him, but this guy seems gorgeous enough to do it. We'll see. . .

Etsy


I just discovered this site. I often feel that I'm late to discover such wonderful things. This is one of the creative things up for sale. I'm thinking of all my options to sell my stuff too.

Talk about a sweet bunny!


This is just outrageous! This is my good friend Kat who lovingly sang at my wedding. I need to eat her. The Superman is one of her brothers.

1920's Ribbon Art Book


I've seen this book on eBay a few times. I imagine it has great ideas for beautifying almost anything. Ribbon isn't used as often as it should these days.

Dress & Millinery Patterns



I saw these patterns on eBay (a lot of 20's stuff is there!). They're perfect for D.I.Y.ers.

Oh, These Pretty Things




I recently saw these on eBay. I wish I had the $$ and the space for these. The art work is so lovely. Sometimes I feel over loaded with the amount of beautiful things people create. I admire cultures that teach that ownership is unnecessary. When I see something I find beautiful I want to have access to it whenever I wish. I know I would be much happier if I only wanted them in a memory for happiness and inspiration.

Eureka Springs, Arkansas

Here are some pictures of the pretty town we live in. These were mostly taken in the older part of town. There is some rather thoughtless, fake, cheesy, right wing christian, rural urban sprawl created for the less evolved tourists, but fortunately much of the older part of town has remained intact and is very beautiful. Our fantastic little library is there.
The town seems to have been impossibly built up and down the sides of steep hills because of the abundance of springs which healed, quenched thirsts, and made metal magnetic. Healing water is such a lovely reason to found a town. If only the springs still flowed freely. There are so many Victorian and Edwardian buildings built on boulders and winding streets that it is amazing that modern American vehicles (i.e. egregious s.u.v.s, those giant "working" trucks that rednecks seem to like, mini vans, and hummers) are even allowed to drive downtown. Perhaps they'll make a rule about that one day.
A ton of tourists visit every year, but I don't think that Eureka Springs is known to many people besides those in the South, the Midwest, and the country of Texas. Most of the tourists have a typical look as you can imagine. It would be nice if more open minded and educated people came here. However, for a town of roughly 2400 there are many residents who are artistic, spiritual, thoughful, educated, and very open minded. They make this town very livable. The hills and forests are nice too.
