I have been collecting bottle caps during my runs outside on Saturdays, and so far I have only collected 3. I have a project to turn these into workable art once I get enough.

So, our neighbor, an 80ish year old woman got put into an assisted living facility due to health problems. The picture to the left is what was left over from her home. Sadly, the family of our neighbor decided that it was better to just to throw everything out on the boulevard instead of going through it and giving some away to goodwill.

This blog will be my interpretation of something that I find as a style of art. The idea of recreating something new from something old is refreshing. This design style is deemed Shabby Chic.
