The Pawn Shop Files

So. August in Maine. It's a nice month. My new header pic was taken in August at the Boothbay Botanical Gardens, which is fairly close by (20 minutes, depending on traffic). My own gardens (I hesitate to use such a grand name for what I've got) are quite sad due to lack of time but I do have some Hosta

and some strange mushrooms growing. They're very orange.

lovely Hydrangea (I adore how the white turns that lovely shade of green)

and these pretty white flowers whose name I've forgotten. Anyone?

And then there's the pawn shop, which has been quite busy with summer people as well as our many regulars (and oh, aren't they a colorful bunch...). We've got lots of stuff, including a ton of old bottles we just got in. Those two boxes are just a fraction.

Here's a shelf in our kitchen. Don't you love the roosters?

And finally, some of my favorite artwork, like this floating tree. We wants it.

And this watercolor (I do like a nice seascape - something with movement and mood)

And this one. It's a watercolor, too, and so intricately drawn...*sigh*

Yep. It's a pretty fun place to work.
