Blue Curtains

Into each day, some trash must fall--a faded Christmas wreath, a battered, discarded chair. I'm sure, in life, they served their time well. Whether we're the little ones that frequent these floors or others who have been there done that, we all need to search out 'creative pathways' to wind our way through this maze-like world we live in. Yes, art and play, along with some hard work sprinkled in for good measure should all be a part of our days.
And a couple of other random thoughts today brought to mind by these funky curtains: Blue Velvet, a quirky movie favorite, and of course the song Blue Velvet by Bobby Vinton... I hope you won't be humming that one all day.

  1. That red wood and those blue curtains make this place look cheerful in spite of the discards and that big pile of snow.

  2. A captivating hodgepodge. The snow covered upholstered chair adds a certain je ne sais quoi to the scene.

  3. If I were a parent, I would have some second thoughts about the cleanliness of this child care place . . . and I am not a nervous nelly kind of guy. I never liked Blue Velvet very much, so if I find myself humming it today, you're toast!

  6. Great eclectic composition of colors and lines. You even threw in a reflection for our enjoyment. There is something a bit disturbing about the chair covered in snow.

    I will not hum or think about "Blue Velvet" all day long (I hope!)

  10. I dimly recall the movie, which was not my favorite because of Dennis Hopper's unsavory character, but I do like the blue velvet curtains in the window of this quaint little structure.

  11. I like the red trim and the blue curtains, but that wreath has got to go!

  12. No but I do have mixed emotions here: elated at the sight of the lovely colours and the snow piled high and sad at the fate of the armchair...

  13. At first glance I was cheered by the blue drapes but I hope I don't hear Bobby Vinton in my head for the rest of the day!

  14. I was so engrossed by looking at the blue drapes that I almost didn't notice the chair.

  15. I'm afraid I WILL be humming that tune. :) I'm surprised at how many Christmas decorations are still up...here in Ontario as well as in other places.

  16. I'll get past Bobby Vinton. It's late (by my standards) and my sleepy head will put up a barrier. There is something particularly poetic about about the old chair having a new, frozen, seat cushion.

  17. Too late. Thanks a lot. I'll be seeing blue velvet through my tears as I look at all of the snow.

  18. I would have doubts about cleaning this place childcare and I am not a nervous nelly type of guy. The blue curtains are lovely and you captured some nice thoughts on that window!
