Card Shop
I like to stop into card shops and check out the latest line of goofy cards and photos. There's always room by my desk at work for pictures of musicians, artists and authors in classic poses. A coworker dropped by my desk yesterday for a brief discussion of the music of David Lanz and his piano. He commented about a photo I have of Andy Warhol and Georgia O'Keefe standing in what looks to be a Southwest desert scene. We both agreed, on first take, that they seemed like an incongruent mix. He commented that he'd place a wager that their painting studios would be so different. Of course having been to neither, we had no idea, but I'd hazard a guess that Warhol's would resemble the chaos that my desk area was in yesterday morning. Ribaldry laughing, we both agreed. Maybe I'll stop into the Paper Patch this morning. I plan to be in the area, and I could always used a bit more junk for my wall. You never know what you'll find, when you looking for nothing. Maybe I'll get lucky!
You should take a photo of your desk and make a card of that shot.
ReplyDeleteGood luck. But talk about "strange." Something to hang on the wall is not usually what someone means when he talks about "getting lucky"!
ReplyDeleteAnd you said we were strange down here.
Maybe so. But most of the folks down here come from up there! So there, too! Heh, heh.
Have a nice weekend!
I have a lot of pictures of writers on my wall.I like this kind of shop.i agree with Stefan, I'd like to see a pic of your wall! :o)
ReplyDeleteThe requests are mounting...let's see your desk and wall. The shop is VERY charming!
ReplyDeleteCharming spot; love the red and blue.
ReplyDeleteSweet shop and I agree. Show it to us! :-)
ReplyDeleteYou live in a place bursting with great architecture. Would love to visit the area.
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming little shop. I'd love to browse around in there.
ReplyDeleteFYI
ReplyDeleteWe did not stop at the Paper Patch for any more junk.
I was there this morning at about 10AM, did you see me? Oh, noticing above comment: I guess it didn't happenm proclamation of Elenka! No more junk, I hear you, Elenka...But it's so pretty! The owner told me that the Paper Patch is the oldest existing shop in the Old Port. I used to fill in at the cash register during holiday seasons... Back in the Day...
ReplyDeleteBTW, it's just up from Mornings in Paris where I enjoyed a coffee this morning...
I love seeing pics of artist studios. They usually seem to be fairly chaotic.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. Small family business. I go to as many of these as possible.
ReplyDeleteI agree, card shops can leave you with a good chuckle.
ReplyDeleteA very nice shop!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Elenka. We probably all have enough junk by now. Of course the things that I want are not junk, just what everyone else wants is junk.
ReplyDeleteI look at it this way..a messy desk is a productive desk, a neat desk, obviously not much going on...that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it haha!
