He's A Doll!



It's been far too long a spell as I've neglected this poor ol' blog severely!  I wanted to share with you one of my recent finds and a fave collectible, vintage Barbie and Ken dolls.  I found this fella hanging out at the beach, Hahaha!  Although he is missing his original "Flip Flops", he's in otherwise wonderful vintage condition.  

He's the 1962, painted hair version.

A Mid Summer's Day




BREEZE OF A WARM WIND BLOWS
THE TUNE OF SOFT CHIMES MELODY








CHILDREN AT PLAY SOUNDS ECHO
SUMMER'S AMBIANCE FILLS THE DAY






A YARD SPRINKLER SPLASHES
THE SPRAY OF A COOLING MIST
THAT RIDES THE WIND TO SHARE A SPRITZ


AND COOL THE SUN RAYS BLISTER









FLOWERS STRETCH WITH OPEN ARMS
AS THOUGH TO STAND ATTENTION
REACHING FOR THE WARM BRIGHT SUN
 TALL IN THE SKIES DIRECTION






THE DAY DESCENDS TO EVENINGS DUSK
BIRDS SETTLED AND GIVE WAY

STARS APPEAR AS IF THEY MUST
DRAW CLOSED ONE MID SUMMER'S DAY

Weather or Not?





Here I share with you some of my favorite examples of vintage "Yard Art" pieces.  From bicycles to birdbaths, this sampling lends to what could be.  The question is "Weather or Not" to leave it out to become that rusty, crusty yard art?
