vintage finds | jackie boy bear

it's been a while, and i've missed the crowd. circumstances required a different approach, until i almost burst. i'm talking visiting thrift shops, baby. i'm talking, finding i'm hooked. i'm also talking, to heal myself and my longing demands, high time to hit the road. jack.

i still have plans with these
bear with, bear with
these a-ones esp. for quiet paws
she might go ta-dam, ta-dam
run dmc ;)))
so glad to feel this china in my hands
and then some
scenes from urban wallony
{they are modest coffee mugz}
which brings me to jackie boy bear
he sat in a dusty corner
he came really cheap

he needed a wash, a scrub
and now he's cuddly happy again

  2. I am thinking of you here today. It is all overcast and rainy, the fire is on ...and I am watching The Nuns Story with Audrey. So good that I can comment again.
    I am hooked as well...but I have free will, I have a choice, I can choose to walk away. Am I strong enough? Oprah says I am...so it must be the truth:)

    And there is no "Jackie boy bear until mr. right shows up". They will have to be pals. Otherwise mr right won't be so... right.
