vintage finds | a header explained

as i was preparing above header (update! header now changed again), i got thinking about what it offers the viewer, besides it being the perfect companion to woolfenbell-in-summer. all items, from back- to foreground, are vintage. 

the little house was rummaged amongst rubble, as old houses usually are. in my dreams, this house is it. in reality, it is this: a little stoneware gem. 

the animal to the right is a goat, if you'd ask me. goats sometimes 'hang from' trees. this little copper beauty pulled my attention for being tiny and seemingly smart. oh, and big as a house, of course, as the header shows. 

in the middle sits an enigma. the bottom side being a spool i unintentionally glued to the earring ball above. this image totally explains moi. the ball came undone, it needed mending. i unhooked it and glued it together again. then i needed it to rest on a support. how about an old plastic spool? 

☻ chances are i won't be able to pull it off its stand no more. i will just have to go through life in a pair of sphere earrings, one ball slightly out of character, for dragging a cotton spool to it. i can't decide. left or right ear? summer does weird things 'rond here. sophie's attic too today!
