Today I celebrate all things red!

Perhaps it started with my choice of mug for my morning cafe'-

black and white line drawings of Winnie the Pooh characters,

with the inside of the mug a bright true red!

Perhaps it was the water cup that I picked for today -

a black commuter cup with the red symbol of Lucent Technologies.

Perhaps I am inspired by the red 'Batman' phone that Michael keeps on the desk, covered with a glass dome, just like Commissioner Gordon has.

Who knows what quirk in my brain went red today?

so, am I seeing red?

"Seeing red" is American slang for 'being really mad or angry'.

You can't think of red things, without thinking of the red rose -

c.1908

or Dorothy's Red Ruby Slippers -

necklace for sale at http://www.artyscapes.etsy.com/

a vintage cigar ad

and of course, I have to add at least one red costume from Liana's blog -

I have posted the 2 base paper dolls that fit this costume numerous times in previous blogs - search for 'Liana's"

Here are a couple more red vintage song sheet covers:

c.1895

a red cardinal for you -

One red milk maid page from a vintage Alphabet Book -

Is my face red yet?

(American slang for 'I am embarrased')

("Boy, my face sure is red!")

Think I'll end today with a Happy red Mary Poppins poster!

a Happy Birthday Party for Peter

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

PETER

If I could make you a fancy cake,

it would be a chocolate pirate ship.

www.lilygene.etsy.com

We might even have to learn a pirate song,

just for your birthday!

c.1902

 

pirate show at WDW, Florida

You would get a super, fantastic Happy Birthday

hand stamped card, perhaps like these:

'Ship at rest' by tyra smith

 rubberstampave

 rubberstampave

 rubberstampave

'Quiet Calm', Stampscapes 2008

I would make for you and your friends cool beaded patches to wear:

or perhaps mount this onto a leather wrist band?

Then I would have recycled bottlecap art

to give everyone,

some as pins, some as magnets:

for sale in my shop:

http://www.inkspired.etsy.com/

We will laugh,

and snort root beer up our noses

while eating Double Deckeroni Pizza

from Old Chicago.

Maybe Dad will tell us about the

BIG MOUTHED FROG again!

And if I could, we would go to DisneyLand

and ride the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' 5 times in a row!

and spend lots of $$ in the Pirate gift shop!

At the end of the day,

we might have to eat more chocolate cake:

www.afoop.com

and go off to dream of ghost ships....

Glynda Taylor, 'ghost ship' 2003

and treasure....

Frank Godwin illustrator, 1925



and the treasures that we have

that cannot be measured

or counted by gold...

I love you, Peter.

Happy Birthday.
