VTT, PAPER POPPIE'S, & A CACHE

VINTAGE SILHOUETTE: My VTT for this week. These are two vintage hand painted silhouette pic's done in silver and black not the usual black and white. I got them about 10 yrs ago at a yard sale for $3. They are from the 1930's and the last time I checked they were listed at $30.00 each. I love them. I have some other silhouette pic's that were my maternal grandmothers. She had them hanging on the wall going up the stairs. They were hanging there as far back as I can remember.

PAPER POPPIES: Here are a few things I made last week for my altered are projects. I got the idea from another altered art blog. My take on them was to use pages from magazines. I cut out the colorful part of a page or a colorful add. Cut rounds in two sizes and crumpled them up. Then I un-crumpled them some what not totally flat and glued them together in the middle. Then added a button. I wanted them to stand up around the edges and stay that was so I painted them with watered down white glue. Very lightly. I tried to take the pic so you could see how they stand up around the edges. Fun to make and addicting.

PALM TREE CACHE

THE CACHE: This was a cool cache! And easy to find even tho I have never seen on like it. It took me longer to walk to tree from parking lot than to find the cache. Its that black dot in the middle of the dead palm branch.




To show you how small it is, that is a dime beside it. And I needed one of my "special tools" to get the log out and signed.

Well thats it for today, thanks for looking and come back soon. I hope to be posting more often.

THE CACHE IS THERE

NANO CACHE WEATHER IN MELBOURNE FL: Temp 79 Sunny with a few clouds. Beautiful day.

The other day Maggie and I ate lunch at this little park, one of our fav's because of the

ibis, sea gulls, ducks, and ugly long legged things. I will take a pic of them next time. In the first pic this crowd always come to greet. Waiting for a hand out. I give them bread scraps. Fun to watch them grab and run with their bounty. In the second pic is a one legged ibis. He always hangs back, so I try and get a hunk a bread to him. I wonder what got is foot. Then there are the brave bully's of the parking lot. They jump right on the hood looking in the windshield at you!

The cache is one 6 we found over the weekend. It was located at a popular ice cream place.

Mrs. Garmin - Geea took us supposedly to G-Zero. As you can see in the pic that there is not much there at GZ. So I got out and look closely at everything and felt everything looking for it.

After about 20 min I got back in the truck to leave, sat there for a few min, and looked right in front of me, and said maybe that's it, so got back out and went over lifted it up to look under it and "bingo" that was it. If you click on the pic you will see a lock on the white fence area. It was a magnet nano. They drilled out a small hole on the bottom and attached the nano. I have seen lock hiding a cache before but they were fake locks. This one was in use so I really didn't think that was it. Cool cache hide.

You can see how small a nano is, penny beside it. They look like a fat pencil eraser. Usually find them stuck on a road sign.

Thats it for now thanks for looking come back soon
