Ok, the glass ball is cracked, but I think we could mod-podge that with some nice scrapping paper? And add some acrylic paint to the bottom? Then, yesterday, we found a new second hand store that had opened in our small town, that was actually called "Needfull things". I know the shopkeeper used this name to achieve the exact effect he achieved with me - pulling me into that store. I found, for two Euros, can you believe it, this gem:
I like old books. I could never make such things as this. Pure satanism, to me, no matter how nice it might look. I only have a very small collection of old books, and this one, being from 1905, is my oldest now. I collect only books that have a value to me, apart from their possible financial value, which I don´t care about. I chose this one yesterday because we read Schiller when I was in school, and I had sort of a crush on him. And I love art deco, this cover looks awesome. And look, there´s a stamp and a personal note written on the inside:
Reading those words, written 105 years ago, makes me feel connected to all those people who lived before me. It makes me feel like... like I could time travel. I read in it yesterday. Oh my, the young Schiller wrote pretty cheesy stuff :-) Oh, and I also found something else:
This box cost me one Euro, I bought a whole bunch of them, and now I´m sorting all my ribbons and buttons and zippers and elastics I have lying around here. They fit nicely into my black and white scheme, don´t they? And my musical find for today is: Melissa auf der Maur played, I think, bass in Courtney Love´s band Hole. I adored Courtney Love when I was younger. No, I still do. Come on, when you survived the intense, extraordinairy intro, it´s quite a cool song :-)
