Juxtaposition



A postal scale from perhaps the 1970's on a chippy old ladder with doilies.


A fine juxtaposition of elements. 
Brilliant.
The above vignette is from Cornerstone another lovely shop on our town square.


may joy and peace surround you

    I think I would LOVE that store wouldn't I Olive? That scale is so cool, and here I thought everything from the seventies was ugly ;)

    Don't you love how people can throw together seemingless (is that even a word) non-related objects and they just look so right together. Hope you two had a great weekend!
