Small Scale Fabricated Photography, Toy Photography History, Art Creation Musings
Quite an ordinary week. Started and ended with flea markets and thrift stores. Work, cleaning, cooking and all the boring stuff in between. Some creative planning, but not a lot of creative persuing. This all makes for a very useless blog post, but I've committed. Tomorrow we're going to the zoo though and I'll hopefully... Continue Reading →
Sunday Eric and I went to the Coliseum Roadshow, a toy and comic show. We left empty handed since it was more geared to comic fans. But we then went over to Cool Stuff Vintage and I got some cool minis. Monday and Tuesday were all about work, blogging and watching Hoarders. Wednesday, bright and... Continue Reading →

I was in Lakeland for work and noticed that Ron's Miniature Shop was going to be almost precisely on my way home to Jacksonville, so of course I had to stop by. And I wasn't disappointed.
My mom and I finally went to check out the Bayard Antique Village last week. While we only recently became aware of it, the location itself has existed since 1949. US 1 was the main North/South travel road of the area. The formerly named Beautyrest Cabins provided a nice place to stay while en route.... Continue Reading →
