Hoarding

 Felicity liked to collect many types of items…especially oversized shoes and envelopes.

Her house was piled up with such things…plus her husbands nuclear sun reactor project he never finished.

Theme Of The Week - Hoarding

The dictionary says - "the act of collecting large amounts of something and keeping it for yourself, often in a secret place: The food shortages have been exacerbated by hoarding." Also those people who cant throw anything away. You know who you are! Have fun!

The Sporting Life of 1957 ICE FOLLIES Figure Skaters...

..."Fancy Free" Georgiana Sutton & Richard Dwyer

and coming in for a landing is

"The Belle of New Orleans" Florence Rae.

P.S. As of a couple of years ago, Richard Dwyer, then age 87 was still skating and can be seen on YouTube if you search. He is absolutely still living up to his name:

Mr. Debonair!

Here is a link:

P.S. I think Richard Dwyer resembles Rob Brydon -- 

we LOVE the British Game show "Would I Lie to You"?

Theme Of The Week - This Sporting Life

We haven't had sport as a theme for a while so feel free to include some aspect of sport or games in your collages this week. Football, cricket, darts, snooker, tennis, etc. So many to choose from and with the Olympics just around the corner seems like a good way to promote physical exercise of all kinds! Have fun!

SCIENCE FICTION or SCIENCE FACT -- First successful clone of circa 1910 Simon and Halbig doll into human being!

 Boy did I have fun with this one. Luckily I had two copies of the same book about dolls. (And I got to hone my skills with cutting those "ransom letter" letters to create words!) I also learned in the UK you call tabloids "red tops".

sciencefiction-sciencefact: Grandparents training to be Astronauts.

Time Machine..science fiction..science fact.

 I got a little carried away trying to build a Time Machine out of stuff  “I found in the shed”.

It got a little complex..pretty sure it would work though.

Science Fiction/ Science Fact - Looking Into The Future

Theme Of The Week - Science Fiction / Science Fact?

This weeks theme is all about the future or maybe the past? What do scientists get up to in their labs? What inventions will we get in the brave new world? Will we ever get those jet packs they always promised us? Have fun!

fantasy-dinner: Fictional TV Dinner.

FANTASY DINNER -- "The Mirage on the Overland Trail"

WESTWARD HO!

Black & white photograph depicts the Overland Trail circa 1862.

Migrants pause during their 2,000 mile, 5 month trip from Independence, Missouri to the coast of the United States.

I can image more than one of the travelers wishing they could sit down to a home cooked meal.

Fantasy dinner.

 I think I was just thinking massive cake or biscuit.  (Then I noticed it says Dog Biscuit…)

I would prefer a fancier cake to be honest…

Made this watching the interior design challenge….i think it influenced me.
