I try not to take for granted the little things that make my life easier: post-it notes, a nail file, staples . . . and these little beauties, which apparently were invented in 1900 (though I definitely don't remember them being around for my entire life) by a clever man named Edwin Moore.

You've made something very humble look very attractive, Alexa. This is ideal for black and white!
ReplyDeleteGood b&w shot!
ReplyDeleteCreative and a great post in B&W!
ReplyDeleteThe clear one looks like a bit of a renegade.
ReplyDeleteI tried to use a push pin to mark a favorite spot on Google Street View but I found out that idea was all wet.
I don't remember push-pins when I was younger either. I do remember stepping on thumbtacks...which I guess is why push-pins were invented, since they don't go 'sharp-side up'.
ReplyDeleteSaw on Genie's blog you like YSL Rive Gauche...me, too, next to L'Heure Bleue de Guerlain.
I like this BW photo very much.
Great b/w and love that peek of dots in the corner. I do not remember these, only thumb tacks. I am a art-supply and office-supply junkie so I have these in many colors - hah!
ReplyDeleteI still have an empty bottle of Paris YSL and wore Rive Gauche for many years.
Bises,

Very striking photo! Sometimes those "little things" can be quite significant.
ReplyDeleteThe collection is very attractive, and makes a fine photo. Excellent.
