The Weekend in Black and White

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.

  1. You've made something very humble look very attractive, Alexa. This is ideal for black and white!

  2. Creative and a great post in B&W!

  3. The clear one looks like a bit of a renegade.

    I tried to use a push pin to mark a favorite spot on Google Street View but I found out that idea was all wet.

  4. 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'.

    Saw 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.

  5. 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!

    I still have an empty bottle of Paris YSL and wore Rive Gauche for many years.

    Bises,
    Genie
