September red

I did something I rarely do - I bought flowers for myself. It was worth it because the rooms seem to come to life and when I wander by It is a repeated pleasure to study the details of the perfect petals. What you see on the right is the plaster negative shape of a large dog paw. Next to it is the tip of a plaster foot - mine actually. The foot can be seen in my very first post in July

The camera had problems capturing such a deep red. Too much of the good stuff

This is not a great photo but I wanted you to see the combination of colours on the cupboard top. The baby blue, the red and the dusty green (the plums) represent the colours of the fifties for me

This is a sportscar I once found and rescued. I actually sawed it in half so that I could prop it against the wall - it looked as if it has crashed through the wall. Though in a sorry condition I let it participate in the red set-up

It was ever so hard to get this in focus but I love the museum/putbehindglass/this is exquisite feel that goes with putting something under glass. The flower is sitting in an old tin biscuit form

This sign cannot be seen on the other photo because it has been fastened at the top of the mirror. I know some people would find it strange to keep something this tattered but to me the silver and the red fitted right in here. The sign reads 'emergency exit' or 'nødudgang' in Danish

This flower is called bridal veil in Danish and is usually found in combination with other flowers but I like them all by themselves. The boxes are old bank boxes and the lids open halfway. They were one of my best buys. On the left is the headlight of an old car. It is sitting there because I am going to put a halogen bulb in it and hang above a full body mirror

They just don't make closing mechanisms like these anymore
