2. POCKETS PROJECT

"We all carry excess baggage with us everyday: keys to forgotten locks, expired chewing gum, intimidating balls of lint. These freeloading objects take our pockets, purses, and bags for granted, weighing us down and holding us back.

The International Association for Empty Pockets is a worldwide movement dedicated to the end of pocket clutter. Contributions to the Pockets Project will form a communal burial ground for the detritus of everyday life – and mark a new era of freedom for your pants.

Our pockets are overflowing. The time to empty is now!

All contributions are welcome. 

Simply sign the Empty Pockets Pledge.. .  and mail your objects to us, or jumpstart your efforts with an Empty Pockets Kit.

Please note that items sent to the project will not be returned but instead turned into a giant art installation.

.I LOVE THIS!

Both projects are sponsored by the ART HOUSE CO.OP

WHAT IS A PROJECT?

"Art House projects are a way to inspire artists to create artwork – whether they are professional artists or just starting out. All of our projects are open to everyone. Find some projects that interest you, sign up, and get creative. Most projects have an exhibition at our home base in Brooklyn, NY. Everyone who participates and sends back their work are included in the exhibitions."

garage sale chic

just Facebook 'liked' this shirt from Ruche. 
one of my favorite online shops. [not that I have ever officially purchased anything from there] .. 
my Sister has gifted me several Ruche items, luckily, but .. 
my wallet has never shopped there. 
my credit card debt will  finally be paid off in several months. 


countdown to which a real party should be planned. 
this was a serious BALANCE. 
due in part to clothes like this.. .among other things.  

but this is a topic for another time. . .. 


isn't it funny how this shirt is SOOOooooo old lady-ish... and yet i'm all over it?!? 
imagine it with a leather skirt? 
: a chunky crystal necklace - maybe, even a cute knit hat to top it all off. . 
Funny how everything old is new again. All vintage things are so attractive .. to me at least. 
I'm finding that the things my eyes cling to are actually kind of ugly themselves - until I have fun 'funking' them up.


Do you find yourself doing this? or am I alone in this search for unmatchable 'garage sale chic' items?

some thoughts from francis chan:: :

if you haven't read Crazy Love - it's a book you need to get your hands on.
i blogged about it quite a bit ago  _ but uncovered him again today. 

his book is life changing.

i love to listen to him speak:  the stories -  his perspective.
one of my next "to reads" on my bookshelf is his newer book: Forgotten God.
