Cute WWII V-mail Mail Correspondence up for Auction on Ebay

This sweet little World War II v-mail dropped out of a book that I had purchased.
I just love the poem on it, quite profound, giving us a great example of how language changes; Amazing.
The cartoon of the Navy soldier is done by T.W. Warren.



"THIS HERE EUROPEAN THEATRE OF OPERATIONS"

I've learned to call radio "wireless"
A victrola to me now's a "gram";
Instead of catching a street-car,
Now, "blimey," I'm hopping a "tram".

I drive on the left here in England,
By "lorry," and not in a truck;
And when I'm spending my money
"Five Shillings" is "limey" for buck.

My auto won't run without "petrol,"
And "cherrio" I use for goodbye;
A "clippie's" a street-car conductor,
I say "bloke" instead of guy.

And though my speech has been altered,
And changed since I've been away---
I still have no trouble in wishing
"Merry Xmas!" the American Way.

One of my favorite new pieces by Marie Chavez! I love gold this summer. I have a beautiful Persian friend who has the most buttery skin and her gold jewelry just radiates on her. This reminds me of something she would wear, rich and luscious gold!

Something about the "Sunrise Pendant" is very mystical, secret...just lovely. The MarieChavez.com website also has a sale section and her prices aren't too bad.

The Chrysanthemum in Japanese Art at The New York Botanical Garden

The Chrysanthemum in Japanese Art: a beautiful collection of collectibles and art from Japan decorated with the Chrysanthemum, is now showing at the New York Bothanical Garden until January 11, 2009.

I love the various reoccuring motifs found in Japanese art. You often see Bamboo, Cherry Blossom trees, Dragons, all of which have a deep meaning behind them. Bamboo symbolizes strength, endurance and resilience. The Cherry Blossom represents the cycle of life and Dragons represent the union of Heaven and Earth.

In the New York Botanical Garden Exhibition, you'll get to see the exquisite use of the Chrysanthemum, which represents Autumn in Japanese art. For a beautiful glimpse at some of the collection on display now, you can go here:
NYBG Kiku exhibition.

In the Absinthe Room Vintage collection, I have an estate piece: A Kanzashi in silver decorated with Chrysanthemums. I had to keep it for my self. Such a beauty!
