And I got outdoors at lunch in Richmond on Friday, and took a photo of this old building. There are lots of such buildings in Richmond--it's a city with a huge stock of unrestored structures with good bones or at least interesting details. See the "Horses Horses" faded paint on the bricks? Wonder if it was a feed store, and if so, how recently. Sixties? Earlier? Wonder how long it takes for paint to fade to this extent.
Off I go. In the meantime, Elvis counsels a good luxurious scratching session.
Happy week ahead!
that sampler is absolutely gorgeous! the colors are beautiful.

ReplyDeleteLove that old building, too... It's too bad no one has restored more of Rishmond, but at the same time... it's pretty great to be able to see the patina of time, isn't it?
Have a great week!

These old buildings are beautiful in some way and they hide a lot of history. Sometimes I'd like to travel back an time and see them like they were in old times.
ReplyDeleteNice progress on Ann.
