The Shopping Sherpa: Reconstruct & Regress

Posted: March 3rd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Shopping Sherpa | Tags: , , , , , , , | 7 Comments »

Following the thread on eye-catching color and child’s play, the Shopping Sherpa and I have regressed a bit.  We’ve gotten lost in a little reminiscing, traveling back to the world of paint by numbers, pretend and vividly colored playthings.  I miss my giant blocks, with which I would construct rainbow colored houses for my dolls, and the My Little Pony collection I amassed, complete with baby ponies, water ponies and even a tent that fit on top of my bed with a repeating pattern of ponies prancing in peony-covered fields (jealous?).  Are you remembering with us?  Surely you also had a big green box of crayons and colored pencils.  It was dirty and dusty and wonderful, smudged with many colors and the mixed scent of wood and wax.  How nice it is to go back every once in a while, no?  Well, lucky for us, the Shopping Sherpa found a few childish pretties for our grown-up selves.

    Thanks so much for sharing my colored pencil earrings! It’s neat to see what others do, as I believe there are 3 or 4 others Etsians who create colored pencil jewelry–and we all seem to do something completely different with the material! Love bright colors too! Thanks again :)
