Not sure why my photos of the card I made aren't loading up to my computer but I'll post as soon as it happens. Incline Village is a very small town so when I went to the post office, I stopped by the thrift store. As I said before the thrift stores here are $$$ but with the population full time residents being so small, they don't get a lot of good stuff. If I see something I think I can flip, I just have to wait for it to go on sale. Everything in the photo came to $7.00. The teapot ($8.00) and candle sticks ($10.00) were 75% off and the pour over cone ($5.00) was 50%. I'm really in search of a vest with deep pockets to hold my cell phone when I'm out hiking. I was surprised there weren't any vests on the racks at all. I think I will make the drive and check out Carson City to see what their thrift stores are like!
Flat Fish Paper Arts was born many years ago when blogging first started. My family did a lot of camping and diving along the California coast. California halibut are huge fish that start out as any normal fish. As they age, one eye will start to move to the other side and the halibut will become flat so it can lay on the bottom of the ocean with both eyes facing up.
I always like the idea that we all start out the same but life experiences slowly changes us. In my case, my creative talents went the way of paper arts. Flatfish are always looking up when they mature and as with any artist, we see inspiration in everything around us - always looking up.

Years ago a local dive shop had a photo of a diver who caught a halibut so big he had to throw it over his jeep to take the picture. Our little spoof with our daughter sitting in her toy jeep with dad's halibut on the hood. 1987
