kindred spirit: do you ever read something and think, that is exactly what i was thinking? thank you for saying and seeing beautiful things
My guitars...not only pretty but functional :) They're special because they are resonator guitars, and are designed by a local luthier who wants to keep the old style of resonators alive. They are not worth a lot of money (he's not famous...yet) but that hardly matters to me. I'd choose his guitars over more expensive 'collectable' resonators because I like him and his guitars sound and look better to me. I don't even have to be playing them, I like just looking at them; each is beautiful and unique.
I have a beautiful print of George Washington kneeling in prayer beside his horse. I love looking at it.
I own several functional items that belonged to my grandparents..dishes, furniture, etc. I love being able to use things like that. I'm very big into sentimental value as opposed to antique value. I love antiques...but even MORE if I know to whom they belonged!
I think my favorite thing, though, is a photograph of my grandparents. It's circa 1948 or so and they're sitting on their porch step. They're not dressed fancy or posing seriously. They both just look happy to be there!
Thank you, Swoon.
Whirligig, the best thing about those guitars is, as you put it, they're functional. Musical instruments are wonderful--especially in the right hands. They're art used to make more art!
Kay, those are the best photos--the ones where the people look happy just to be there. I'm sure it's beautiful!
