Flea markets and faces from long ago.

Today I went to a flea market with my friend Becka. The weather was lovely and I wore my summer hat and a white skirt against my equally white, freckled legs.

I found a few things that got to follow me home in my new tote from Fieldguided.
Bought lots of old necklaces with beautiful glass and stone beads that I will reuse in my jewelry.
Then I found a nice black 80's tie blouse that looked really great on me.
But the best find is probably the tiny photo locket with a portrait of a beautiful women inside. I'm so fascinated by photographs of people who lived a long time ago. No one remenbers them anymore, it's like they never existed. But this lady is now living in my window and maybe I will take her with me in a chain around my neck..

She has such a great face! Sometimes I think I can see a lovely smirk on her lips and sometimes there's a sadness in her eyes. Almost like Mona Lisa.
I think I would have liked this woman if I had lived when she did.
Sometimes it strucks me that there are so many people that have lived there lives before us. It's quite a overwhelming yet amazing feeling.  This lady now lives a new life with me.
So she'll never be completely forgotten.
