A little whimsy

I'm still feeling the strain of putting together a two-day piano festival coming up in three weeks. So rather than fill today's post with what undoubtedly would be gibberish, I'll give you something fun.
Here are a couple of things I ran into while looking for the money tree clip I posted earlier. Apparently, there are people out there who are being creative with money--and I don't mean financiers and their bizarre investment creations.
Here's an example of what people can do who look at a dollar and see it for what it really is--a piece of paper.




Or how about these fantastical fish? It's so satisfying about seeing dollar bills tamed and brought into submission to make something beautiful.



Then there's always this idea for a home decor replacement of the piggy bank. It's fun, once you get past cheesy production values.



We've had a lot of ups and downs the past couple of weeks. But the garden has been one thing that definitely lifted our spirits in spite of hard times elsewhere. To see a bigger post on that, check out Mike & Roxie's Vegetable Paradise here.
