Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Unfortunately, I have to admit that I don't quite have a complete idea for tonight's post. I ended up spending a good portion of the day in the kitchen cooking or just sitting around chilling with my family, so this is a bit of an after thought. While I was looking through my photos to find a post for tonight, I stumbled across this find from Lawrenceville. Maybe it's just because I was in a bit of a "Susie Homemaker" mode with my cooking but this sticker struck me as an appropriate image for tonight. I like how realistic it feels and its subdued coloring, although that could just be a result of the normal wear and tear of being outside. Its style gives me that vibe of the late 40s/50s housewife, something that feels mildly reminiscent of Norman Rockwell or Edward Hopper. I can't quite pinpoint why it reminds me of Rockwell or Hopper though, it might just be the combination of her hairstyle and the fact that she's leaning forward with a plate. Even though I get that homemaker vibe from the sticker, I honestly have no idea what she's actually doing. If you look closely at the image the woman is holding a plate of something red, so it could be tomato sauce, paint, or even blood if you feel like going dark. Her other hand appears to be covered in the red from the plate and is putting it on the counter. There might be dough or something similar in front of her but that seems like an odd way of transferring things. However other than cooking, I really have no other ideas as what this sticker could be illustrating. Hmm, that's all I've really got tonight so I'll just keep it short and sweet. Good night folks and I hope you had a pleasant holiday.
