Eye Candy for Dana

I Cyber stalk others blogs and photo's most days. I love to see other's work and lovely's.
I ran across this Flicker Photo Stream today and I could look at these photo's all day long.

*These are not mine. It is just eye candy!

I found this picture in another person's blog. I don't think she did it, but was posting it for the same reason I want to post it. It is creative. Not practical, but adorable.

The Dana of years past feels an appreciation for this artwork. I was raised by hippies and would not be giving credit due to my upbringing if I did not say that I LOVE IT!

Think that Pete's Chevy S10 Pick up would look cute like this?
