Knitta, Please!

I was driving around in Houston today--kinda having one of those days when I just feel nervous--then-when I was sitting at a stoplight, I saw a light pole in a sweater!
I 've actually seen this before-tho it's been a while. It's a street artist group called- Knitta, Please!
They "tag" things like door handles, lamp posts and other random things. I've seen pics of them having knits all over the world-

Here they are in Houston!

Pretty sure these are in New York

Paris!

They've put up knits everywhere from The Great Wall of China to Vermont!

I don't know why, but street art is incredibly comforting to me. It's like a little hug!
Just like a cupcake!(I didn't make these cuties-just wish I did!)
The whole idea of street art has been on my mind for the last couple of days since Mariah - at Constantly Risking Absurdity- tagged me in a post about a 'Penny Lane' store she saw on a recent trip to Italy.

I went to Italy on a school trip in 11th grade and I remember seeing street art there. It was in Venice- There were little pictures of eyes on the steps! Here's the pic I took!(The pics are all pics of pics since I had no digital camera way back when-so low quality:)

Pretty!AND--for my writer friends- Here's my pic of a statue of Juliet in Verona!
Sorry u can't see her features :(

Ur supposed to touch her...chest...for good luck...yeah...I did it!
The wall going in to see her is COVERED in the names of lovers and couples. So sweet!

AND-Here's Dante Alighieri's actual home in Florence where he wrote 'The Divine Comedy'!

This last pic is just for Mariah!
GREEN DOOR! :)
The street art made me feel so good-I'm still feeling the effects! I think tiny links like that in ur life can be reassuring much like when you eat a certain food that reminds you of your childhood.
What is comforting to you in life?! I'd love to know!!
