Incredible find on Driggs Avenue!

A discarded collection of an ilk that is becoming obsolete: small books and ephemera published by museums and galleries.









All from New York, from the 1960s to the early 2000s.

Wait till you see what I brought home!

I read it. I did it!

Excellent suggestion, Ben!

P.S. Canadians, are you appreciating the Sam the Record Man reference in the title of this post?

Wow

So beautiful, and it did it all by itself!

Found

In Kingston, by the Hudson River.



Some kind of seed pod? With a crazy Chewbacca face?

Did it come from the river or from the big tree on the beach?



No one seems to know.

Vacation companion

Oh, hi Henry!



Time for walkies?

OK let's go!



Run run run run run run.

Run on the wall!



Jump in the bathtub!



Important investigations:



Sniff sniff sniff sniff pant pant pant . . .



Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Good dog.

Near my office

Miniaturized Pollock paintings for sale!





Not cool.

There should be a rule that only miniature people can purchase these.

Country legs

Scratched by sawgrass and the dog, covered in bug bites and bruises.

Found by Greg

A Richard Tuttle sculpture, just lying on the road.



How could someone be so careless?

Ellenville, New York

"I am every day"?

Darn kids must've been fooling with the letters.

White corn

With a gold tooth!

Vacation

Just so awesome.

Packing

Without four scarves, a baseball hat,



the Talmud, a selection of international literary fiction, and "a deliciously mordant send-up of the publishing world,"



can you even call it a vacation?

I am about to go on vacation

But before I go,



Are you hip to what's happening here??



Buds! It's going to bloom!

Manhattan Avenue dog

It totally gave me the cold shoulder.

Greg

His eyes are like chocklit drops.

Regardez

The perfect ice cream cone.

Not too big.

If this:

Reminds you of this:



You might be working too hard.

Why yes, I am editing a book about Cubist collages!

"Really cheap garbage"

That's Greg's opinion of this tin I found.

EVERY TIME I THINK OF IT I BURST OUT LAUGHING!

Found

The three least desirable books in existence!



That would be these:

This morning

Attached to my foot when I woke up!

?

Monday

Sofa dinner.



Eat your sausarge in comfort.

ANOTHER round cushion?

Yep.

I am addicted to cushion covers—but we already have way too many pillows everywhere, plus I covered the footrest, and we have a blanket I made on the couch. The living room is a bit "busy."

So this one is a present for a friend.

!!?

I got Greg a really nice v-neck.



But he won't wear it!

Store cat

Pat her.



She will stretch out.

Weegee

Crime scene.

Found

A rawsome old chisel!



Needs to be sharpened.



Almost as good as my Bull Driver.

Advice

Bonking your cactus real hard with your forearm . . .



Try not to do that.

Inspiration

Yesterday I saw this work in progress on my favorite blog:



(Note: the yarn is knotted to a crocheted circle like those I used for my desk-chair cushion.)

Then today, these amazing things:



Obviously I need to make a shag rug.

Dear Once Again Nut Butter, Inc.,

I like your organic no-salt peanut butter.



What I don't like is a nasty old raccoon sneaking into my kitchen and making itself a sandwich.



The only scavenger who gets a free sandwich from me is this guy (he's so dapper).

Sweltering

It's 102 degrees outside, and our kitchen air conditioner is in for repairs (thanks landlady).

Yep, we better go for pizza.



Then let's go home and lie on the bed in our underwear.
