I picked up three things on the way home
One of them is not from the store.
Did you guess this one?
I found it in a garbage pile.
It's pretty much blowing my mind right now.

Have you ever seen anything cuter?
Than these two?For serious.
I came across Whitney's blog a while back and was totally smitten by her pictures of her life with Reed (husband) + Tayvee (child) + Zooey (cat). She and Reed visited New York last month and got in touch. For whatever reason I was super nervous to meet them (internet friends—what if they think I am a giant nerd in real life????) . . . but we had a great time. I want to go visit them in Boise!
Yes, BOISE!
YAY INTERNET!!
Fox and Fawn
At the vintage store in my neighborhood I found an amazing summer dress this weekend!
To wit:
Nice crispy cotton. It goes to just below my knees—long and white with a colored yoke and some stripes above the hem.
To wit:
Can you even call it brunch?
If there's no homemade Sno-ball at the end?
(Don't worry I ate that last piece.)
At the park
A lil squirrel took a peanut from my hand! He reached up with his little paws.
Can you see how he is smiling at me?

Baby plants!
Right-hand windowsill = special experimental nursery.
Featuring cuttings from someone's sidewalk garden in LA (illegally transported out of California in my carry-on):
A sprig lifted from a display plant outside a garden store in Brooklyn (soooo bad!):
From a potted plant in front of an apartment building in my neighborhood:
This one is a cutting from a plant I actually paid for:
These little dudes are also from LA:
And last but not least, these fellas, grown from a "piglet" surreptitously removed from a sow-and-piglets plant at an apartment sale:
I love them all so much!
Every morning I inspect them minutely from a distance of one centimeter, grinning with joy and cackling softly to myself.

Do you know what's awesome?
What's awesome is: this chair was irredeemable, but I went back and grabbed the glides!!
I could only get three off, though (Greg even tried)—but it's better than zero . . .
I stuck them on the green Eames chair I found a couple years ago! Now it's almost completely rehabbed, for zero dollars.
AW. YEAH.
(Do you like how my mini foot is sticking into the picture?)

Dinner
I count around twelve different plants in here, including Japanese plum (vinegar), olives and sesame (oil), wheat (cous cous), soybeans (tofu), corn, spinach, carrot, and multiple varieties of baby greens.

Last week
I visited Los Angeles for the first time ever! People, did you know there are places where the weather is nice EVERY DAY, people are not completely stressed out, and it is not ugly at all??!
I wore flip flops, there were palm trees, I ate frozen yoghurt twice (very uncharacteristic!), I visited my friend's awesome live/work studio, I hung out with my pals, I ate SOOO much good food, there were doggies, I went to the beach and to the Getty, and in addition to a coyote, several hummingbirds, and three cottontails, I saw an amazing giant eagle!

Wow, right?
Tonight!
It rained this morning so I left my bike at home and took the bus. Walking home after work, I found a very special, very old item:
Red Devil Supreme Quality High Gloss Enamel.
The Can with the Color on the Top! Apply . . . Fast Dry! Looks New!
You may use it on your roadster. And/or perambulator.
Also:
The exact color of my flesh.

Greg Reynolds!
He has won a sculpture commission for Randall's Island in the East River!
It's gonna look like this:
Seventeen-foot rowboat, yo!

More found stuffffff!
I toted these home in my bike basket on Sunday:
A bunch of Childcraft books from the seventies (they are surprisingly awesome!).
And . . .
A basket. In which I stuck a bunch of crochet stuff.
Handy.
