Found on the street

This amazing Eames chair!

I cleaned it up and was totally going to sell it. But then I put this cushion in it . . . and it looks so good!

Now I have to keep it.

Eggs

Ideally, for every meal.

I might need a new blog just for eggs pictures?

Fake out

 

Not. Cool.

Saturday

I went around on my bike gathering items.

From the junk room of a Lutheran Church:

Life of Johnson! Set in two columns.

With a surprise:

One awesome dollar.

Also one dollar:

"Mom" jeans.

This book (a first edition), also a dollar:

Best.

Then I picked up some coffee, so Sunday morning wouldn't be sad.

And last but not least, a stop at the local artisanal butcher:

That is correct, six slices of bacon for $6.47.

And the best thing, not purchased but pilfered:

It was on a spider plant at the butcher shop...

NEWS ALERT

THERE IS A KITTEN IN THE CORNER STORE.

Yes, you can spy on it.

AND enhance the spy images.

Quick Shines

Use it on a white shag rug, if possible.

Animals

Cat:

Completely indifferent to our approach.

Also:

Mauled velvet wolf painting.

The coolest thing

Greg and I were walking home from his studio last week, through a pretty deserted area of Brooklyn. As we looked ahead, we saw an enormous train engine slowly pull into the road, followed by a row of freight cars.

The train stopped, blocking traffic. Then, after lots of clanking, the engine came back across the road by itself! So big and powerful.



The guy hopped on so fast, it was kind of amazing.

The engine manoeuvered behind the cars...

Then pushed them the rest of the way across the road.

It was surreal and awesome.

I dared Greg to wave at the engineer, but he would not.

Confused cactus

Thinks it's Christmas.

Impulse buy

At the Asian grocery store.

Ninja sticker!

Cats of Bushwick

Just chillin'. On office chairs in the yard.

Thank you Bert, cat reporter, for this important photoessay.

Landlady springtime

Welcome.

Here is a tweety bird:

I really like this guy:

He's like, I GOT YOU A PLANT!

Upstairs:

Grotto.

And in the back...

B. Kitty!

Looks like you got some eggs, B. Kitty.

He doesn't say much.

Easter eggs!

Natural colors.

Greg made them into this:

Excellent work, Greg.
