no idea where its from originally

plant a rose between thorns
yard sale buy this afternoon

this fella flew in one morning and sat next to grannies jam pot
i am glad it didn't land in it

we have had a visitor this last week
sydney barnard
there's no doubt about it - he is trouble

someone i know bought this old airline container and made a beautiful pencil box out of it
i am jealous because i want one
but proud of how lovely he made it

i traveled back through big sur after the fires
all the favorite spots are untouched
but plenty of black hills and small plumes of smoke still burning

i lost my other blogger half in the carmel mission and we turned up with the same photos

jellies at the monterey aquarium

this is a real panda
he was startled

stylish thai soy milk bottle

the one good thing at the rose bowl
apart from the lovely girls in their belted vintage summer dresses and flat strappy sandals

davids birthday party
a lovely summer night
and great friends
a bit too much delicious food and wine

great bookstore on fairfax
they had a cd of the music from ivor the engine
i would have bought it if i could remember what that music was like but i had a nice nostalgic moment looking at the cover

family bookstore

jo jackson

marcus oakley

turqoise

someone i know bought this 1960 corbusier book at p.c.c. today

if this church was near me i would go

after being delivered to my parents in hand made clothes, i have had a fetish for collecting them
mine had little birds on them
but i particularly like this one, with the faggotting and hand embroidery, not to mention the french seams and the beautiful label
i would like to buy something for myself that was made in france, but even the cute undies i buy in paris aren't made anywhere near there

i had a list of things i wanted at p.c.c
none of which were an apron from the twenties or thirties (?)
but its lovely
