speechless

barbara munsel - finally! i have been waiting for an update and am not disappointed. this alone leaves me speechless.

crying

gummo, by harmony korine.
i admit- it's a film i was never a fan of...but looking back, there are some really beautiful things about it- the last scene being one. i think i like it that much more really just because of the song, "crying," by roy orbison. had he used something else, maybe not so much...

on the contrary

but, jenny holzer is my own hero.

we should all be so lucky

and this is how i want to feel right now. more denise grunstein.

this is how i feel right now

thanks to royal quiet deluxe. photos by denise grunstein. there are other some really amazing ones on that site.

rain or shine

I've mentioned my friend Aimee's line, Gryphon, before, and today the New York Times ran a great photo of one her best sellers (above). See here for the rest of the slideshow. Absolute perfection. Everything about it, down to the lining color...It's so time appropriate for now, when we all need a bit of flair to brighten our days. If you need it now like I do, go here.

Also, let's not forget to mention this- to be referenced in the same breath as Christophe Decarnin, of Balmain, is definitely something to be proud of...

this is what i need right now

learn where to buy it here, and then please invite me over!

blockprint on tea and raspberry-dyed muslin. i'm thinking of printing up some more on fabric and on black walnut. i'm a one trick pony and it's the block that keeps on printing.

thanks to deena at strong kent wythe for teaching me how to carve.

sometimes i think the unthinkable...

i miss los angeles. i was only there for just over a year, and there were so many good and bad things about it. here's one of the good- the view from my home:

there's beauty in sadness

like the mourning ring, sometimes such beauty comes of sadness.
this photo was taken from the southern california fires happening right now.
there is something so pretty in all that darkness, and, of course, so sad at the same time...i hope everyone is ok.

good mourning

this georgian mourning ring is all i'd need to get by.
jet, pearls, and a crystal-covered braid of hair. morbidly exquisite.

lovisa burfitt

love.

if it's true, sign me up

i need a vacation where nothing ever happens. that would be....just heaven.
