So yeah, I was in high school in the late 80s, and obsesssedddddd with 10,000 Maniacs. (At least up until “Our Time in Eden.”) Michael’s comment on my last post reminded me of Natalie Merchant & how adorable she was.

A stash of goodies added to the Etsy shop!! Take a peek — all sales while in Vermont will go toward working on my tiny cabin retreat (a post with new photos will come soon – I’m about to run out the door to build!) so shop away with love! Below is a tiny selection, [...]

Quick trip to Davis this weekend, and the first in a series I’ve been meaning to do forever highlighting my amazing lady friends. The luminous and highly talented Miss Kai Smart agreed to touch up / completely renovate some very poor tattoos I had done in 2006. Note to self: never get just brown ink [...]

Maybe you know this about me, and maybe you don’t, but I almost never buy anything new from a shop. Handmade, yes, and vintage/thrifted, of course, but my personal contribution to saving the world lies in my purchase choices. Recently my thrifting mojo was tested, I’ve been looking for sandals forever – now, normally when [...]
