It’s that time again, where the constant trips to the thrifts have rendered me incapable of getting dressed. Every morning I stand in the door to the closet and feel like no one piece of clothing matches another, the drawers overflow & I don’t have the energy to dig through them, and it’s 7:30am anyway, [...]

The one everyone knows! The secret center of the cosmic spiderweb hum hum hum!! Mention Austin in a crowd of strangers, and surely everyone will say “Austin? Do you know Angel?” & of course…they do. Perhaps I shouldn’t speak so loudly, I’m sure there’s meaning to her magical web-pulling ways, and we’ll all be drawn [...]

Lifelong obsession with the Ziegfeld Follies, obviously. (My BA focus was costume design!) I just came across this photo site with so much inspiration & hundreds of photos! I want to make magical costumes again!!!! Inspire! Hide in my little tower and sew sew sew sew! How can magic like this not still exist? How [...]

A mindblowing escape with elly, into the hot wind blistering sun of northern California. BLISS. Winding roads, lakes, heat that makes your shoulders melt and all the tension just pour through them & into the dusty dry earth, magic adventures, and so much clarity and conversation and goodness. Pixy-led at every turn, which continued the entire [...]

This is Nicole and her mama when she was wee. I loved this photo when she posted it. Maybe I’m feeling sentimental lately, but I’ve decided to do a series focusing on some amazing ladies whom I know. The first in the series is Nicole, who just sent me an amazing parcel filled with so many [...]

I’m heading back to California today after 3 weeks in Vermont!! It’s been a whirlwind and there are one million projects and activities I didn’t get around to do – but my main goal was to work on my little cabin in the woods. I have a lot of ideas for the land I have [...]

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. Picture this: my high school graduation, I’m in a lilac floral grunge dress, lilac dr martens, [...]

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, [...]

I’ve mentioned this before, when I go thrifting I notice that unconsciously I come out with color schemes and combinations – one day I’ll pick up all green and gold objects, the next all lilac and grey. Inspired by the 100 Layer Cake blog moodboards, I’ve decided to start a series of treasure boards whenever [...]

Old barn doors. Cream eyelet and Swiss champagne satin batiste. Mason jars of roses & forget-me-nots. Streamers of bright ribbon clutched by children. Tiny violinists under apple trees. Punched tin can lanterns. Sweet ancient songs sung by schoolchildren. Dancing wildly to a bluegrass band. Sugary white cakes. A tiny wedding night cottage. Tealights floating in [...]
