I’ve been thinking so much about medicine wheels lately, my hands are itching to make one, to head to the beach for driftwood & magic. One of my favorite things found in Vermont over the holidays is this handmade pouch, hand embroidered probably 100 years ago with this medicine wheel. It tingles with magic when [...]

I’ve been listening to the “Hair” soundtrack incessantly for the last week, it’s just so uplifting and danceable and captures the late 60s  wildness in such a fun, campy way. I keep thinking about the Cockettes (when am I not?)  I think being in SF made us all obsessed with them, wishing for cheap Victorians [...]

I’m so behind! I have one million things to write about, but I’m also knee deep in taxes, business projects, art projects, and general hermitude. Anyone reading this in the Bay Area – come have tea with me. I need interaction! However, onward! Or rather, backward!! New Year’s Eve was spent with some of my [...]

This book was recently scanned and posted at the LJ community “found objects” – so I made it into a PDF for ease of reading!! It’s Mel Juffe & Edward Gorey, from 1965.

After a week and a half away (Vermont & Point Reyes,) my apartment was an absolute disaster and I was having trouble motivating to clean it. I’d start, become distracted, or just realize it was a lot to do and start something else! Finally, last night I decided to just start as fast as I [...]

Every year for the past decade, I’ve made wishes on my birthday for the next year. I wasn’t going to do it this year, but I started thinking about goals and dreams, (I typed that as ghouls and gaols before getting it right – a sign?!) & I have a lot I would like to [...]
