Charming Ruffles

Came across this etsy shop today. Holly Stadler does custom orders on beautiful lace and ruffled caplets, shrugs, and apparel. Her work is stunning.

Kitty Come Home

My favorite friend in the whole world is missing. Billie Holiday is my four year old black cat and she disappeared Friday night. She likes licking my ice cream bowl clean, decapitating small rodents and leaving them on the bathroom floor, playing with sycamore seeds until they explode, walking under my feet, perching on the wood pile, sitting on my laptop when I'm trying to type and going on walks in the woods. I really miss her so much. I keep waiting to hear her scramble up her kitty ramp into our bedroom window. Kitty come home -- we miss you!

Sultana San Francisco

My friend Jeff just sent me a link to Sultana, San Francisco, a vintage shop some friends of his own. They have quite a selection. I particulary love the Hefty Vintage Table Fan. Sales via 1stdibs. Check them out!

The Benevolent Postcard Society

What a lovely August afternoon (I can't believe it's August by the way) I've just joined the Benevolent Postcard Society, a postcard exchange project that lori from automatism has organized. "The Benevolent Postcard Society aims to bring a smile to its members through a one year random exchange of postcards." What a beautiful idea!! She plans to show the postcard in a gallery show and possibly publish the project. Now I have an excuse to by a new mailbox. Don't want my postcards getting wet. (silly worthless mailbox) Check it out and join!! Looks like she has 100 folks signed up so far. Something lovely to look forward to all year long.
