just when i was trying to be a monk





things i think i need,
part one






i'd live at the desk.

spin my entire front room
around the cloth (for some
reason, the color gold- in
textiles- looks new and fresh
and beyond magnificent to me
these days. who knows why?).

and the display case. i would
open a store just to use that
display case. honestly. happily.










all:
brilliant
san francisco (of course)






pressing obligations







this is on joy's website, too.
i don't know what i'm more
fascinated by- the mannequin
or the jacket. if pressed, i'd
go: jacket. please. here (+ here)

four on the floor


i'd really like to have taken
these sweet ones home, but
i didn't. they are mcguire,
there is nothing not to love,
and they would look swell
on our covered patio. really.

via
you might want to go get them.

(they are in palo alto, but only 'til
the end of the month. so, today?)














mcguire
rawhide & rattan
four lovely chairs

goethizzone




during the mad hot dash through
the goethe haus in frankfurt (last
july) i snapped these two works
of art- quickly- and each time i
happen by them (i believe they
are both by goethe, although i
didn't take notes; i'll try to do
better next time) i can't help
but think they are awfully
ardizzone-ish. or was our
beloved edward a. sort of
goethe-ish? either way, i do
love stopping by- visiting the
photos- and remembering that
sweltery day in a v. quiet house.

nothing like a blast of heat to keep
the other tourists at bay. a true delight.
