Early Birthday!


Bought myself an early birthday present!
I've purchased prints from Tugboat Printshop before and they never cease to amaze me.
The craftsmanship is impeccable and I really enjoy their color choices.
P.S. They took better photos of this print.

New Project

Found this lovely mid-century pair of Herman Miller shell chairs on Craig's list. They were a great deal, but the catch is that the original fiberglass was covered up in spray paint!! Johnny seems pretty confident that he can restore them to their original, buttercream fiberglass. We'll post before and after shots after all the work. Have a lovely week.

summer cleanse

Trying out a four-day summer cleansing fast derived from the Seneca Indian tradition. They believed in fasting as a means of connecting mind, body, and spirit with all of nature. Day one is all the fruit you can eat, and it's too pretty not to photograph.
