next door

Cirque Du Soleil Kooza is in downtown St. Paul for a good part of the summer. This is the view out the window of our building. Looking forward to just walking across the street to see the show!

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.
