i was picking out an isle and then a tomb for you

did some collages inspired by a recent favorite movie ("the haunting of hill house") and also lately richly colored bouquets make little fireworks of joy behind my eyes. all images' rough-round-thy-edges look is fully on-purpose.

i made this with great people, and we laughed so much. wish they could all be 10 minutes long.

our adventurous, dirty-kneed, daydreamy childhood selves just had their dreams come true realizing the existence of this.

purchase v purchase

i miss thrifting. making a list of where to go around here but it seems like c.t. and m.a. will never be topped. (and don't get me wrong, chicago, you won't either. you won't either.)

these (pictured) are some things on their way. let's hope. one old/one new.

ny [city] is secondhand stupid. overpriced and for stuff that's been found and re-found for years and years. so many people in and out, so much turnover. on craigslist, someone says, this is a brand new couch but i can't fit it in my door. here it is for so much less. everyone's always moving, happens all the time.

or, that modern desk in a vintage store was purchased four years ago by someone hip and four years before that by someone with less money, and a few years before that it was already in its sixth or sixteenth home. feels un-special.

i still like: oh this one came from an estate sale, or my aunt, or i don't know but it's 35 dollars, or dig dig dig dig dig till you find something.

but luckily lately i have been directed to some better hidden gems. and hopefully i'll see daylight soon for long enough to go get my hands on some things, or at least consider it.
