Drinking: English Breakfast Tea
Listening to: Edie Brickell – Rush Around
“Must have heard the same song twenty times.
Mama sang and put the make up on her eyes.
We were getting ready to go.
School and the work whistle blow.
Everybody had to rush, rush, rush around.
Rush, rush, rush around.
I remember thinking this just can’t be right.
Got to be a better way to live your life.
Slow like a soft Southern breeze.
Nobody take time to breathe.
Everybody had to rush, rush, rush around.
Rush, rush, rush around.”
This Week’s Obsessions:
-library ladders and the shelves that they sail past. This has been an obsession since I went to the original Chapter Two Books on East Bay Street in Charleston. The store isn’t there any more, but my dream survives.
-How to make my house have more natural light. If only the roof could roll back like a garage door.
-Studios that face the garden with open doors looking out like this one where Sidsel works.
-Card catalogues…still and forever. What ever would I put in those drawers? I have no idea, but I still dream of them.
-Sandy paths & porches.
-Boden USA’s spring clothes for me and Tea children’s clothes for my girl.
-Temple Grandin’s recent TED talk and her comments about how you have to show kids interesting stuff.
-The sweet and lovely art of Ida Pearle.
-These images of fog, boats and rocking chairs at a wedding from Our Labor of Love.
