Images from a thrifted book about bones. Also related, there was an interesting article on the new york times website this morning about the skeleton of Ned Kelly. He was an outlaw in the 1800's who built his own suit of armor for a shoot out with the police. I had never heard of him, apparently there is a movie about him starring Mick Jagger and a song about him by Johnny Cash.

HOME ON WHEELS

I read about this website on jezebel today, it's endlessly entertaining. vintage short newsreels of all sorts, I typed in "poodle" and got these.

New items in the shop today. I LOVE the long dress at the top, its cotton and from the 1970s, it can fit a whole range of sizes due to the loose fit. Anyways, there was a hurricane that just happened this past week, I heard they were shutting down the subways in New York in preparation for it so I went to CT for the weekend. Then I got stuck there because the metro north train tracks were flooded. All the basements were flooded, a frog jumped in through the window of my brother's basement and it was hopping around in the water. My sister-in-law Jenny was swinging a broom at it so to help I googled what to do when a frog gets into your house. I read that frogs go to the bathroom a lot and that their excrement looks just like rat poop. When I relayed that information to her from the top of the stairs it caused her to freak out even more. I saw lots of downed trees, some even crushing houses. I went to a thrift store where the power was out and they were taking cash only. It was weird to shop in the dark. 


So now I am in Brooklyn and it's back to normal. I just got back from taking Jason for a walk, when I entered my building I paused at a strange object on the floor right inside the doorway. It took me a moment to realize it was three quarters of a charred hot dog that someone must have stepped on crushing it into the rug. My building never ceases to gross me out, every day there is something new. Someday I will live somewhere nice. Someday! 

I just listed these 1970s platforms in the shop, aren't they the coolest? The platform is 4 1/2" tall. 

All new in the shop today! I am trying to list more Fall items lately, I have been gravitating towards an early eighties new england vibe. Navy blue, tan, plaid, basically things that look like they could be LL Bean. Besides that last night I had dinner at Josh and Joya's apartment in Park Slope, Joya is an amazing cook. She cooked vegan chorizo sausage from scratch, polenta, and broccoli rabe. Then they made chocolate peanut butter ice cream with their ice cream maker. It blew my mind! I should make more of an effort to cook I've realized, it was really inspiring. They also lent me book one of the Game of Thrones series which I started reading on the train. I am very lucky to have such rad friends.

Some new shoes and bags in the shop tonight. How weird is it that there was an earthquake here today? I didn't feel it though, I was on a train and it wasn't any more shaky than usual. 

Some recently listed items in the shop! In other news yesterday was my birthday, it was super fun. I got a manicure, had vietnamese food with my friend Josh and then had drinks with Valerie and Bree. We went to a place called Nights and Weekends and I loved it, I had a drink that was so good, it was made from oronoco rum, passionfruit puree, cocchi americano, lime and velvet falernum. I didn't really know what half the ingredients were but it was delicious.
