Flower study, formerly in an album

I wasn't planning anymore posts here (except for when the new site was ready) ... but these water colors by Dutch painter, Jan van Huysum are too beautiful not to share.

6.21

last of SF
. . .


I've never been good with changes, but my 25th birthday is on the horizon and I think it's the perfect time to call it quits for The Snail and The Cyclops / 1385

The particulars haven't been ironed out quite yet, but I'm in the process of creating a new space for myself on the internet. I'll still be selling vintage, and I'll still be taking photos of the old junk I find - it's just time for something different.

I'll be sure to post the formalities, url, etc. here once everything is in place.

Until then - I'll be temporarily re-opening 1385 sometime next week with a mix of things that aren't quite right for the new shop.

Pfeiffer Beach

My last California day trip to Pfeiffer Beach. It was one of the best places I've ever been to, yet it was only a tiny peek at how amazing Big Sur is.... I've basically been thinking about when I can go back since the moment we got there.

Welcomed Distractions

Packing is a truly miserable experience... especially towards the end of it. But, I do appreciate finding all the things I've lost, or just totally forgotten about.. These detachable collars and 20s boudoir sashes are all things I had carefully tucked away in my closet.... A most welcomed distraction from playing moving box Tetris finding just the right spot for every little thing.
