Taxidermy-chic

The other day I came into my room, and I had left my vintage lamp on for several hours.  It had consequently burned a hole in itself... now I'm going to have to think of a creative way to solve this, I'm thinking a calico patch might do the trick (as long as it doesn't incinerate).  My eskimo black fur slippers have been helping me survive the winter, along with my taxidermy-chic mink fur stole and my flannel 70s shawl (that makes me look like a human blanket).  I feel like an Appalachian cabin-dweller come weird, reclusive cat-lady, but I kind of like it.

Accidentally annihilated lamp


Birds lined up on the roof of my house (seen through the skylight).

Weird cat-lady shirt found in the thrift store (still don't know why I didn't buy it, probably because it was ridiculously XXXL).

i stumbled upon buried treasure

i love the salvation army. Rarely, though, do i actually find exactly what i'm looking for there. Instead i generally find a million other somethings that i buy anyways that i didn't know i needed but must have once i see them. Which is why my room is currently a museum of castaway oddities i've collected over the past few years.

The southwest has always been a fascination of mine and lately i've been coveting some sort of really cheesy American Indian themed t-shirt, you know... complete with moons, coyotes, dreamcatchers, and the like. Well, the other day i stumbled upon someone's donated collection of them at the thrift store and ended up getting 9 of them...for a total of $9. Amazing.











This lady was on some program about flea market shoppers on public TV and i had to capture the fact that she's wearing a pretty sick t-shirt (in keeping with the theme)




boners everywhere!
