Proustian questions posed by Black Paper's Sykle Gruhnwalk


for you English readers: the one answer highlighted is: "What talent do you wish you had?" "To telepathically fill my fridge" I stand behind that fully! Sometimes I think I believe I have that talent because I keep on checking if something magically appeared in there since I last checked..

Mushroom, Berry and Stella

Mercato Rimini feat. Siren Song

My sister sent me some photos via usgang.ch from the Mercatino Rimini show that unfortunately I couldn't attend this time with Family Affairs as I am still in Brooklyn. It looks like it was a lot of fun!

Just some things that have been making me happy lately...
These amazing brothers made me step in the beautiful store Kea in Brooklyn. They have a beautiful collection of carpets from all over the world, all hand selected. So fascinating; the stories woven into a rug.

sailor stuff

Saw the ocean and old boats yesterday with Garance. We also had the best scone in the world and thrifted a silver sequined ballgown for $5.


disclaimer: I can't sail. I just like to look at old boats and ask the nerdy, educational crew uninformed questions.
