Birthday print sale!
$10 for a print quality digital file from this folder.
$20 for a commissioned print quality digital file.
So, in return for ten dollars, you get one of the images here. For twenty, I take a brand spanking new photo. Either way, I send it as a file large enough to be printed.
For examples of what you might receive for a commissioned print, see here: CLOSED: Digital Print Sale 2007.
*some images may be smaller, as they were taken with an older camera. feel free to check with me for sizing.
hey local folk, only $35
I’m selling my Billy bookcase. It’s been a fine bookcase, always solid, always able to fit in that last paperback or hardcover, but the time has come for me to let it go. out, out into the wild, to where it shall remain loved. As I need it gone. I’m making space. I’m changing my pace. It’s time for this bird to fly bookcase free.
leaving on a jet plane, but no, not really
Tasha sums up my thoughts the recent JetBlue airfare deal perfectly:
So JetBlue has a slightly bizarro deal on right now: The “all-you-can-jet pass,” essentially a $600 pass to fly as often as you want on JetBlue, anywhere they go, for the month of Sept. 8 to October 8. This is a weird deal; it just isn’t how most people fly, with the possible exception of business travelers and salesmen, whom JetBlue would presumably much rather stick with the lucrative business-class bill.
But I’m weirdly tempted. I’m a sucker for the all-you-can-eat buffet, the season pass, the monthly CTA fee instead of the pay-by-the-trip card, the frequent buyer’s club, the all-day unlimited-trips deal, anything where you pay a flat fee and then it’s up to you to make it worth your while. And there’s something different and luxurious and lifestyles-of-the-rich-and-famous about the idea of just being able to hop on a plane whenever and go wherever, as often as I want. Never mind that my vacation time this year is pretty much spoken for, or that JetBlue mostly doesn’t go where I want to go, and the places I DO want to go, I could get to cheaper. I’m betting that with this pass, they’re selling more the idea of freedom, the sense that JetBlue is your private plane, just waiting to whisk you away, as though a trip from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon was a taxi ride between points downtown.
If I didn’t have a job, I think I’d be all over this in a pretty crazy way. Never mind the lack of logic in buying a service that will take me across the country to places I have no particular desire to be. I’d do it just for the travel. Who knows, maybe there’s something fascinating waiting in Newburgh, New York or Sarasota, Florida or Burlington, Vermont that I never would have known about otherwise, because I never would have thought to fly there. Or maybe it’d just be fun to treat an airline like one of those downtown hop-on, hop-off tour busses. I wonder how much more they’d charge for my own flight attendant to tell me about the splendors of Rutland or White Plains as I arrived.

If I had two-hundred dollars to spend on art, this is where it would go. I’ve been following Audrey‘s work for years, (her delicate work regularly graces my otherwise cluttered computer desktop), but this is the first print offered that really captures me. There’s just something about the composition, the lines, the flowering lights, that tugs at my eyes and won’t let go.
Silva’s selling all her really cool stuff. Jump on it!
As some of you may or may not know, my godmother Silva, my mum away from mum, is soon to be moving.
To facilitate this, she’s selling as many of her non-essentials as possible, this includes silver, books, furniture, mirrors, tea things, antiques, oddities, and almost anything shiny and interesting you can imagine. (Sorry everyone, the giant plaster parrot has already moved to my house.) Bonus: 250 books are for sale, $2 for any hardcover and $1 for any softcover
So come one, come all, to Silva’s Super Saturday Sale!
She’s been a constant inspiration in my life and I’ve always been immensely proud to be related to her. What she’s about to do, move across the country to be with the woman she loves, is going to be difficult, and she needs all the help she can get. Even if you come by for five dollars worth of books, you’ll be contributing. Added up, it tips the balance. That, and it gets it out of the house, which counts for more than you might think. The less she has to worry about, the better.
More pictures of what’s for sale in her journal.
time to say goodbye
Tony, brilliant sweetheart that he is, was determined to get me a corset before he left for home back in May. In that entirely endearing way that only he ever managed, his first two tries were not-quite-disasters. The first one was an over-priced off-the-rack from one of those little gothy shops in Gastown, and didn’t fit even a tiny bit. They couldn’t even pretend it could be altered, so with after a bit of genteel kicking and screaming, the shop-girl took it back.
The second one was wicked, a black satin Vollers. Wonderful, delicious, but too tiny, bought in a rush as a store was closing, as we were running out of time, (we only had three days before he was due back in L.A.), not the way to buy anything so unique, permanent or expensive, especially from a store with a No Returns policy.
The third one was the money shot. It fit absolutely fairy-tale perfect. Not only was it 50% on sale, it was everything I’d always wished for, even purple, my hoped for, and black velvet, his.
So here, after it’s lived months carefully rolled in a bag on my bookshelf, is the black satin Voller’s corset. I’ve put it up on eBay for $100 less than he paid for it.
