Magic Windows #24

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

Post photoshoot glitter & grime – from a beautiful adventure with the marvelous Darla Teagarden. The Tiger’s Wife, by Téa Obreht – I’m almost finished with it. It’s so good it makes me kind of sick. Ramona, my love – won’t you be mine? I want this, I want this, I want this – but [...]

Sylphide Treasures – Gypsy Honeymoon II.

Monday, December 13, 2010

This flock of blue morpho butterflies seems to be exploring… Gypsy Honeymoon is one of the special spots on my list of pilgrimages whilst visiting San Francisco. I met the ravishing owner, Gabrielle Ekedal the first time my grandfather and I dropped in, and we instantly felt a deep kinship. She is a very magical [...]

Magic Windows #13

Tuesday, May 18, 2010

These red shoes are so silly. I fell over putting them on the other night. Falling down is so funny — I think it’s good to do every once in a while. It always reminds me of being a child — up one minute and down the next. These are cheap, pleathery heels that I’ve [...]

Magic Windows #12

Tuesday, April 20, 2010

Hooray, it’s Magic Windows time! It’s been the most gorgeous, luscious spring here – the last few days have been stormy and sullen (in a really enticing way!) Normally, I’m not a fan of gray and gloomy weather, but the rain has made it okay for me to stay in and write during the day [...]

Texas Hexmas

Saturday, December 26, 2009

I get more and more shameless every year in my open adoration of this holiday. Yes, the commercialization and wasteful glut disgust me – but it means so much more to me than that. Even in Texas, (where we can often be found in short-sleeves around this time of year) I can completely grasp the [...]

Magic Windows #8

Wednesday, December 23, 2009

Magic Windows are portals into the strange and beautiful world I inhabit, and the marvelous people, places and things come across in my day to day – all captured with the aid of my handy magic celephone (it’s an iPhone). I often take pictures of things I see while I’m at work at Uncommon Objects, [...]

Magic Windows #7

Friday, December 11, 2009

It’s high time for a Magic Windows update, wouldn’t you say? As always, all photos were taken with my magic telephone camera (which explains the not-so-hot quality, eh?) It sure is handy, though! All the photos were taken at Uncommon Objects, and many of the items pictured are available for purchase. Except, of course, the [...]

Huexoloti Honey

Thursday, November 26, 2009

(Photo by Red-Star) Turkeys are such strange birds. Ugly-beautiful, and regal-ridiculous. Have you ever seen one flying wild? It’s like a giant feathered cannonball shot through the woods. Hilarious and shocking. We saw wild turkeys in Osyka Springs, Mississippi when we used to go camping there. They are huge! I feel bad about it, but [...]

Magic Windows #6

Wednesday, November 4, 2009

I haven’t really accepted in my heart that another Halloween is over. In fact, I propose that we extend Halloween into November, and quite possibly further – far into Hexmas territory, eh? It’d be fine by me. I’ve got a stack of horror movies, and enough candy to feed a miniature army. This week’s installment [...]

Magic Windows #5

Saturday, October 24, 2009

Creepy cute lion babies, you hypnotize me. I cannot look away. You have me under your power. I will now paint everything I own gold! We had this giant preserved Alligator Gar specimen in the window at Uncommon Objects for a little while, before it was snapped up. Wish I’d gotten a better picture of [...]
