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 [...]
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 [...]

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 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, [...]

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 [...]

(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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A quick Magic Windows update from afar, these are actually all Austin related images that I’ve been meaning to show you for awhile.. Don’t worry, the New York edition of Magic Windows is shaping up to be pretty great. Just you wait! A friend of mine from teenage days recently dug up some pictures taken [...]

So, our house caught on fire last night! We were so incredible lucky that we caught it before it spread into the ceiling- I am really feeling so grateful right now to whatever is protecting us. We smelled smoke, and discovered that a fire was building in the wall behind our dryer. The dryer vent [...]
