the yard's looking pretty fab right now. the creeping phlox is rocking out, the allium and clematis are purple gorgeousness, and the grass is doing surprisingly well :-)

i love the way the neighborhood antiques store has been artfully setting up their finds lately. so much nicer when things are arranged in these little scenarios. i wanted to buy stuff!!!

i just don't get it. just about every day we go out i see someone has set out a pair of old/unwanted shoes on their sidewalk looking for a taker. now i've put plenty of unwanted items out on our sidewalk instead of trashing them with the hopes that someone else can use it...and there's always a taker. but for shoes? 
i can't even imagine why there's 3 shoes here.

this past weekend was the Gowanus Open Studios event where a ton of artists right here in the neighborhood a few blocks away (surrounding the gowanus canal) open up their studios for nosey people like ourselves. its so much fun to see some amazing art (and not so amazing) right in the studio where it is created.

omg...i absolutely love these! wish we could get one for our giant white wall in our living room.

a stuffed porcupine...not art...just a studio mascot i guess

when do you ever get to take your pic with the artist...and friends? cool!

5000 wild turkey feathers....
