Helloooooooo everyone. I spent much of this May with a nasty cold, watching hours-long “Backrooms” lore videos and chugging sudafed. If you have not seen “Backrooms” yet, and are insane or temporarily insane by way of cold meds, I really recommend reading up on the lore before you see it.
When I wasn’t sick this month, I was working a lot, on some very very fun projects I cannot wait for the world to see soon!!!!!! Here is what I loved most this May:
I got this amazing mini stumpy wood drawers thing… I don’t even know what to call it. It defies categorization. I got it at a flea market for $40 and haven’t decided what to put in it yet, but it’s very cute and adds a nice unpolished element to the Ikea dresser part of my bedroom.
One of my ceramics experiements— a large wall-mounted tile— split right in half during its glaze firing. I just love how unreliable ceramics is! An adventure every time!!! I lie, through tears. I decided that I would buy a kintsugi kit and give visible mending a try. I don’t think this kit is very traditional but it was easy to do in my kitchen so it’s a 10 from me.
I sold a piece of furniture for $500 on facebook marketplace, so by the transitive property I had a free $500 to spend on anything I want! So I bought the TV Table from Lazy Jamie (which was discounted to around $450 when I purchased) for my TV room. When you sit in the L part of my sofa (the obvious best seat) there previously was nowhere to put your seltzer or ice cream bowl. Now I can set it on this table that nuzzles into the sofa, or set the removable tray next to me. Plus it’s cuuuuuuuuuuuute!
Like everyone else, I watched and enjoyed “Obsession” and “Backrooms” and very much enjoyed them both. And not to get tooooo #womeninfilm about it but, where are the 25 year old girls directing movies? If you are girl who likes movies, I command you: start a youtube channel and start making stupid things with your friends so you get a movie deal. I want to watch cute girl horror movies!
Had my anniversary lunch at my very favorite restaurant in the city/my wedding venue, Frenchette. If you haven’t been to Frenchette, you are missing outttttttt. Best steak frites in the universe!
I spent a lot of time this month in my garden, planting herbs and lettuces and flowers, watering everything, and continuing the process of growing a wildflower meadow. I honestly can’t tell if any of it is going well or going horribly? Results in a few months???
May brought the return of (intermittent, unreliable) sandal weather! The dogs are out, folks. My two main summer shoes are my Cecilies and my Plasticanas.
I’ve been reading “Vigil” by George Saunders in the morning while I have my coffee on the deck, since I have banned my laptop from leaving my office. I’m going 90s mode, everybody. I go to the computer, it does not come with me! Anyway, so far this is very good. I really like his free wheeling prose.
Earlier this month I watched “Under the Skin” which was so weird but I think I really liked it? Scarjo plays an alien bug lady. Set in Scotland. Idek what else to say.
I finally came to terms with the fact that I need my water bottle to fit in my car’s cupholder, so my trusty Nalgene has been demoted. Knowing that my brain cannot handle the task of finding the perfect water bottle online, I simply bought the same one my cousin Jamie has and likes— this Owala bottle. So far I love it. I like that you can use it as a straw or a regular bottle.I wish I bought it in blue, but Target did not have that color and impatience won.
I went to the city the other day to see some friends, and my only goal for the day was to have a really good cookie. I tried to go to Levain but it had a 30 minute line??? Are you guys ok??? Instead I got a delicious black and white somewhere else, and took some Breads Bakery rugelach for the train ride home.
I bought a new cotton button down from one of my favorite vintage stores upstate and customized it by sewing on an applique star from some vintage fabric I had in my stash. Very inspired by one of my favorite brands, Story Mfg.
Here’s what I’m thinking about for June:
Wanting some new activewear, now that yoga classes are heating up. Loving these shorts (and everything else) from H-O-R-S-E
100% going to re-up on my favorite everyday sunscreen, from Sofie Pavitt Face, the only brand I really trust to not fuck up my sensitive skin
I’m absolutely lusting after this Soft Services body lotion. I’ve heard incredible things about the brand and need to have a good lotion on hand for skin season.
Need a nice tablecloth for all the eating outside I’m going to be doing. Thinking about this one from Hawkins
Thx for reading and hope you all have a fabulous June. Summer!!!!!
