Uesa Goods Vintage

Today I went thrift store shopping with my Best Friend. We took the bus up Georgia Ave and then hit one on 14th and Spring. Later I was reminded of a lady I had met once with Philippa Hughes. Running around one day, she asked if I didn't mind her making a quick stop. That stop was into an amazing little house full of some of the most amazing vintage clothes I have ever seen. Dresses, hats. coats...a dream. Here are a few of my favorites.....

FOTOWEEK

Julian, one of the Albus Cavus interns from School Without Walls and his friend Malcolm, assisted me in installing my piece for the show at Honfleur Gallery-FOTOWEEK DC.

NC Botanical Gardens

Before we left Chapel Hill, we stopped at the North Carolina Botanical Gardens.

Their carnivorous plant collection is known as one of the best in the Southeast. Numerous species of pitcher plants, sundews, and butterworts are found in the southeastern United States as are Venus' flytraps.

Every fall the display gardens at the North Carolina Botanical Garden sprout a crop of unique creations by North Carolina artists. A group of one-of-a kind sculptures placed amid the native wildflowers and shrubs delight garden visitors for two months.

Fun in NC

Peter hangs his DROPS in Chapel Hill.

And I get to tour local art! My FAVORITE part was stumbling apon Mike Roig's studio and sculpture garden called Heartworks Studio.

I've got a good feeling about this...

Chapel Hill, NC

The Carolina Inn is a beautiful and well-known icon on the UNC campus in downtown Chapel Hill that architecturally represents both the colonial and antebellum South. The 1924 design incorporates late 18th century elements from George Washington's Mount Vernon.
Now listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a member of the prestigious National Trust's Historic Hotels of America, The Carolina Inn offers an atmosphere of elegance and the spirit of tradition. Furnished with antiques, North Carolina made furniture, interesting artwork and historical images, this hotel on the UNC campus has offered guests the finest lodging, fine dining, and excellent hospitality for more than eight decades.

I can't wait to make my own bow out of towles in my bathroom at home! It's made out of two wash clothes, one is folded four times into a skinny rectangular band and the other is folded like an acordion shape. Wrap the band around the acordion, and tuck behind tuck towles already hanging. Super Cute!

Joan Baez

Tonight I get to go see one of my all time favorites, Joan Baez. I used to have this poster in my closet in High School. Note, I went to HS on a military base and my father was in the Army...but he was also the one that introduced me to folk music.

Once I saw her sing in an old castle in Germany, tonight at the Strathmore! Can't wait!
