Hunt and Gather


If Mary McDonald's Murano ashtrays as bead storage struck your fancy you can find an instant collection here in town at Retro Inferno.

I left them all for you as I do not need one more thing to pack.

Or two or four.

Though I was mighty tempted.

  1. My Murano bowls are still packed, they're some of the things I'm most looking forward to seeing again. Some day.

  2. Right back at you :) Appreciate the shout out, as always.

    And I think we all feel as if we're packing things up, anticipating a new chapter, right along with the Blandings.

  3. David - you are making such great progress - sooner than you think, I bet.

    Court - You might be better off on that side of the screen for the next couple of weeks. Seems I am a little bit grouchy in real life.

  4. These are so gorgeous! I feel your pain - moving is definitely no small effort. After completing a move last year and vowing to never do it again, I'm consciously trying to avert purchasing things for the new home, even though the space is far more vast than before, and instead, focus on making use of everything that I already have. Celebrating the beauty of everything, no matter how humble. Still, my eye wanders...

Thank you for taking the time to leave a message. I am quite willing to publish remarks that criticize me, but will likely delete disparaging remarks targeted at someone else.
