My New Favourite Brooch project

Zoe Brand

I love a good brooch project, especially when it evolves over time via a blog.
Zoe Brand's 365 Broochs does just that one day at a time.
Check it out here.
She has even invited comments on the project. I cannot wait to see where she goes.

It doesn't seem to mater which continent I am on. There is an old asylum looming large.

Home Is Where Your Vinyl Is

Or is it the workbench?

I always get that one mixed up.
Both of mine are currently in different hemispheres explaining the dichotomy that is my head.

Where ever you are, you should treat yourself to a vinyl copy of “Dark was the Night” an Red Hot Benefit Compilation on the 4AD label. Side 2 of 6 is just divine and is keeping me from missing that old workbench too much.
Thanks to the sweet sounds of The National, Yeasayer, My Brightest Diamond, Kronos Quartet, Antony + Bryce Dessner, Justin Vernon + Aaron Dessner

Mmmmm

The other treat we picked up recently was Michah P. Hinson off of the Folk Off compilation. You can see what I mean about that Yard of Blonde Girls via YouTube.
