mociun + baggu

photos from Baggu

  As if I wasn't already obsessed with Baggu enough.  I can't live without my Baggus for groceries, laundry, lunch, library books, etc.  Caitlin's prints make them even better.  Here.

at the farm

 

Visited Joe's Grammy in rural Missouri.   At the farm there are farm kitties, all manner of antiques, deer, guns, flowers, sweet family.  A different way of life.

Joe's Grammy will be 100 years old soon.  She's a dear, sweet lady and clearly has a huge soft spot for Joe.  He took time off right before his last semester in college and lived in a cabin on her property, where he mostly secluded himself and wrote.  They became close.  She tried to fatten him up on whole milk and eggs cooked in bacon grease, always worried he was too skinny.  This was right before I met him.

Joe's uncle keeps buying him guns, but I won't let him bring them home.  The gun safe at the farm is getting awfully full.

The farmhouse is full of valuable Meissen ceramics brought back from Germany at the end of WWII, fascinating to see.

Joe's aunt and her sister rent a gallery in town where they sell artwork and beautiful handmade pottery.  They use the back room as a painting studio and have a girls' night with their friends on Friday nights to paint together.  An inspiring bunch of ladies.

mociun x krantz

From a visit to the Mociun studio back in March.  More photos of beautiful Mociun and Krantz necklaces.  Caitlin makes art wearable.  Have you shopped the Mociun summer sale yet?  My favorite, most worn pieces of the whole summer have been this romper and this tank.  Perfect for sweltering weather.  Wish list: this and this.  Cave flowers is one of my favorite prints ever--I have the scarf.
