Sarabande Africaine: Angélique Kidjo & Yo-Yo Ma. Pritzger Pavilion Chicago.
Was not expecting the Talking Heads! Excellent show.
Yo-Yo Ma is a spry one! 😂 You can tell when performers are actually having fun together.

Tony Paul Occasional Tables for Thinline –1960s. I bought them at a flea a few months ago and finally got around to cleaning them, touching up the paint and reassembling. Adjustable height…one salmon, one cream and one robin’s egg blue.

Found a set of Yamazaki Gone Fishin’ flatware the other day at a thrift. If I buy another two soup spoons online, I’ll have enough for ten settings. Good stuff. 18-8 stainless steel.
Made in Japan.

Finally! The weather actually sucks a lot less than it has for the past month. Cool, but tolerable. Breakfast in the garden. Fresh eggs from my niece who owns about two billion chickens.

Picked up this interesting #woodsculpture yesterday. Much of it appears to have been charred using the Japanese technique of #ShouSugiBan. Its heavy as hell and well preserved. Really interesting shape, color and detail.

Finally!!! Things are growing. Spring has sucked here. It has been cold, windy and stormy. Lots of trees down!
But, the storms are behind us for the moment and it looks like we are going from the 40’s to the 80’s as usual, so things will happen fast.

1962 Vintage Blenko Glass #Decanter Bottle #Model6225l by #WayneHusted. Found a few days ago WITH THE STOPPER! Excellent.
The shape and textured are relatively rare according to a few #Blenko experts online.

Found a #TibetanSingingBowl the other day. Cool sound. Today we had a massive storm, trees down everywhere. No power for the last 7 hours.
So what better time to light up some candles, grab a glass of wine, and ring the bowl to soothe nerves from today’s storm.

Found this great serigraph by Victor Pasmore yesterday at a thrift store a mile from my house. Unbelievable. Leading UK abstract artist in the 40’s and 50’s.

Best little meal in a town full of wanna-be restaurants. Fire-roasted scallops in a butter sauce with a warm French loaf for sopping up all the goodness!
