Fully support this #WeAintBuyingIt holiday boycott in favor of the small and the local! One of my fave small makers is #FrostRiver in Duluth, MN. They produce waxed canvas and leather duffels, backpacks, tote bags, messenger bags, etc. Super sturdy, gorgeous, and repairable!

Front yard… northern Minnesota after the clouds cleared away. This is visible through the phone camera, not the naked eye in Duluth. With just ye old eyeball, could only see areas with shades of white and pink, with my night vision being destroyed by intermittent headlights. #northernlights

Traveling for work I used to get sick ALL the time. Now, rarely. I love flying with my #envomask!!! I keep paper masks in the car/purse for shopping and transit too. Seriously, it’s amazing how much common respiratory infections you can avoid.

All manner of various farmers market zucchini in a giant glass bowl, grated and ready to become a Parmesan, rice, onion gratin!!!!
I take such solace in the beauty of ingredients locally grown in our little market, and crafting meals with them.

Our fave Edna’s black bean and corn soup, this time though, we made her fabu jammy tomato sauce with fresh Roma’s from the farmer’s market. INSANELY good. @ranchogordo.bsky.social
(Also, I take any and all opportunities to make crema, which I dip into with a small spoon frequently—crema tax!)

#Stunday. This was a fashion show held by a vintage shop on SE Clinton in Portland in 2012. This is maybe the best photo of a person I have ever taken—she has the jawline of Faye Dunaway, porcelain skin, and fabulous makeup. Add the vintage clothes and it’s pure glamour with a superior expression!
