Pottery Barn is going against the grain and just increasing prices for the holidays.
A screenshot from a website showing a purple box with the numbers $609 with a strike through it, and the new rice of $1,599 shown underneath next to the words "at Pottery Barn" The numbers and letters are white.

This bathtub makes me think of underpants.

Just me?

It's probably just me.

Such a clever idea.

Screenshot. Text reads “please visit our newest museum exhibit - the museum of forgotten water bottles - located in our children’s department. No museum pass necessary” and there are photos of a glass cabinet filled with kids water bottles labelled with museum-style cards.

This morning I am wearing BPAL’s Vultures on a tree.

Description: Gurjum balsam, olibanum, blush sandalwood, linden blossom, mallow, mauve labdanum, tonka absolute, woodsy musk, purple dates, and dusty dragon’s blood resin.

Label artwork:
Image shows an artwork (paint?) showing 7 vultures sitting in the bare branches of a gnarly tree. The tree looks to be on the edge of a craggy mountain. The sun is setting and there is an orange glow on the horizon. There are ominous-looking clouds in the sky.

I found a bloom similar in colour to this last week and had to take a photo 🙂

We’re settling into the new house with the help of Paul Simon.

I’m proud to say that the inspiration to put the record on came from 7 who was singing a Paul Simon song this morning.

I’ve got a cup of coffee, 7 has Lego. Life is good.

Photograph shows a record player sitting on a dark brown walnut record player unit. There is a record on the turntable and the sleeve is standing up on the receiver. The sleeve is for Graceland by Paul Simon. A stack of records sit in the cabinet under the turntable and a speaker. A set of three Matisse books are also on the bottom shelf of the cabinet. There are paint swatches stuck to the wall in various shades of pink and coral.

Don’t mind me, guys. I’m just making a Pinterest board for my new government.

First we need a logo…

This reminds me of the time I was telling anyone who would listen that there was a gas leak in the kitchen for 18 months & no one believed me (all men) because they couldn’t smell anything.

I ended up calling the non-emergency fire line (I didn’t know you could do that) and there was a leak.
So he thought ignoring his wife was a good idea when it comes something like potentially leaking gas.... I reiterate....this is why we choose the bear.

You have to apply to buy art these days?

Do you think they really check out your Instagram account to see if you’re “worthy”?

#art #artisforeveryone
A screenshot from a website asking questions like “please tell us anything about yourself that will help us with allocation” and “what noteworthy artworks do you have in your collection?” IIRC, they also ask for all social media “handles” but this screenshot only shows Instagram.

PLEASE stop doing *this* to cushions.
A photo of a brown cushion with a repeating pattern of large blue eyeballs with black lashes. The cushion has been "chopped" ? on the top making a gap down the middle so it is no longer square.

I saw this house online and immediately thought of this MJ album art.

Do you see it?!

It's 01:00, so it could just be me.

We were given a bag of ginger chews in the welcome hamper that came with the new house and they are giving me fiery indigestion!! I thought ginger typically relieved indigestion?!

Note: they are DELICIOUS.

I had the same thing for years with peppermint tea.

What gives, BlueSky friends?!
A hand (mine) holds a single wrapped candy. The packaging reads “ginger chews - original” I think the brand written across the top is Balis Best.

Today’s letter for #BPALphabet is F:

#perfume #perfumesky #fragrance #bpal

Fire Poppy is a delight, by the way. Very orange-forward until later in the day when it turned smoky in a soft way.

E:

My favourite is probably Elegant Couple at the Coast (it has rhubarb 😍) but BPALphabet (for me) is about using some that I’ve not used for a while, or things I don’t often look for.

Letter D:

Not a bad selection. I have some favourites in this category.

7 bottles of perfume oil, a tiny skull resting atop one of them, and 5 sample sized (imp) fragrances sit on creamy white paper.

Today’s #bpal offerings are sponsored by the letter C.

A photo of three full size bottles of perfume oil sat on a surface of creamy white paper. There is also a mini skull present and 11 imps (BPAL’s name for their mini sample vials) all individually labelled.

I'm checking out #Letterloop as an alternative to Substack and I just noticed that their own newsletter is hosted by #substack... what?!

Here is today’s (B):

I was surprised by the number of options for some of the letters.

I think there were only two that only had a single option.

But I am pleased to announce that I did, in fact, have one for each letter. I even had a number (51)

#bpal @bpal.bsky.social #september #perfumesky
Three bottles of perfume oil from BPAL (black Phoenix alchemy Lab) sit on a creamy white paper surface with a good handful (21?) of sample sizes perfumes (imps) and a tiny skull sits on top of one of the full sized bottles.

Over on the #BPAL Facebook group we are wearing a #perfumeoil from each letter of the alphabet for #September.

I didn’t know if I had one for each letter, and instead of checking my spreadsheet I thought I’d get them all out (can you tell I’m avoiding doing something?)

Here is A (yesterday’s):

Does ANYONE feel passionately enough about pickle ball to have a pickle ball door mat? If so, do enough people feel so passionate about pickle ball that pickle ball door mats had to be mass produced?
Image taken from Anthropologie website - a pale yellow door is in the background, in front oof it is a green and cream pickle ball door mat showing two pickle ball bats (?) and balls painted on the mat and there are two loose balls on the ground next to the mat.

Isn’t it amazing what rain after a dry spell can do in the forest? Look at these colours!
