a big bearded dude came out of the bushes…

I don’t know why I was surprised. It was deer season after all. He had a mouth full of chew, waders on, full camo…and this gorgeous little glimmering fish hook on his mud-covered hat. He claims that you could use it in a pinch for a fish hook, but he doesn’t recommend it. He sent me to the local farm and fleet and I bought all they had. SOME USES FOR THE HOOK: money clip tie clip hat clip bookmark (as used on our recent yearbook mailing) I sent a copy of the yearbook to our friends at 10engines, who posted about the…

The filthiest, scariest flea market in the world…

…is also where you find the cheapest swag. CASE IN POINT: the flea in Prague and one in Vienna, Austria. I found….  …the above beautiful hand carved black forest oak frame. The hand-inked label is still on the back (does anybody read Czech?).  And the matt board is completely intact (with embossed details). It only cost $20. I found a stack of WWII maps, backed onto linen and individually hand labeled for $3 each. (I’m thinking about making a huge wall installation with these at some point). I got some handmade table runners in the most beautiful hand-spun linen. The dealer said…
