things

many romantic and lilliputian treasures found their way to me this weekend....here are just a few.

the sweetest antique french doll gloves, miniature german cutlery, victorian repousse and vintage circus~dance~burlesque costumes. all will be listed on my etsy later this week. i suppose that means i should link my etsy here...um yeah, i'll have to figure out how to do that.

the beauty of living in a house with children, cats and lots and lots of string...

a charming little vingette i stumbled upon in my kitchen. i love how the string goes up and around the tomato.

in love with monica canilao

'we are dust' is ca artist monica canilao's first new york solo exhibition featuring found antique portraits, enshrined in the collections she has amassed through time.

"every place she goes she is picking up the abandoned remnants of other people's lives...everything is built is made up of things abandoned, in a phase of decay. in the manipulation of these orphaned portraits, gender and identity is blurred, refined and made fluid. monica's compositions seamlessly meld the old and new: stained paper, withered fabric, and bones combine with her hands to take part in breathing new life."

fecal face has many more photos posted along with an interview with monica.
