Books and Boots

       Every surface in my loft is fair game for book storage.
       Here, a horseshoe chair holds some of my favorites.






 
                           As I walk by this shelf and happen to notice, my eye automatically 
                        goes to my vintage cowboy boots or beloved frog skeleton. I see now
                        that my cookbooks are buried, clearly not getting much use these days.
                         The suitcase was purchased in NY at the Triple Pier Antiques show.




                       These Marni boots are my favorite and too cool to be hidden away in
                    "the black hole" (the nickname friends have given my closet). 
                        So they now sit happily on a fungus bracket shelf in the living room,
                          along side a couple black sea fans and some chains from a chainsaw.

Jordan's Art




My son Jordan, 21, is finishing his second year at The Royal Academy of Arts in Den Hague, The Netherlands.  These are some of my favorites (out of the thousands!) and all created while still in high school.  The "Melt" piece hangs in our entryway and was my mother's day gift a couple years ago.
