rhubarb growing

been taking (almost) daily photo's of rhubarb growing in my garden. the last photo is today...

first warm day of the year

checking the garden for the first time this year. fresh rhubarb survived, and mint is sprouting, still in the shape of the ceramic pot that didn't survive the cold.

grey felt bag

made a new felt bag, lined with unbleached cotton. perfect size for laptop and a magazine, with handles long enough to carry on shoulder, and short enough not to get caught in bicycle wheel. happy.

shadow art

not new, but still very good, the work of dutch (rotterdam/schiedam) artist Diet Wiegman

Louis Vuitton made this trash bag from the same fabric as used for raincoats. Styled as a trash bag, but as expensive as a Vuitton is expected to be. Designed of course by Marc Jacobs.
