Signs Along the Coast
This summer, I had the opportunity to drive out to Canada’s East Coast (with a mini-dip down to Bangor, ME and the marvelous Nonesuch Farm).

The image of a pre-superstar Faye Dunaway [...]
Dry-Transfer Field Notes

True, back then I was popsicle-stick rubbing images of country-style ragdolls and faux patchwork sunflowers onto memory boxes, which is not nearly as cool as this. First up: “Reasons To Strongly Dislike All Sheen/Rebecca Black References”.
