the valentina 1
compost: the new black -gold. i am the proud owner of a prototype of the illustrious composter –the valentina. (the definitive model is available at priscillawoolworth.com.) i just love it! it’s the perfect size for apartment terraces and those with small or potted gardens. i can’t wait to see the results! so far, all is decomposing nicely. the greens (pulp from the juicer, other veggie/fruit scraps) and the browns (dry leaves, used coffee grounds) and the shredded paper (junk mail) seem to be getting along just fine and maintaining the right amount of moisture. next step: worms! i’ll keep you posted on the progress…

art in the streets 0
aug 8 is the last day to view a staggering selection of art in the streets @ moca.-from box car tagging, ny wild style, subway train bombs, stencil art, la calligraphy, photography -it’s exhaustive and invigorating and i cannot believe there’s not enough money to bring this ridunculously awesome, record-breakingly popular show to it’s birthplace -nyc. WTF brooklyn museum??? whatta g’wan? there were lines ’round the block. in LA! downtown was buzzing on a thursday night. parking lots full up at 6 pm! just sayin’. it’s a win-win, popular, all ages, all cultures show. BTW, banksy sponsored “free mondays” so tomorrow should be off the hizzle with peeps…but worth it. N-joy!

you can put cashmere and shearling in the stores and magazines and call it pre-fall, but it’s summer here in socal and it will be summer here till at least november. that’s another 2 months after labor day. ok? so, long live bright colorful things! towels, chairs, glasses, ceramics -makes me want to re-decorate. then go to the beach. or lounge around at home or visit some friends,bring them treats and lounge around some more. find all the above and so much more at lost & found (6320 yucca street, 90028, 323.856.5872). read about the awesome teak and recycled woven furniture, here.
