A great place to find new releases that offer free mp3s if you purchase the album on vinyl.

I went out of town for the weekend and had a lovely time in Charlottesville, VA, with a dear friend I met in Paris. While I was away, my friend Elliot (director of the Black Belt 100 Lenses project, which I’ve been helping with recently) went down to Selma. Some of the Gee’s Bend quilters were there, and this is what he managed to capture. Elliot’s always incredibly busy with the project, and often drives hundreds of miles in a single week in order to meet with students in the Black Belt counties of Alabama. He writes:
So, several times now, you have said, “I don’t see how you do it”…aside from superfoods and coffee, I’m not sure if I can provide an answer or response to your comment, but I can tell you why I do it. This morning I met with a group of 21 high schoolers from Wilcox county and we were also graced by the presence of a dozen Gee’s Bend quilters who had come to learn about the project. The attached audio file can speak more directly about the experience than I could…it was amazing and I wish you could have been there.

If I had $832.06 to spend on a beautiful bag, this would be the bag I’d spend it on. It would either make me feel like a pirate, or like a very Victorian high class lady about to set out on a great expedition.

More expensive leather Gladstone deliciousness. So good!

Ebay search of the day: Gladstone bag. I’ve been trolling around for one of these for a while. I keep finding them in terrible condition at antique shops. I saw one at a brocante in Paris that was 60€ during my last (very broke) week there. Eep!
I think I am developing an obsession with (a) leather, and (b) vintage luggage. It’s an unfortunate position to be in, since when you combine the two, things can become very expensive. That, and when combined it’s hard to find uses for as many pieces as I would like to collect. I already have more train/vanity cases than I will be able to put to good use.

Visiting this delightful girl for the weekend. Pretty ridiculously excited. We won’t be tooling around Paris like the good ole days, but Charlottesville, VA, is a pretty lovely place.

To the pear tart that I neglected through my impatience for this pecan pie now cooling on my window: fear not. I will make you this weekend, and you will wait for Glynnis’s approval and return. And, by god, you will be good.
1AM pecan pie! You have outdone yourself, sir. I still want to make a pecan pie with a sweet potato topping. Even better if the pecan filling is chocolate-y. Or maybe that would be too rich…
Will there ever be time for pie again? Still working hard on my exciting secret project that keeps taking me longer than I expect. Going back to the library in six hours or so to keep working on it, after leaving the library around 1AM this evening. Papers! Books! Projects! Oh my!
AND I’m going to Virginia this weekend to visit a friend I made in Paris. Pie? When will we be in each others lives again?

Oh, I miss New York. Go to the site and watch the commercial for the Turkish edition of the NYT. So good!
Ditto.
I grew up in Birmingham, Alabama. I recently lived and studied in Paris, France. This summer I lived in Brooklyn and worked at the Center for Book Arts. Now I'm back in Tuscaloosa, studying at the University of Alabama.
You can email me at my gmail address, glynnish. I don't bite.
flickr + vimeo + glynnis.nu = a few other things I do.
