The children are taking advantage of the fact that Mimi’s a very chill kitten. So now I have the beginning of a series of “hats on cats”

Just posted this 1960s vintage home sewn sheath dress made from what was probably intended to be a drapery fabric. I really love the classic mid century graphic style here. It’s pretty timeless as well! 38” bust 33”waist 39” hip

All Mimi wants in the whole world is for Molly to love her. All Molly wants in the whole world is for the kittens to leave her alone.

The weather finally cooperated with me yesterday and I was both off work and able to devote a whole day to photos so now everyone gets innundated with new vintage clothing. Sorry not sorry. Like this 1940s bonnet style hat!

The worst part of selling vintage clothing is finding perfect pieces that do not fit you. Frankly so rude of the universe to do this to me.

There have been so many impeachable offenses, but lying about how you were a hero on a day that 2,753 people died in NYC in the 9/11 disaster—when you were on the other side of town, safely calling local media to brag about how you now had the tallest downtown building—is such a despicable one

It’s that time of year again. Do you need a pirate hat? I make pirate hats! Made to order turnaround is generally 3-4 weeks but let me know your deadline and I can try to accommodate. Wool felt, straw and Toyo available. Can also do them without the ruffle even though that’s my favorite part.

We had to take this absolute unit to the vet early this week because he wasn’t eating. The treatment course seems to be working and he’s acting his normal slightly obnoxious self. Fingers crossed we resolved the issue. Also he weighs 23 pounds!! We don’t over feed him he’s just like that 😆

BODIES OF MAGIC, out Sept 2026: Grey's Anatomy meets A Deadly Education, a mystery set during the final exam week of a magical medical school. (Or: five queer nerds solve a murder and have some feelings.) Cover design by Jamie Stafford-Hill. Preorder US: bit.ly/BoM-US Preorder UK: bit.ly/BoM-UK

A book cover for Bodies of Magic by Freya Markse. A deep blue building with a quadrangle, spires and cloisters fills the lower half of the cover with the title text in gold across it. Behind that, the upper background is grey and stormy with a prominent twisting white design that could be a bare tree rising up from the main tower OR an anatomical diagram of the lungs. Centered above the lung-tree are the words DO NO HARM in stark white. Honestly: a complete banger of a cover. Doesn't it make you want to preorder? Yes, yes it does.
