i fell in love with these leather wallets at the historical museum in belmont, vermont. they are from the 1800’s yet they are so au courant. i would love to be seen with either one of these TODAY !

these sacks in the market were a prime example of morocco’s amazing colors, textures, and smells.

marrakech, morocco
while in morocco, we went to a HAMMAM. it was such an incredible experience and i have NEVER felt more clean. the woman who cleaned us slathered black soap on our entire bodies and then, with great vigor, scrubbed us with a charcoal mitt. so painful, so pleasurable. it removes all of the dead skin (yes, she showed us) and leaves you as soft as a baby’s butt. she also washed and comb out my hair (score ! . . . i hate washing my hair). naturally, i bought many tubs of this mysterious black soap to bring home with me. and i can’t wait to go back…

france
i’m starting to work on my next book (chronicle books) which will be a sketchbook from my sketchbooks of my trips to france ! i’m sorting through 100’s of sketches to see which ones will make the cut. a very daunting process but i’m so excited about this book ! it’s a dream come true.
this morning i spent painting and drawing with pure INDIGO chunks that i brought back from morocco . . .
then later that day i went to one of my favorite stores, the GARDENER, and saw THIS BOOK!

these utensils were hanging in the kitchen of the late artist jean derval. he was an amazing artist and i had the chance to visit his home in france. the house was pure magic complete with an enormous wild garden in the backyard.
