Out like a lamb…

A lamb was born right before our eyes during our farm stay this past weekend in rural Oregon, which means March literally went “out like a lamb” for us. A great thrill for all who witnessed it!

A fantastic group of independent creative types, SJ, and I spent the weekend at Leaping Lamb Farm (yes, the lambs literally leaped too!). We explored the muddy woods, helped with farm chores, collaborated on a mandala, and, well, I hope to be able to share with you why we gathered there in the near-ish future.

P.S. To my Oregon friends, I’m so sorry I wasn’t able to see you on this visit!

Real things you could actually buy:

yay

Yeehaw: Cowboy bootmakers Tecovas rolled out a very limited-edition collection of wheeled footwear on April 1. But their Rolanda and Rolando cowboy roller skate boots weren’t April Fools’ Day jokes. On that day only, you could buy them but only 80 pairs were made available (at $495 each).

P.S. Brands: THIS is how you do an April Fools’ Day promotion.

Real book you can actually buy: yay!

Strange Histories: Artist Ian Trask makes found photography collages by combining 35mm slides. His surreal creations are now showcased in a new book titled Strange Histories: A Bizarre Collaboration ($65). High-quality prints of his collages are available too. via Thanks, Marcia!Interesting side note: He got his slides from the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players. Remember them?
