Update: Ellie Curtis

It’s been such a long time since I looked at Ellie’s work.  There are many new pieces up on her site.  I’m especially obsessed with the fabric and wallpaper prints she’s been making- whimsical, beautiful, and sometimes flirting with the grotesque.  Her shop is fairly empty right now, but perhaps it’s soon to be filled.

Silent Halloween 1939

Square America just uploaded this great little silent home video from someone’s Halloween dinner party in 1939. It’s very cute- the final shot is the best! Hope you all have a fun and safe Halloween weekend. I’m going here to see Bonnie Prince Billy (Will Oldham) perform, and I’m looking forward to it.
