This place RULES. I have died and gone to sartorial heaven. Wife thinks I want to dress like a re-enactor, and she LIKES that. Nice. I really dig the low production, hand made quality, truly truly right fabrics that i've seen. Will be ordering soon and let you know. Barring some major disappointing despatchments, I can't imagine not loving this stuff and wearing the heck out of it. Somewhere. To a re-enactment maybe...or simply enacting a simpler quaker edwardianish life, of a farmer or gentleman farmer as the case may be. No matter how deposed I am at the moment.Finch McCoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00996152097633041111noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867118029502549729.post-22756830385316055202011-03-29T06:11:00.000-07:002011-03-29T06:11:09.163-07:00tiny houses.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOogm8-GWH1XsWdtYFluSr49gJmv-gYTOqVgnCPeK9SA-4Cm-Fj61levaIn5GjXoq6vcqWO8SKVeCCSY_zCSaZs53_GboTWPdfxXYrDKmvYM3w2rJXYw8YSp2587JX4Yu804GgIhaEsOQ/s1600/tumbleweedwoods.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOogm8-GWH1XsWdtYFluSr49gJmv-gYTOqVgnCPeK9SA-4Cm-Fj61levaIn5GjXoq6vcqWO8SKVeCCSY_zCSaZs53_GboTWPdfxXYrDKmvYM3w2rJXYw8YSp2587JX4Yu804GgIhaEsOQ/s320/tumbleweedwoods.jpg" width="171" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhej8jMc0CDQ0b_rUMhIQDd9JHIcSQR3BD4LwXLEl7xhZUlWo3Lhv5_wxjdIpnJRYo_ottLv_qnq7ySX7eWjhVNEzfCZRhP_DhMe0nZ8ObGUefWudELJaPt_t_smOvvk6vVaQzu8aeRVbA/s1600/tumbleweedboat.bmp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhej8jMc0CDQ0b_rUMhIQDd9JHIcSQR3BD4LwXLEl7xhZUlWo3Lhv5_wxjdIpnJRYo_ottLv_qnq7ySX7eWjhVNEzfCZRhP_DhMe0nZ8ObGUefWudELJaPt_t_smOvvk6vVaQzu8aeRVbA/s320/tumbleweedboat.bmp" width="234" /></a></div><br />

Hands down my favorite store. Favorite style guy and,looking back, Sid Mashburn has ALWAYS, since I was a teenager, influenced my view on style. He was the rockinest, most influential high schooler when I was but a junior high guy. I mean, he influenced EVERYONE, well, not everyone agreed with his approach BUT he influenced anyone in the least observant in an aesthetic regard. And I hold to Quentin Crisp's statement....<br />

insisting that all dressing is drag....meaning, there is not a way to dress which doesn't, in some way, tell about you and your positions. No one was born wearing a baseball cap, though that is sorta foisted on us....I digress. It is great to see that Sid has done so well for himself and for our hometown and state. Hats off to my brother Sid Mashburn. May he live long and prosper in an understated but oh so proper way.

I am all consumed with all this americana, folk/work clothing business. Handmade, well-wrought objects in general have always been an attraction to me. Details details details. But I have also always read ingrediants on absolutely everything, really since I was about 9 years old. So I enjoy clothes of a certain ilk, watches, lamps, shoes, belts, hats, cars, slo foods and antiques/vintage furnishings, watches, clocks, yawn, ties oh my goodness, amongst other things. All because of the details and context and place and that ever evasive term quality. I am now fondly remembering bicycles. That 70s Sears Free Spirit red white and blue bicentennial ten-speed, my green banana seated schwinn stingray, loved those bikes. Marked an era for me (ERA too). Funny what bikes mean to you, I believe I remember them all.....some though have a special place in my memory bank, flying around the neighborhood, breeze in hair and all too hippy of an aesthetic, listening to ELO in Mississippi heat. Do you remember the song, "Third rate romance, low rent rendevous"? I do.</div>Finch McCoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00996152097633041111noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-867118029502549729.post-90613339409142954442010-02-25T11:51:00.000-08:002010-02-25T12:43:07.008-08:00A New Addition--Hattie<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" kt="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1iNHnF9zdc4BrWWsUdeFOWbqnYMZPzIefsoS5i_kEE00hZ-tanITjcDGcllXkq_cue5Foj7j76wMxA1b0Uw2WKi1djYzuFDBQBfSwwXa8ITFj5H2gax22dG796n1oIX1-fVXE3PCdS44/s320/hattie's+mom.jpg" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Chelsea, the dam</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

An add on to a thriving brood consisting already of a 13 year old beautiful and multi-talented girl, a young and beautiful wife, and youngish and beautiful mother-in-law, a chocolate labbish loveable but skiddish Charlotte and Curry, the "oh please", cat. Into all this Hattie will come. A soon to be born English Springer Spaniel. Yah! Dam and Sire are from a small farm in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Pure breds but mother is part field and part bench, father all bench. From a very good home from what interactions I've had with the breeder, Kathy,....who doesn't really consider herself a breeder at all but more of a provider of joy I think. She assists with the birth of all the puppies, who are meant to be born early March. Then 6 weeks until weened and a road trip to the small farm to pick up Hattie. Then the fun shall begin. I look forward to the weekly updates from Mississippi after the birth. Kathy states she will send pictures as well. Joy I think has already been provided. Thanks be to God.<br />
