the frida kahlo exhibit was great. hearing about her life is always fascinating, sad, and really inspiring. no pictures were allowed in the exhibit. but i did take some of my favorites from the permanent collection, which was wonderful too.

we had breakfast at honey’s sit n eat, thanks to joy’s d*s philly guide. yum. and we had time in the afternoon to check out a few stores on 3rd street. i loved a dress at vagabond, and some very expensive mid century modern furniture. we found a place to get veggie falafel for lunch, and then headed back to brooklyn…









we had a long, slow drive to philadelphia on friday night. but it was beautiful driving in the rain and fog, and i was obsessed with the electrical wires and geometric structures that we drove past. they make some very nice lines and shapes, don’t they? i know i’m going a little overboard with all these pictures, but i can’t help it.





my mom reminded me to look at the website of artist claire nereim. i had seen claire’s posters at little otsu, and especially liked her fruit “forever” calendar. i’m afraid it might be sold out now. claire lives in san francisco, and her boyfriend owns a bike shop with a family friend of ours. her screen printed work reminds me of another favorite artist, matthew brannon.

update: fruit calendars are available here! thanks shayna.
