i haven't done this in a while. :) tonight we're going to the circus, which made me think of some quirky, eccentric websites i like to visit--some for inspiration, some for recreation, some for meditation.
today i spent my time at fed by birds . i think this site is an online archive for a store--the "about" blurb says "south london haven"--but whatever it is, they have some amazing finds that never fail to surprise or intrigue me.
i originally found fed by birds while looking for pictures of a calash. then i found the pictures of one of my favorite dance figures, ruth st. denis. and then i found the knitting. and the shop windows.
and THEN i found the waterbugs.
and THEN i found the postcards.
and THEN i found the books. oh my gosh, the books. the estonian schoolbooks, and alice the flapper, and books from the time when a book was an object of art to admire and cherish.
there is simply too much on this site to see at one time, but that just leaves you something to look forward to on your next visit. if you're lucky, you'll get snowed in this weekend and have plenty of time to browse.
