a long lost boldini
& love letters tied
with ribbon








found



a paris apartment
untouched for 70 years


the woman fled
during WWII and
never returned


but she paid
the rent until
she passed
at 91.



marthe de florian
was quite the muse
back in her day


and the love note
from giovanni boldini
proves her apt is worthy
of 2.1 million pounds

introducing
MORGAN PARISH



designed by
Ayeisha Mesinger



Morgan is
a family name



and Parish is used
to describe a community
or neighborhood
of people.



Ayeisha draws
inspiration from her
jamaican, northeast
and SoCal roots.



and is a lovely
friend of the family




her bags
are insanely
beautiful

it all began
with a wood stack

over the years


readers have
sent me stacks
of wood they've
found around
the world.



(which reminds me,
i should compile & share
some stacks with you)



but this morning
jacob heftmann
sent me a link
to this guy:



elwood shaler
has been stacking
wood for 75 years.




finally,
someone tells us
how it's really done
