August 21, 2008 | Filed Under royal buffet 

i’ve been busy making things for the royal buffet window display (october) at the art and light gallery downtown and really just can’t keep them to myself so some things are going in the etsy shop between now and early next week.  annie and i are excited to put our things in those terrific windows, not just because it’s a great little shop and is good advertising for royal buffet, but also because it will be in october, a month of leaves and blackbirds and gold and white here and there.  i’ll be sure to post pics when we fling and hang our lovelies far and wide (well, as far and as wide as the pointy corner can be adorned) and if you’re a greenville reader of this blog you’re nearly required to stop in and see it.

in other news, i found a sofa a weekish ago at a thrift store, the one where we also got our piano, the one where sometimes the records are only ten cents (instead of one hundred cents) apiece, the one whose management did not notice the wind blowing their stroller and bicycle curb display into the four lanes of traffic and beyond, that one.  it’s definitely not the sofa of my dreams, but it is much better than the other dreadful thing we had, the sofa (sofa or couch: what do you say?) that we enjoyed, just this morning, from behind the curtains, peeking, watching the garbage truck bite in half and swallow. who knew it would be so easy for such a pimpled and below-average machine to do?  we still have the cushions, although i’m debating the wisdom of this since they’re always in the way, everywhere, used wildly, and, worst of all, don’t really have a home now that they’re loose and kept for play.  i knew that the new sofa was mine when i saw that the cushion had hooks and clips so that it cannot be removed unless you are an adult, or a child with great patience (the latter of which we do not have, as yet).
