ended up in athens, ga, just playing dress up in someone's guest room again (this dress'll be available on etsy soon as I take real photos of it/ ready myself to part with it along with this amazing rose floral dress with black and white cameos all over it and the prettiest little cross stitch floral purse)

Back in North Carolina, the drive here was dull, thank god. Last night was Willy Tea Taylor and The Harmed Brothers and Kegs and Free BBQ so this morning is slow and water and cigarettes and sketching some things for the boys. Also I loved waking up this morning and reading a super sweet post from my old internet pal Julia, A Love Letter to Internet Friends. Read more of Julia's blog than that post, she's fiercely intelligent and critical and inspiring and I have learned so much/ benefitted so much from getting to know her! Her blog alagarconniere.wordpress.com/ ranges from her love for photobooths to why gwen stefani is an appropriative asshole and those are just a couple of the more recent posts I have favorited, if you know me much at all I'm sure you can tell this is a person after my own heart. 
I've been scouring southern flea markets, antique shops, thrift stores and soon I will share these collected treasure with you, soon as I have the time and space to photograph them (still not sure where I'm going to be this week, on tour or with my step-grandmother): the most gorgeous black dress ever (it's a miracle it doesn't fit me or I wouldn't be able to part with it) from the forties in amazing condition, a beautiful lace dress from the sixties, camel hair skirts, metal jewelry, antique medicine bottles and magazines with personal icons on the cover...wait and see friends.

woah

So somewhere around Knoxville, with Tom Petty's 'It'll All Work Out" playing in the background going about sixty-five on the 40 my front left wheel popped off my car and went flying down the interstate. Some interstate incident response people chased down the tire.  It was one of the scariest driving experiences I've ever had (and that's not a short list) the guy who saw the whole thing and stopped said my jaw was just dropped the whole time. The car (Duchess) survived and made it to Chattanooga ( at my step-grandmother's house/ late grandfather's house eatin a snickers ice cream bar, watching television, looking at old family photographs) but she's making some scary noises.

Asheville, NC

a couple pictures I took the first time I went to asheville when I was sixteen on a roadtrip


Asheville, North Carolina is one of my favorite cities in the states. When I was 18 and got heart broke for the first time this is where I came and fell in love with the Blue Ridge Mountains. So today after The Harmed Brothers/ Willy Tea Taylor/ Stripmall Ballads show at Jack of the Wood last night (And getting to hang out with one of my closest friends from Highschool for the first time in yearsl!) I'm checking out art galleries, drinking Kashmir IPA from the Asheville Highland Brewing Company and eating good ol' boiled peanuts. Yum!
