Curating intrigue, wonder, and the will to live
On this day in 973, Ælfthryth was crowned the first official Queen of England (beside her husband). Some milestones deserve velvet and gold.
vibe check
from the crypt
Carved into the rocky coast of Scotland is the Doctor’s Bath, where patients once soaked in frigid seawater as treatment. Moody little wellness retreat energy.
some cool art
Hyperrealistic animals and absurd levels of patience that I do not possess. Jake Messing’s work feels like a love letter to noticing things.
linguistic oddity
Mad as a Hatter: Traces back to hat makers exposed to mercury fumes, causing tremors and strange behavior. We support retiring cursed workplace conditions.
a writing prompt
A society that's organized according to ancient symbols learns that the symbols have been misinterpreted.
dream house alert
Equal parts rustic and très chic, this Normandy home embraces worn floors and that spellbinding, lived-in magic. We support homes with texture.
a corner of the world
Perched between the redwoods and the sea, Nepenthe’s has been feeding artists and romantics since the 1940’s. Part mythical treehouse, part Hollywood lore.
from my lens
If a building glows like this at dusk, I will romanticize it immediately.
Location: Legion of Honor, San Francisco.
until next time...
If this email made you feel an inkling of wonder or chuckle once, it was all worth it.
Same time next week?
If you enjoyed this, consider sharing it with someone you don't hate.
Until next Monday, xoxo
