clearance love.
i’m in sacramento today (and was yesterday) for work, and while in town, there’s not much to do without a car. there is however, a small westfield shoppingtown plaza within walking distance from my hotel, so i took a small detour there after work yesterday to see what deals were to be had; i did not leave disappointed! american eagle and gap both had some great clearance items; all...

chalkboard paint, no longer just available in black or dark green, is re-imagined in a plethora of new colors by hudson paint. especially loving the glass storage canisters painted with a ribbon of color chalkboard paint along the bottom.

an honest question.
which is worse: having nothing left to give or having everything to give but no one to give it to?

fire in my bones.
fire in my bones - raw, rare and other-worldly african-american gospel 1944 - 2007: highly recommended album. spanning the length of four hours of gospel on three discs, most of the music covered has never been reissued on cd - many were sourced, with great difficulty, from regional record labels. spanning from over six decades of lesser known and alternative gospel with the first recording...
