brattleboro, vt

i wasn't looking for one, but found a bentwood chair in brattleboro. the woman who sold it didn't know much other than it's stamped "made in poland" (probably in polski) on the bottom. she guessed it dates from the 1940s. someone recovered it in vintage fabric, a disco-egyptian pattern (gold threads, anhk, head of nefertiti, etc.). i'll recover it in a black or tan linen, though it would probably look best in cane or rush. it's sturdy and in good shape.

we also found ice cream in brattleboro: blueberry yogurt and heath bar crunch.

not much luck yet with the fish photography. the most colorful fish are either the speediest (see below) or very, very shy. this was taken on the sports setting, which led to a visible image of the clown fish, but a grainy one.













watson continues to be photogenic. scout and annie are pleased, i think, that i mostly pester the puppy.
