Hunter Gatherer

Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.
Coco Chanel
(If you've got a bag like this from MoMA, you absolutely must use it at the market.)

Another way to carry the harvest


"You can say any fool thing to a dog, and the dog will give you this look that says, `My God, you're RIGHT! I NEVER would've thought of that!'"
- Dave Barry

Design is intelligence made visible.

Excellent advice, originally from 1939 when things looked grim in Britain, but not actually used until 2000 when things looked grim in the colonies. (Shortly after that the slogan was: now panic and freak out.)


Men learn to dislike shopping early
 
 
“Serendipity. Look for something, find something else"......   And have a bag ready to take it home.
