I was running around the playground with my friend Scarlet in elementary school. Now she makes really nice, handcrafted jewelry and clothes (as well as all sorts of impressive art). So if you’re a girl, or need a girl gift, check out her online store, BUN.I can’t figure out which makes me happier — that people still know how to make basic things (i.e. clothes) with their own hands, or that it’s so ridiculously easy for anyone to go online and make a website which, in this case, gives an independent artist like Scarlet a chance of reaching a much larger world beyond her physical neighborhood. yes, i know, like ebay. but it’s all still amazing.
michael, you are a darling. thank you. i miss you, and i miss running around with you! scarlet
