Blog Crush
Just today I discovered a new favorite blog: REFERENCE LIBRARY aka Andy's Blog. Andy likes to do what I like to do. We both scour the Internet for interesting vintage items, covet antique school furniture and modern toys, and get outbid on eBay all the time. Andy doesn't provide a lot of explanation but I'm still just as inspired by all this cool stuff as I would if each item was written up in some glossy magazine.
Next party I throw it would be fun to take all my yarn remnants and make a sign like this. Plus this little work of art proudly displays one of my many nicknames. [from mermermer.com]
These unique neon lights seen here in a high school science lab are for sale on eBay for $750.

Along with "eBay Items I Didn't Win", Andy dedicates a category to "The Quality". From The Timeless Way of Building he quotes architect Christopher Alexander: There is a central quality which is the root criterion of life and spirit in a man, a town, a building, or a wilderness. This quality is objective and precise, but it cannot be named." Some words attempt to describe The Quality but fail to truly capture what it is. These are: alive, whole, comfortable, free, exact, egoless, eternal." This 1930s Letterman jacket found on eBay is The Quality.
