Feeling so much more interested in camping now that I’ve seen the Japanese cookware from Snow Peak and coffee gear from Glocal Standard Products. But, still: this.
Going ga-ga for shiny new books from two authors I've tracked for a good long while: Priestdaddy by Patricia Lockwood and Woman No. 17 by (friend of the podcast) Edan Lepucki.
Finding a new (carved) apple of my eye.
Contemplating ways to get my hands on the syllabus for Dolly’s America, a course being taught at University of Tennessee about the life of The Smoky Mountain Songbird.

Applauding the truly delightful concept (and execution!) of the coffee-table book I Actually Wore This: Clothes We Can’t Believe We Bought.
