today i went thrifting in chula vista in the hopes of finding clothes.  i only managed to find a pair of jeans to cut off into shorts but i did find some other cool stuff.  today was all about glassware and records.

i haven't really looked for records at thrift stores for a while but today turned out to be good.  the highlight was back in black for sure. secondly i got a set of 8 bird glasses which are pretty nice.  i think i'm all about having matching dishware from now on. 

also, for some reason i've never been to deseret industries before but it's pretty good.  they had quite a few records that all happened to be in immaculate condition.  also their clothes are ordered by size which i can't remember happening in a thrift store since this awesome one in eugene back in 2002.  finally the price tags have their logo on them and they use the same font as american apparel.  it's kinda weird.

vanilla just announced they are making 150 of these prints.  $100 shipped.

this is what happens when you have a tattoo artist doing art nouveau prints.  i like it though. 

so i figured since the fruits of the garden are at their best they've ever been right now i'd post a few photos.  eva and i have been eating chard and kale three times a week and we're barely keeping up with the plants' rate of growth.  they've also gone from perky to just crazy since I put the compost down and it got sunny a week ago.  now it's back to june gloom so hopefully that will stop everything going to seed.

i hope these come out before i leave the shop:

for the sceptical, the join in the spindle is called a hirth joint and is used to connect engine crankshafts.  100g lighter than previous campy cranks and one thing that i find interesting is that it will be available on all groupos from mirage upwards.
