I brought two Shiwan mudmen figures to the shop today. These are vintage, from around the 1950s, and they have an interesting history.

Shiwan refers to an area in China that has a long history (5,000 yrs+) of pottery-making. Mudmen were originally created to populate miniature landscape designs, or penjing, providing life and narrative to a scene. Later, they became popular in bonsai, adding scale and character.

For this reason, they really look amazing sitting in front of a landscape photo, painting, or even a plate with a landscape scene like a Blue Willow or British Castles. Note that clothing is glazed, while faces and hands are unglazed to mimic natural texture, and facial features are expressive and detailed.

Game players $28; Tiger $18

A few weeks ago I posted about a painting I bought at a vintage shop in Vermont. Here it is in its new home in Montreal. I love how the colors complement the rest of the room and the contrast of all that great texture against the smooth glass in the alcove.

Even aside from that, though, it's one of my all-time favorite art purchases. 🩷 I totally would design a space around it if I didn't already have one that worked! Do you have a piece of artwork, pottery, glass or whatever that you'd love to use as the start of a room design? 👀

These beauties are just some of what is headed into the shop today. The copper kettle took over an hour to polish, but what a result it gave! The Bordallo Pinheiro cabbageware bowl is 9", perfect for serving or for display. The brass candlesticks are from a longtime New England collector estate; they have gorgeous details including a scalloped base.

See them soon at The Rustic Chaos

So today Owl got a new friend. 🦉🩷🧸 And they each took their pillows and had themselves a time.

Sometimes s**t happens that is wrong and unfair, and there's nothing you can do but wait it out and hope that doing the right thing pays off in the end. It did, finally, and I realize now how much of my energy was being consumed by this thing. I have been so...stuck.

So today I was able to burn through my to-do list, and then I followed a random idea and made this little owl out of scraps of yarn and parts of patterns. I ripped out, improvised, dug through bins, tried again. What a joy to have the brain space and freedom to be creative again, even just with something as silly as this. If you are struggling right now, I hope you can give yourself that peace and freedom, too.

PS , your stories have been so helpful to me lately. Thank you so much for sharing them.
