Tidal Life: Now, with Octopi

Ditching the nautilus lamp idea … I found the perfect light to hang above the bronze octopus table that everyone knows I want for my birthday later this month. I love octopi.

This was featured on one of my favorite interior design blogs – Bohemian Hellhole – how I covet that name. Not only am I addicted to great titles,  (have I mentioned Adjacent, Against, Upon yet?) but I’ve always been bohemian at heart, and struggle to fit in amongst my upscale neighbors.

Add to the great title the fact that the proprietress calls herself Alice Almighty and you have to pay attention.

Looking for who deserved photo cred, I found the original photo is part of a Flickr photostream called Winter in Chicago. Nothing makes sense anymore.

Except that I love the lamp, and the table, and octopi in general.

Dreaming of teaming up with Alice Almighty,

Nancy

An Embarrassment of Riches: Respecting our assets

That old saying “April Showers Bring May Flowers” has me a little nervous. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with May flowers. May flowers are great. But after showers and then some throughout all of February and March, Whidbey is already looking like the land of 1000 lakes. We’re easing toward spring though. There are…

Oh if only they would develop that app! Back when I wrote about cleaning my own roof (wow – a year ago, it needs attention again) I didn’t have solar panels to worry about. And to tell the truth it never occurred to me to include instructions for cleaning solar panels that a reader might…

Madrone tree meets Subaru

I really like trees, especially Madrones. I really prefer them standing up. In November I publicly worried about a fir tree that seems like a potential hazard during wind storms. I’ve also publicly worried about my beloved Madrones. I think I confused Mother Nature, because today she sent a piece of the giant Madrone tree…

Beach walk, beach finds

I accompanied my friend Candace on her monthly dead bird hunt. A member of COASST, the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team, Candace tracks a mile of Puget Sound shore for avian remains. Lucky for the bird population non of our beach finds included feathered bodies. Here’s what we found instead.This charming yellow sailboat was…

  1. Nancy, I would love to see your version of bohemian life! I love Whidbey, the islands here are so beautiful ~ life is slowed down there. It’s like another world. {Love your definition of ‘Living Well’!}

    Trying to wake up…Alice

    1. Oh no, Alice, you made me look at my about page to see what I said Living Well was all about.
      “Update About Page” is now on the to do list. Though not the definition, I still believe that living well has little to do with luxury. I have a short video coming soon that will show a little island bohemiana. Probably a week out.

    1. Thanks Alice, sorting out who originally took a photo that’s in a bazillion Flickr streams can be like wrestling an octopus. Love your site and may just send you pic or two of my version of bohemian life. Hmm, can one be bohemian in the country?
