Why goatygoat?

Why goatygoat?? The question is, why not goatygoat? Goatygoat is a spring in your step, a roll in the grass, and a tin can for dinner. Goatygoat enjoys candlelit dinners and long walks on the beach. Goatygoat lives in the now! Goatygoat is all this, and more.

Hummingbird Feeder

I got this as a gift from Olivia for my bridal shower in Minnesota. Or, rather, Ollie took the time to hop online and find a boutique in my town, so I wouldn’t have to carry anything back on the plane. This is what I picked out with her gift certificate.

It’s made of recycled glass, and the birds love it!

Heirloom Tomatoes

I love these lumpy, discolored tomatoes more than just about any other foodstuff on earth, with the possible exception of soft, stinky cheese. More on that later. These tomatoes taste like tomatoes are supposed to…acidic, tangy, with a finish of earthiness that makes me think of childhood. Also, they’re pretty, which is more than can be said for the mealy pink tasteless circles of tomato that you get on your Big Mac.

Plastic Yard Flamingos

Our neighbor’s kid takes pleasure in rearranging them a few times a week, so I never know where they’ll be when I open the front gate. We’ll probably never live in another neighborhood where it’s acceptable, downright encouraged, to have a yard full of the ‘mingos, so it’s now or never for the Mingos Dynasty.

Soft, Stinky Cheese

Seastack2_1.jpgSeastack from Mt. Townsend Creamery is where it’s at, kids. This stuff has a vegetable ash rind, a very smooth liquidy first layer, and an earthy-tasting inner cheese that’s to die for. Even Randy, man-who-likes-few-cheeses, asks for this one.

I feel some summer coming on. 

DateThursday, May 14, 2009 at 09:36AM

Those of you who know me, even in passing, know that I’m not happy unless I’m juggling at least two projects.

Well, we’re gearing up for summer, and I’m planning all sorts of ways to recycle the fabric from two too-flimsy-to-fly paraglider wings. Grocery sacks, strong but light! Comforter filled with synthetic down! Windbreaker!

I think the comforter is the winner at the moment, but I’d welcome any suggestions you may have. There’s a ton of fabric from two gliders.

Also, in my quest for cute summer shoes with the limitation that they must be wood soled clogs, I’m not finding anything suitably adorable in my price range. Therefore, I’m going to make my own. I’ve procured three pairs of clog bases in my size from Anna clogs, and I’m sketching leather configurations for the tops.

 

SO EXCITED! I’ll post photos, don’t you worry.

Ooh! Maybe with a little bolero jacket...

Hey there, ms juggler!

I love summer in Seattle. Spent one there in 2007. The sparkly water, the outdoor bars, the hiking. Sublime.

I would love to get dinner with you. You beat me to it, since next time I was in Seattle I was planning of writing to propose just that. Same goes for San Diego, if you're ever on this side of the coast.

xo,
Roxy

Yes! Yellow dress with red bolero jacket. And all the while you wear it you, and you alone, will know the secret that the dress has flown in a past life, and carried human life with it.

I'm a little too excited about this.
