Many things I'm thinking about, but for the moment, here are some of this week's pictures on the IG I do for the store.
TOP ROW, L to R:
1. That book cover of Bacchae (about divine madness, etc.) is maybe my favorite ever. (Elvis was arrested for a scuffle at a gas station--charges were dropped.)
2. Hand-painted copy of Victorian holy card: sacred heart with text reading "Sweet Heart of Jesus Be My Love". I posted this today, Valentine's Day.
3. Me in the donations area, holding up what I think is a pajamas case. Handmade of corduroy, it opens in the back like a pillow case.
BOTTOM ROW, L to R:
4. Speckled glaze, covered dish by Monterey Pottery of California, mid-century, with 1970s? daisy napkins.
5. Must be theater week--another play, Amphitryon 38, with an Eiffel Tower martini glass.
6. Wool sweater from the store, mended by Happify Design (my friend Julia).

I love that Euripides cover, from a Hackett edition. Many of their covers offer arresting (no pun intended — okay, pun intended) modern images to go with ancient texts. For instance, their Iliad, Odyssey, and Oresteia.
ReplyDeleteWow--thanks I hadn't seen those.
ReplyDeleteI especially thrill to the Odyssey with Earth rise!!!
And the Iliad cover gave me shivers--the soldiers deploying from a water craft.
But the ticker tape parade for the Oresteia seemed a little weak to me (too obvious, maybe).
