Assorted ephemera perched in the rafters of the screened-in porch of our rustic little cottage in Norland, Ontario, a crossroads about a half hour from the farmhouse.
The portrait of Johnny was taken by Barrie Wentzell a great British rock 'n' roll photographer of yore now residing in Toronto. This original print was left over from a feature we did on Barrie in a 2004 issue of Coupe.
The “rust” motif carries over into the kitchen.
Hello Bill... this is a very beautiful site. Your shelf ephemera is weirdly connected to something going on our side of the world with window sill collections. Check it out here! http://kitchen-maid.blogspot.com/

Hi Lucy, thanks! Never thought my first comment would come from New Zealand. That's pretty cool. Your site's great and food looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteNO!! I want that pheasant!! Too weird. I have a thing for pheasants and when I spent two weeks in Yorkshire last year I was obsessed with getting the perfect photo. Most of the time all I saw was roadkill. But I finally got my shot.
ReplyDeleteThen I started work at a bookstore and what do I find perched on top of one of the firetrap offices? A pheasant just like yours; even the base is the same, though yours is a bit rougher looking. I MUST have one! Where did you get it? Garage sale, something like that?
PS. That last shot of the kitchen is awesome. I love the colours and the light. And it looks like a cross between a cottage kitchen and a dorm room.
ReplyDeleteThe pheasant's tail fell off a couple weeks ago. He just isn't the same!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Sucks.
