i love it when people reach out and post comments or send me emails about what's going on on my blog.  after i did the post on how to make bodega bags christine sent me a picture of the brand new bags she made.  awesome!  they look fantastic!

patrick costello sent this to me about a week ago and i have been loving it.  we were actually in a show together last year (though he couldn't make it to the opening), but i just recently got to meet him in person.  i really, really like his work.  ironically he does a lot of preserving as well, and he sent me a jar of his latest: apple butter with a special printed top.  delicious!  apple butter always takes me right back to where my family is from.  there's a big amish community there and i love going back and eating at das dutchman essenhaus and slathering apple butter on everything.

thanks guys!
