Corner Of Park Street

These are the oddities I spoke of yesterday. They're located a few blocks from my cupboard, and I first laid eyes on them just before I signed the lease here, which I thought was auspicious. Anyone know what they are? Their fuzziness holds up indefinitely, so it's rather charming to pick a few and let them puff out of skinny-necked vase or a narrow cup. They look as if they're made of feathers, which tickles me {get it?} to no end. Please tell me: Do you have these in your neighborhood?


P.S. Thanks so much for chatting with me about your morning routines. I find them all so fascinating, and even inspirational, as I begin a morning routine so different from those of my past. I'm thrilled you all like the new stamping kit; surprisingly, it's from Staples and comes with loads of letters.

P.P.S. Click on these pictures to see how incredibly fine the fuzzies are. You'll be amazed.

  3. I've never seen those. They don't look like they should grow on trees. Very strange but I like them.

  4. It's a smoke tree! I'm pretty sure that's what it is...

  5. Kittylou: Tell me about it. They're so strange, but so striking -- I always have to stop the car to get a better look.

    Abbey: Good call! What a perfect name, too. Thanks for that ;)
