There's a place just down the street where they chop off angel's wings and fry them in oil. You should try some. Oh, the angels? Yeah they're regular people now. Simultaneously their freedom of flight is ripped away from them violently and yet at the same time they are granted freedom from the yoke of divine subservience so it's bitter sweet for them or some gay shit like that. Anyways the wings are really good.

Corey Alston (Mount Pleasant, SC)

“​​My name is Corey Alston. I’m a fifth generation Sweetgrass Basket Weaver. I currently run the family business in the Charleston City Market. Sweetgrass Basket Weaving has been a major part of the Gullah Geechee Culture dating back to days of Enslavement. This coastal art form has been recognized as South Carolina State Handcraft and has been known to be kept alive the longest along Sweetgrass Basket Makers HWY of South Carolina. This skill is one of the rare arts of our country that is founded nowhere else in America. Gullah Sweetgrass Baskets are a national treasure.

“​​Being chosen as one of the artisans of Mt. Pleasant does not only bring awareness to my skill set and my culture as a Gullah Geechee representative, but in collaboration with Acres of Ancestry raises awareness of the unjustifiable treatment that Black and minority farmers have endured. The more that this topic is brought to the forefront, the more that our nation’s leaders will see that treating white farmers one way and then treating Black farmers another way will not be accepted. I applaud Acres of Ancestry for working tirelessly on making sure that everyone understands what our elder farmers are going through.

“​​These two Sweetgrass Baskets are called ‘Poppa’ and ‘Big Momma.’ It took six months to complete ‘Big Momma’ and four months to complete ‘Poppa.’ They both measure 36 inches tall.”

I can't believe that this cool 1959, (reno'd in 1977), time capsule in Waverly, TN is still on the market. I posted it so long ago, and it's special b/c it was featured in Better Homes & Gardens magazine. 6bds, 4ba, 4,415 sq ft, $633,888.

Wow, it really needed some sort of mat- look at how black it is by the door. Anyway, it has beautiful stained glass panels. Look at the interesting architectural feature on the left.

They put a piano up there, it has built-in seats, and a living room area.

In addition to that, there's this huge open space.

Here's a dining area. There are so many architectural features in the walls and ceilings.

These 2 counters are at the entrance to the kitchen and this one is used as a desk. The other is used as a dining surface.

The kitchen is big. I love that it's a pretty shade of pink. I like the curving cabinets and the ceiling of light.

Then, here's a laundry area.

I don't know what this room is. It's either a sun room or the primary bedroom.

Hallway to the bedrooms.

This bedroom has a large home office for two. The home belonged to a Dr.- you can see the little figure on the shelf.

Another bedroom with a vanity or desk.

One of the baths has a mural.

This bedroom has an en-suite.

Basement bedroom.

And, rec room.

Back of the home with a swimming pool and cabana.

From the original Better Homes & Gardens Article.

It's demonstrating the versatility of the house.

All of the built-ins. What's interesting is that you can see that before it was reno'd in 1977, it wasn't pink.

I think that this is so interesting.

Even the backyard was different. The lot is 1.9 acres.

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this
