Stuff, on a bitterly cold day. It's around minus 10 Celsius. That's the high. The central heating puffs on every hour or so, keeping up.
Table and chairs: Sold to me as Heywood Wakefield by a couple in Alexandria, Virginia. The table turned out to be a good replica, and the chairs are real.
Vase on table. Been with me since then, too. Junk shop in Adams Morgan, D.C.
Jug in window: Wedgwood, a sidewalk find in Windsor Terrace, last year.
Pillows. They come and go. More keep coming. Skinny la Minx covers. The Turkish embroidered ones are gifts from Bevan and Mustafa in Istanbul. I often pack them in layers beneath me when I work on the daybed. They squoosh down and re-fluff beautifully.
Throws and cover on daybed, both by Mungo in South Africa. Cotton, solid, and indestructible.
Schoolchair beside door, acquired in Harlem. Basket on it from a gift shop on 5th Avenue in Park Slope.
Spring flowers from corner stores nearby.
