progress on the prairie

I usually try to avoid feeding the consumerist machine, but sometimes it’s just fun to look at stuff. And when most of the stuff is local art, I feel justified in my wanting Here’s my list so far this Holiday season:

#1 John Fullbright album. This precious singer\ songwriter grew up and still lives about 20 minutes away from my hometown of Holdenville, Oklahoma. Pretty song:

#2 Oklahoma state charm necklace from Gleeful Peacock.

The turquoise is my favorite.

#3 Welcome ‘Homa Mat. Isn’t it cuuuuute?!?!

My home needs this ‘homa.

#4 JD McPherson Record. ‘Cuz I saw his live show at Cain’s this summer, and it was one of the most fun concerts I’ve been to. And ‘cuz I’m probably the only Okie that doesn’t own one yet. I mean, tell me this doesn’t make you feel good:

#5 Kurt Vonnegut’s recently published Letters. Please, oh, please.

#6 I want about 5 or 10 of these versatile hand-forged S hooks, for to hang my pots and pans and whatnots:

HAND-FORGED.

That’ll do for now.
