Click On This is a collection of weekly found treasures. It’s our version of inverting our pockets and showing you our seashells. Have a shell to share? Send it here.
Is there anything that you keep tabs on online that you know you’re very unlikely to (or at least very rarely) ever be in the right time-space to actually do? Wildcraft Studio in Portland, Oregon is one of these for me. I’ve followed along with all their class offerings since my Knit Wit days, but when will I ever get over there? Not anytime soon. Which is why their online offerings came as such a delightful surprise. You can buy kits or less expensive video tutorials for all kinds of topics. I’ve got my eye on textile marbling and coastal foraging.
OK, Oregon! One more for you: Komika Collective. Kominka literally means ‘old house’ in Japanese. This collection of architects and old-house enthusiasts buy up reclaimed kominka that are being torn down (sad), ship them to the U.S. and rebuild them here. They can recreate them as-is (rustic and typically small) or they can create larger buildings around the reclaimed material.
All over the back roads of Maine, maple trees are festooned with metal buckets, compound buckets, even gallon milk bottles—it’s tapping season. Which makes it a great time to reflect on yet another of our most cherished American seasonal pass times… and remember who we have to thank for it.
Just a little something for you because we all deserve a treat.
