I planted a sweet 100 cherry tomato back in April, knowing I might not get fruit until our "true" summer in Sept/Oct. This morning, I found a single deep red wonder just waiting for me. Second pic, single cherry tomato amuse-bouche, the "Parkside Special": EVOO, balsamic syrup, basil from my garden, black pepper, aged gouda curls, and a tiny tomato with a skin as tough as wind worn leather. Penny for scale, as I have no bananas. What's growing in your garden?

Hello lovelies! I went to a summer solstice dinner party last night and made these gorgeous fresh flower circlets for the gathering. I loved making them and wearing them, and now it's time for someone else to enjoy them. If you feel like celebrating the solstice today at Stern Grove whilst swanning about with flowers on your head, reach out. I am just a few blocks from Pine Lake Park.

These are NOT sized for children and will be too large and too heavy for your little. In general they are on the large size of adult headwear, as my partner and I have big noggins.

I'll be available from about 1:30Pm to 3:30PM

Hi Amsterdam!

I’m helping organize an international synesthesia symposium later this week, and I’m trying to solve a very unglamorous problem: easels 😅

We need:

• about 5 standing easels for displaying artwork/posters
• about 3 small tabletop easels

Unfortunately many art supply stores seem to need several days for delivery, and we’re arriving on a tight timeline. I need them on site by Weds May 27th at 8AM.

Does anyone know:

• stores in Amsterdam where I can buy easels in person
• conference/event rental companies that rent display easels
• IKEA-style hacks or alternative display solutions people use locally
• or even a local assistant / courier / TaskRabbit-style person who could help pick them up and transport them to Orgelpark?

Thanks so much — and if anyone here is curious about synesthesia, the symposium is open to the public for some events as well. Bonus points if the solution is affordable and doesn’t require assembling 40 tiny screws at midnight. https://iasasevents.com/community-registration/
