Zach Luther Article
Zachery Luther
Hot Topic in Rimrock Mall
has a wall devoted to band Ts
and salesman Zach Luther
said he rarely goes a day
without wearing a band or
concert T-shirt. His recent
favorite is a Marcy
Playground shirt he bought at
the Railyard Ale House this
spring.
“Sometimes I buy two shirts
at a show if the opening act is
good,” Luther said. “My
favorite all-time shirt is my
Pearl Jam T. It says ‘Nine out
of 10 kids prefer crayons to
guns.’ ”
Luther said the first two band
Ts that Hot Topic started
carrying were the iconic
Sublime shirt with the sun on
the front and Bob Marley
shirts.
“We’ll never quit stocking
those,” Luther said. “The idea
was to get the shirts for
people who can’t make it to
the shows.”

Repost from Laume's Studio Blog about Lorna
If you ever come through Susanville and need a place to stay, you might stop at the Apple Inn, a lovely small motel owned by friends of my mother. The wife, Lorna, runs a bit of gift shop by the front desk and I stop in from time to time to say hello and see what she has for sale as she and I share a love of faeries.
This lovely faerie scene that she created was on display when I stopped in earlier this week!
An encounter between a human girl and a young fae.
Other smaller fae go about their business in their little home set amongst a "woodland" of mushrooms.
Sunlight streams through while the wee folk play and sing and tell stories.
And I have a story for you if you promise to keep it a secret, just between me and you and the faeries, okay? Come a little closer in, so I can whisper it to you....
Lorna made these beautiful mushrooms out of cardboard tubes and garden supplies. The tops of these large mushroom are made from the ready made sphagnum moss hanging pot liners. Hmmm, these look to be made with shredded plant material. There are several different kinds. She found these at the local dollar store. She painted and glittered. The tubes are also painted and glued to little wooden platform blocks, the caps glued to the top.
These smaller mushrooms are made from a variety of paper seed pots. Softened, molded, and dried again and then painted, glittered and glued.
The woodland floor is created with a variety of plants - both silk and plastic as well as real dried flowers and mosses. Butterflies, birds, faeries, and other woodland creatures are tucked here and there.
Most of the tall mushrooms have added faery lights wound up their stalks and popping through in polka dotted brightness.
Here's an "beneath the scenes" view so you can see how simple it is.
A photo taken without a flash to show you you it might look when the sun sets. It would be fun to add a garland of garden lights above the scene to enjoy it after dark.
The only thing stopping me from rushing out to create my own beautiful faerie window is the lack of a proper site free of clutter and safe from cats. But I can dream. A midsummer's night dream. Maybe someday...
