Tonight my heart is full of a sad song—
My lonesome lover has taken off.
I’m wandering around on a cloud,
empty-hearted and down and out.
—Sascha by Jolie Holland

Yet another lazy day here at the Mercuriosity Shop. Here’s what I did today. I sat on a deck chair out in the lawn, drinking lemonade, eating roomkaas cheese and chilled black figs while listening to the new album escondida by Jolie Holland. She performs Piedmont-style blues, and it’s perfect for a sunny day like today.
