wearing vintage is eco-friendly
hadn't thought of it this way, but it makes sense and I am happy to have more reasons to shop at Streamline Antiques in Lower Mills...

restoring old windows
during this exhausting hot weather, I thnk about windows alot - because my 1890 house has 39, and I have to open them all during the cooler evening hours then close them and pull the shades when it starts to heat up early in the morning. this is our lo-tech way to stay reasonably comfortable, 10-15 degrees cooler inside.
this would have been impossible when we moved in here about 15 years ago, because all the windows had no sash cords and/or were painted shut. so I became a self-taught window restorer. it is not that hard. a friend just sent me a website that expresses better than I good reasons for saving versus replacing your windows.

ashmont hill yard sale!
This Saturday May 17, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., start at Welles Ave & Ocean St. Pick up a map here or at other locations throughout and enjoy this neighborhood adjacent to Peabody Square.
This well-known annual Dorchester event is massive.
You will find almost anything you can think of sale: original art, plants, window weights, furniture, antiques, vintage clothing, bird cages, pot & pans, there was even a chariot last year. Even if you don't buy anything it's fun to walk around with the crowd.
Be forewarned: I heard the Red Line will be running shuttle bus service down Dorchester Ave.
later note added - I will try and find out more Dorchester yard sales and publicize, it strikes me they are a good way to keep serviceable items out of the trash heap.
