Not only does he create awesome art and produce an impressive blog and Etsy shop (not forgetting the zine) but his powers stretch to getting us all together on a regular basis and inspiring
We should make him a super hero cape
(perhaps grrl can knit him one).
As part of his latest call for action - I've been digging around and found this image which I took last year in a quaint old street in northern England. I love the way the shoes have been carefully displayed - they remind me of lttle birds. I love old shops they make such a refreshing change from globalised high streets or, worse still, the out of town shopping centres that my friend calls 'non places'. You know the type of places she means... places that suck out your soul. Motorway services stations, large corporate office buildings, banks, fast food restaurants. We need grrl to cover these places in knit and save our souls.
Anyway visit here to see the little man that owns this shop checking on his window and some of the other shops in this street.

I love bloghopping and visit all the collaborators of this buried treassure project! The photo's of the English street makes me wanna visit that country again (maybe drink coffee in that one cafe?) Thanks for the inspiration!
love the birdie shoes shot ! magnificent treasure ! And the idea of a grrl knit cap for seth sounds so perfect !!! ;)
I remember that was the first post of yours I saw. I have visited my sister in Exeter, where the High Street seems nightmarish with its chain stores.
I think you're right - Seth is the super hero of blogging - such an amazing gatherer and sharer of souls! I love your photo and the trip down High Street. Thanks for sharing my book video link!

Kate you are in fine form! Loved this post! And those shoes!! What can i say!
Fabulous photo of shoes against peg board and the man who (probably) arranged and runs herd on them. I think I see a comfy pair I want, and a biiiiggg purse, too. - Jeanne
