Suzann Pitt animated her short film Asparagus over a period of 4 years, creating some 8,000 hand painted cells. She worked 48 hours straight on this sequence where the garden flowers pass by the window. At face value it seems like a fairly heteronormative movie, but Pitt was drawn to asparagus visually and symbolically because she sees it as an inherently androgynous plant: An asparagus spear is phallic when it emerges from the ground, then becomes willowy and flowers if it’s not harvested. She regards the faceless woman at the center of the film as both a magus/magician and mother figure- the film is as much about gender identity and s3xuality as the creative process. It’s beautiful, funny, grotesque, and deeply weird. Sort of like an animated Maya Deren on acid. Historically, it was screened before David Lynch’s Eraserhead, which makes a lot of sense. It’s been on constant replay this spring- an inspiration for my own creative work.
Nun’s crafts at the shop 🕊️

1. Wax cloister work
2. Punch paper embroidery with celluloid
3. Mid 19th century devotional print
4. Shadowbox shrine to the Virgin Mary
5. Account in defense of an Ursuline convent near to me that was burned down by an angry Protestant mob in 1834. I’m only offering it because I already have one 😂
Today in 17th century florals ~ Balthasar van der Ast
The Heart of Man: Either Temple of God or Habitation of Satan is one of my favorite devotional books and exists in many versions dating back to Catholic Jesuit images from the 1600s. It became popular in the 19th century via pastor Johannes Gossner, who published his own Evangelical spin on these Catholic images in 1812. He called the work Geistlicher Sittenspiegel- a “spiritual mirror of morality”- it depicts the consequences of one’s spiritual choices. Ten small, turn of the century antique prints in contemporary frames will be up for grabs in next weekend’s shop update. Set your alarms for Sunday, 5/31 12 PM EST.
Ma devise est de vous aime [sic] [et] de ne jamais changer 😍 By all means make me vows on embroidered silk garters. 18th century, in the collection of the MFA Boston, but not on view. I have a lovely set of turn of the century antique garters in their original glass & paper box- probably a “will never sell” piece but I am on the lookout for a set for the shop. Please join us in arguing about the odd spelling in the comments! No insights available on the MFA site unfortch.
New York! I have something cute for you to do in June: To celebrate the premiere of The Vampire Lestat and to kick off Pride season, Good Judy in Park Slope is hosting a Lestat lookalike contest, followed by a watch party. My friend is emceeing: They are a professor, photographer, author of the bestselling books Buried Boston and Buried New Orleans, and frequent lecturer at Brooklyn Brainery and Lectures on Tap. I’m offering one of the prizes, because of course I am:

- Victorian cross on velvet choker
- Antique crucifix
- Vintage Anne Rice audiobook set on cassettes in coffin box
- holy water bottle full of lube

If you’re local and you love these books as much as we do, come on down and have some fun with us! Flyer’s in the last slide. Thank you for putting this on. 🩸
Sacred heart roundup ❤️‍🔥

1. 19th century Dutch holy card (not mine)
2. My favorite antique sacred heart available at the shop right now
3. Hand colored Dutch card (also not mine)
4. I’m predicting this ex voto will be one of my top favorite new additions to my collection this year 🥰
5. Detail from Hilma af Klint’s “The Dove: No. 08, Group IX/UW, No. 32,” 1915. She described her alter ego as Saint George. Initially a nickname given to her by her lover, Sigrid Lancén, in 1913.
6. One of many allegorical illustrations for The Heart of Man: Either Temple of God or Habitation of Satan, of which there have been many versions over the centuries. Prints from a turn of the century version coming to you soon. 🤍
7. I also found you two very large honeycomb valentine hearts & arrows from the 1930s. This is the SMALL one.
8. A gift from who may not be active here anymore but still sells on Etsy- She has the most wonderful eye for antique paper.
9. On the wishlist: Antique Jeu du bayard card deck
10. 15th century woodcut of a sacred heart with Christ’s side wound, printed in large quantities and sold to pilgrims. Somebody on pinterest says they were given to pilgrims who were ritually stabbed by the lance relic at Nuremberg- Can neither confirm or deny but it tracks 😂 See: Art historian David S. Areford
The latest shop update is live and it’s a BIG one with over 40 new pieces. It’s a roundup of everything you love from Roses & Rue: The sacred, the profane, the exquisite, and the spooky. 👻 Loaded with spring flea and Brimfield finds- the antiquing gods were good to us! Some favorites this week:

1. Seven antique silver ex votos sold individually
2. Early 20th century print of Albert Joseph Pénot‘s “Départ pour le Sabbat,” painted in 1910.
3. Three sets of midcentury vintage n00d p1nup cards: This is from the extra large set.
4. Vintage chalkware statues of Saint Thérèse de Lisieux & a gorgeous p1nup from the same era
5. Four sets of early Victorian, hand colored calling cards are available in addition to lots more Victorian paper
6. Antique alabaster bust of Mary
7. The best Victorian lace paper cross I’ve seen. Done on black velvet
8. Judge Magazine, a satirical publication from the 1800s & early 20th century. This is the Broadway Issue from 1923 & I picked it for its killer cover
9. Large format 18th century French risquée print entitled “La Crainte” (The Fright).
10. Antique handmade Victorian mourning bonnet

Spending the rest of the day getting caught up on orders! I got very sidetracked this week by Brimfield shenanigans. I’ll do my best to stop by the Salem Flea later this week to add some new finds.
I don’t have to miss it because it lives with a friend now 🤍 And also I have my own! Let me know if you’d like me to find another one for the shop: Victorian wedding flower crown in shadow box.
This weekend’s shop update serves up a scintillating meeting of the restrained and the risquée. I’m both the angel & the devil on your shoulders. 💘 You can look forward to beautiful antique devotional objects, Victorian home decor, and er0tica dating from the 18th century to the 1980s. Previews:

1. & 2. Antique alabaster bust of Mary
3. Two vintage chalkware statues of St. Thérèse & a beautifully composed pinup from the same period, a favorite Brimfield find
4. La Crainte: 18th century French print of a woman startled by a voyeur in the middle of the night
5. Large format vinage p1nup playing cards. The mano cornuto keychain is up for grabs as well
6. Unusual Victorian hand vase made of painted milk glass
7. Just under the size of a record, this is a vintage program from the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris, an iconic burlesque venue since 1951. Trying to work out whether I can do a full Crazy Horse post without angering this app’s misogynist bots? 🤷🏻‍♀️
8. Miniature Victorian parian bust
9. 3 vintage playing cards decks with p1nup girls are on offer altogether

The update has sort of ballooned! You’re getting over 40 new pieces on Sunday- which is the kind of drop I used to be able to do on the regular before my life fell apart spectacularly a few years ago. 🥴 I’m excited to share everything with you. Set your alarms for 5/17 noon EST to see what’s new. 🤍
