2009 proved to be another good year for MadSilence. November was our busiest month ever with 25,284 views. Week 46 of 2009 (November 8th to the 14th) witnessed 6,829 views. Our busiest day: Tuesday, December 15, 2009, with 1,199 views. Thanks to all our visitors, viewers and MadFriends.
2009 also provided a plethora of interesting sites for us to visit. Here are profiles of just a few. So much to experience on the World Wide Web and so little time to do it…
Check out the delightful graphics of San Francisco Art & Design Lover. The “Anatomical red Heart plush” sets the theme for MadSilence in 2010…we plan to feature a lot of amazing textile art.
Six Orange Carrots is cutesy & fun, dedicated to “my very small chicken named Pocket. And the very silly things I fall in love with on eBay.” The “art of the hitch-y tchotchke” made us big fans of tin toy collectibles.
And speaking of tin toy collectibles, the blog The Invisible Agent continues to engage & astound, introducing us to Replogle Globes and vintage Children’s Tin Globe Toys.
Garden History Girl addresses an unusual topic, the history of the garden. Garden history “…is in fact a serious and scholarly ‘field’ of study; [...] much like architectural history, only about landscapes instead of buildings. [...] gardens were–are–so much more than just a pretty place. So much more than just a collection of plants. I hope to share what, and why, with this blog.” Check out the Garden of Caterpillars.
For those of us who love landscapes there is Some landscapes, a site that “concerns landscapes evoked, depicted or transformed in the arts: painting, literature, music, film, etc. It also discusses the creation or alteration of landscapes by architects, artists and garden designers.” We’ve always been great fans of landscape art.
Finally, there’s Found in Mom’s Basement, a site dedicated to “Vintage advertising — found in my mother’s basement, flea markets and various corners of the Internet — dusted off and displayed for your viewing pleasure.” Be sure to view the Soviet-era holiday cards.
Be sure to visit these sites, you’ll be glad you did, and tell them that “MadSilence sent me!”

Thought I’d try here as well as facebook.
Hey,
So, I haven’t heard from you, and I’m only going to be in Kyoto tomorrow. I have a tour in the morning, and then I’ll be wandering around from 1 – 9. I don’t have a plan, but I have a map. You can show me the nice places to go. Otherwise, unless you wanna trek to Tokyo Thursday (Think we’re doing the Gibli museum that day), then I won’t be seeing you. I don’t have your number, or I’d call you. Here’s mine (Katie’s, actually, but I’m using it tomorrow).
0901-213-7129
Hope to hear from you tonight or tomorrow.
