EP 39 - Erin Pipgras aka Farre11kat

The Mothball Prophecies

This week we meet Erin Pipgras, builder of houses and liver of vintage lover pipe dreams. She built a house for herself designed specifically around housing her collections. This bears repeating in case that seemed a bit too fictional: She built an entire house. For herself. Designed specifically around housing her collections. If your jaw isn't dropping then you aren't listening. Vintage aqua appliances, atomic starbursts, slanted cabinets, mid-century furniture in every room, NEARLY HAIRLESS CATS. Erin recounts a story of meeting and falling head over heels for some amazing garage sale finds, the kind you only come across once in a lifetime. They kind you store in your mom's basement for way too many years before being able to put them in your own home. It's enough to make you tear up, so get a hankie or napkin or something. You might also cry from laughing at Jill's tale of cat allergies and Sam's impersonation of a feline Jigsaw (coming soon in the cat-themed Saw remake, "Paw"). If you take nothing else away from this fab interview, you'll at least feel a burning need to visit Wisconsin to eat brats while garage sale hopping. That may be one of the most midwestern sentences in existence. Get ready to feel jealous, happy, sad for a minute, and then laugh uncontrollably. This episode will allow you to feel the full spectrum of emotions.
