lily of the valley
May is the month for these pretty little things. They are starting to pop up everywhere, so go find them and smell them and love them. Also, it’s the national flower of Finland. What’s more to like?
remarks.
simplicity
Without question; the best design is the simple design when it comes to all things great. I think that restraint and control are the hardest simplicities to accomplish. They often take the longest time to conceptualize and install. Simple, controlled environments can verge on cold without that simple creative touch to warm it up. The best [...]
dandelions
I came across this installation recently that sent me over the edge with joy and absolute “coolness”. Tampopo means Dandelion in Japanese. As we all know, blowing a seeded dandelion requires making a wish first before spewing your air onto them. Its universal this folklore…its really nice. Now, I know the majority of people who [...]
I hate people
Someone over the weekend came in our studio and stole my camera and one of our printers. Whoever the person is can go eat a big pile of poo! I’m not happy. So if you are thinking of stealing something… DON’T. If it’s not yours, don’t touch it! Have a pleasant day. I know I [...]
all simple things
Have you ever been to Muji? I have not personally been there but have drooled over products my friends have brought back from Muji while in Europe. Recently Muji opened their doors in NYC with three stores. Guess what they’ve gone and done now… They opened an online store for the USA. I can’t wait [...]
my secret garden center
Have you ever fallen in love with a store? I love shopping, so I have lots of favorite stores. But my favorite garden and plant store has got to be City Escape. It’s not in the easiest place to get to with out a car but totally worth the trip. Today I bought a stevia [...]
i like this
Easy centerpiece: Remove blooms from their stems, arrange flowers to create a mosaic in a low container or series of containers, place in the center of a table. Done.
eggs
I love brown eggs. And, with only 3 hours of your time and a bit of wire,panty hose,onions, boiling water and vinegar, you too can love dyed brown eggs. Admittedly, these are pretty cool.
Tulips!
The saga continues in so many homes and minds regarding the short lived happy tulip.No flower lives for long, including tulips. Thats the beauty of it. Tulips droop – thats what they do because the head gets heavy with water. Tulips, when put in warm water, perk straight up and grow, thats what they do. If [...]
Beauty is in season.
One of my favorite things ever is in season. DOGWOOD! This dogwood was so pretty this morning I just had to take a picture.
