I'm inspired by these prints today. I hope you have a beautiful Friday and weekend.

Lonny

I love the new on line design magazine, Lonny. It's a beautiful treasure hunt on every page (and there are many pages), with links to so many sources built right in. Yey! Curl up on the bed with your trusty little laptop and enjoy!

ps!! Thanks go out to lovely Blair of Delight by Design for letting her readers, including me, know about Lonny this morning!

Products with Style

My sister sent me a link to this great website, Products with Style. Thanks, sister! I browsed, and found so many functional, attractive things. I love this Otto Wooden Fan. Most fans are so clunky or plastic, but this one is designed by a Swiss artist using African sapele wood. Wow. And, "Otto is whisper quiet even as he kicks up a gale..."
Products with Style offers many very practical goods (fans, cleaning products, socks, humidifiers) all with two things in common: they are useful and they have good design ...My favorites are, well, all of these. But I love the fan, of course. And the phantom bread basket... I am currently using a paper bag to serve bread. I could be using one of my pretty tea towels, or a cloth napkin that matches the table napkins! And I've never seen a more stylish, more minimalist humidifier than Oskar (the white cube). Humidifiers are absolutely essential here in the dry mountains, but they're usually not attractive. This one is both good-looking and functional. The Menu Black Contour Thermo Jug is also quite nice -- both casual and elegant at the same time.
Find all of these and so much more here.

Corner View :: White

When Eddie was about six weeks old (4 1/2 years ago!), I took this group of photos... White is so tough for me to photograph, and these are pretty dark, but I love this set. I also love white in design and have often posted with a white theme. I hope you click here (!!!) to browse my past white posts.
Now let's go visit all of this week's corner views...

Aspens

I hiked with friends today!

Entertaining

Happy Monday to you. It was a beautiful weekend here! Saturday evening, we had a few good friends over for Doug's Birthday. I get nervous, even having very good friends over, so we tried to have the house looking good. And I wanted it a little special for Doug's big day...I thought I'd share a few photos (which also makes me nervous) I took earlier that afternoon. I felt like our little home looked presentable, so I was able to relax and we had a great time!

Happy Friday and Leslie Hindman

Happy Friday and weekend to you. I love these pieces from the upcoming Leslie Hindman auction of fine furniture and decorative arts. The Japanese tsuba are new to me, and I like them for the metal, the folk art, the geometry, and the femininity (which seems anomalous in a sword guard). I also love the Chinese tomb figure. To me she's saying, "Just try to mess with me." And the pitcher and vase are simply sweet to me.
Find out more here: Silver Handled Pitcher, Seven Tsuba, Tang Style Ceramic Tomb Figure, Eight Tsuba, Rookwood Vase

It Feels Like Fall

I would like a warm bed and some tea, please.

Corner View: Out The Car Window

This week's corner view theme is out the car window...Last week, I believe I said the snow would fly soon. It has! I took these Monday while zipping around town. Not safe! But fun.
I am off to look at these other corner views here:

Snow

We've had some snow. I'm not sure if this is good or bad. I took these this morning...

Homemade Ice Cream

Grandma and Grandpa brought the old ice cream maker on Sunday! Is there nothing better than homemade ice cream?

Adoptabot on Etsy

I'm in love. Seriously. Adoptabot on Etsy. Love.Adoptabot found via Ohdeedoh. All photos from Adoptabot.

Sunday at the Farmers Market

Happy Monday to you. We spent yesterday morning at Vail's Farmers Market. It's more of a bazaar then a farmers market. It's fun to see what everyone's offering. I hope you enjoyed your days off!
