Pretty Montana

Hi. Popping in to show you an idyllic spot just outside of Livingston, Montana. Ahhh, if we win the lottery...

This is beautiful Crow Hollow Ranch. And how I'd love to spend some time here!
From the broker's website: "This majestic property...encompasses diverse topography which includes 478 acres (198 +/- deeded, 280 +/- leased), over a half mile of Suce Creek, mature aspen stands, ancient cottonwoods, grassy meadows, lush forest, and mountainous elevations tucked privately into a dramatic valley.
"Bordered to the east by Gallatin National Forest, and BLM lands to the north and south, the ranch attracts large populations of moose, deer, and many other species of wildlife [hmmm... me thinks grizzlies and mountain lions??!], while providing convenient access to over 900,000 acres of wilderness. Virtually surrounded by magnificent mountains, [and] just 8 miles to downtown Livingston..."
I hope the weekend is happy for you. We're away tomorrow to Telluride for a few days. Catch you when we're back. Thank you so much for your kind comments on yesterday's post and for visiting this week.

Nadine Sage

Happy Monday! Was the weekend good? Ours was relaxed, with only a few trips out of the home! We did visit a terrific art show in town and I found this lovely little decoupage glass tray made by Colorado Springs artist Nadine Sage...

I'm so pleased with it, and I really liked Nadine too. We chatted for a bit; she told me she is originally from Prince Edward Island, hence the sweet seagull subject matter of my tray. Nadine has a beautiful website featuring her original papier collé artwork, her belt buckles and trays. Here are some of the works I loved:

She also has a gorgeous blog that's right up my alley. Do go have a look!

Today I Went to the Eye Doctor

for the first time in 24 years! And my eyes are perfect. Yay. Except part of me would like glasses. I do need sunglasses, so I had some fun looking through the pairs on 1st Dibs.

I think the aviators are great, and I love all the vintage Puccis. They're all sold, but give me ideas. I don't think I could wear the Chanels, but I still wanted to put them here. I saw the last pair at a Leslie Hindmann auction not long ago. Love them too. Happy Tuesday!

Kickstarter: Lille Huset

Hi all. Happy Thursday. Do you know of Kickstarter? It's a site connecting artists with financial backers for their potential, creative projects. I just backed Alyson Beaton's Lille Huset. She's looking to kick start her business creating modular dollhouses. I think her work is very cool, so I invested a little bit, and I receive a sweet bike and mini dollhouse for my donation... I'm pretty sure they'll be a hit -- Eddie will use the house with his Lego guys and we'll all fight over the bike. I love Kickstarter. It's how Minka came to be, and was also how Laura Brown, one of my favorite printmakers, funded some of her work. Check it out.

Beautiful Weekend

I hope you have a beautiful winter weekend. Isn't this perfect? Found through Lonny...Red Barn in Snowstorm by Erica Peerenboom. For purchase here.
Thank you so much for visiting me here this week and for your comments. They make my day!

Jultomten

At least that's what I think he is.He's one of my new favorites, found with Eddie one special day around Christmas last year.

Horsey Stuff: Oughton Limited

I grew up riding and showing horses. At this time of year especially, I get the itch to be transported, to be competing at the beautiful Spring horse shows I knew in my youth. So it's superfluous to say I'm fond of equestrian stuff. I love everything I see at Oughton Limited: the "quiet, classic chic" bags, the styling, the inspiration, and the story. Daphne Markcrow, Oughton's founder is horsewoman herself and has style in her blood. Love it all...
Happy, happy Wednesday!

Coffee for Me, Please

Auction: Wright Modern Design

Happy Thursday. And Happy St. Patrick's Day! It's snowing here and I'm a bit under the weather again. But it's sweet and uplifting to see my little one excited about this lucky holiday, off to kindergarten all in green, looking for the results of last night's leprechaun foolery in the classroom.
I've been browsing some auctions and today I have some of my favorites from Wright's Modern Design auction coming up March 31st. I think this first one is fantastic...
and these are pretty great, too:An Erik Hoglund candelabra, a Guido Gambone vase, a Peter Muller-Munk Normandie pitcher, a Joseph-Andre Motte lamp, a collection of Rosenthal vases, two Pierre Jeanneret console tables, a Moroccan rug, and a Jean Prouve table. There are many more pieces in this one that I love. Go to Wright's site to see them all.
