I am currently working on a dental office and found these fantastic vintage dental posters on ebay. They would make a fun series in a hallway, lavatory, or office room, no?
This last one would be great for a children's section!
Since I'm talking about girlfriends today...here's a shot of Pam's family room where our husbands are focused, deeeeeeeply focused on creating a win for the Tar Heels. Nick's t-shirt says, PUKE by the way...I now know that is a dig at Duke university and their little basketball club. 5 years ago...not so much. Life in the OC (Ouray County) is full of sports talk and I'm getting used to it...slowly. Wonder if they minded the camera going off during all those big touchdowns,er goals...hole in ones?
Who needs a new spring Trench coat when you could get this little sweet pea of a waterproof dress? One of my girlfriends has had one for a few seasons and EVERY TIME she wears it I coo. Do I need one of my own? No. Do I want one like a the octomom wants more stretch marks? YES!
Hmmmmm which color?
I am so enamored by these little eensy weesny art installations by Slinkachu. 
This is called "Crappy Christmas." A little dark I suppose but come on, the little piece of holly looks innocent enough...until you take a closer look.
I realize I'm not the first to scoop this quaint little news items, but did I have to hear it on NPR's Morning Edition first?
Plates at the Barbie restaurant.
J. A. 's sketch of Barbie's bedroom.
Anyone remember the story David Sedaris tells of arranging his mothers cigarettes into a beautiful star shape on the coffee table? It reminds me of this mirror. I have a friend who, by mistake, painted a room "barbie tan beige"...all she needs is this little gem and she'll be set.
Babs, Sweet Pea, honey girl, the same pair over and over? I'm worried. ( You'd think the chandelier would have caused a red flag...)I had no idea that among your many titles and roles you were also the spokesperson for obsessive/compulsive disorders...I mean really, variety is the spice of life my friend. Branch out a little. 
Consider removing just 1 article...a silver pouf, perchance?
This Sunday begins the time honored and utterly annoying Day light Savings Time. "Spring forward" your clocks my friends, you're going to be late for church on Sunday...well not me; I attend the Church of St. Mattress...but that is neither here nor there. 
I just love these though...a gentle reminder spring is around the corner...and it could be in the palm of your hand. Check out Small Stump. I love the mast head they use on their site... a little Andrew Goldsworthy, no?
Sweet and simple stumpies!
Sculpture!
Baskets!
More sculpture!
Objects!
Oh, the sculpture!
and even some baby love for the tiniest modernists!
I know, I know, I'm always saying I found a new favorite but this time, Oh I really, really mean it today!
I had a heckuva time trying to capture some of their items in my pics file but these 3 lovelies held my gaze...and my "save as" function. I love these bottles. I mean, really!
Autumn LED twinkly light...I am tempted to have one for all four seasons and hang them outside my patio!! Blossoms for spring, flowers for summer, icicles for now!
Perhaps you've heard...Lindal Cedar Homes have partnered with Joel Turkel to create modern, 21st century homes! In their 2009 catalog Turkel has created a really amazing series that we are just twitterpated about! Dwell has a great Q& A with him here.
Wow! I'm not used to winning contests! Crow and Canary announced another really cute give from {This is glamorous}. A fun little company called Jezabel. The designs below are just a few of the amazing and whimsical prints available... The titles are the best though, check them out ! There is even a store right here in colorful Colorado called
I love, love, love to curl up on a Sunday morning and read the New York Times cover to cover, love it. This morning I didn't finish the whole thing. I didn't get to the magazine, the travel section, or the entire book review- I never open the sports, simply glancing at the front and back cover usually tell me all I could possibly want to know. I already "fear the Turtle" and understand refs refuse to see Duke's travelin' ways....my dear husband fills me in on this sweet meat of sports trivia. Oh ya, I am also aware the Broncos might be losing one of their most celebrated to another team. Whatever, I think I met my sporto quota of the decade.
My favorite little guilty pleasure is always the Modern Love column. You never know who the author of these short, and usually bitter sweet, essays will be...sometimes famous, sometimes not so much. I am usually as attracted to the graphic as to the story itself. This graphic was online only. The paper version was very different and a bit sad. Jane Alison was featured today with her haunting tale about parents and their reckless and sometime selfish behavior and the children who are often caught in the wake. It reminded me a little of a book called blackbird whose author I can't recall.
As I admitted, I didn't get to read the whole N.Y. Times book Review only a chaaaaaarming review of a new biography on that wacky little bird Fannery O'Connor. I think She may have been celibate her whole life, which makes me shiver...but hey, the fact that I do not understand her ways may have given her a shiver too. Nah, probably not.
I have a great and sincere fondness for performance art and so when I read about this Taiwan born artist I was intrigued and moved by his nearly lifelong dedication to ideas, innovative thought, and evocative public art. He did several year long pieces. He once tied himself to another artist( 8 ft long rope) for an extended amount of time...they did this without touching each other. I'll be thinking of his patience and endurance for along time...not sure how long. I do have the attention span of a gnat I realize.
