(via it's nice that)

also, two of my favorite people say some interesting things

if you are in new york city (or will be soon), you must must must go have some super excellent stollen from balthazar. i can't get over how good it is, really.

i don't usually post about ebay
(even though i am a big ebay nerd)
but i'm so sad about this loss...

oh i like this beautiful coat (from a slightly unexpected place)

just some things:

to-kichi

karen kimmel
(drawings and clusters)

serge mouille

lo-fi portland

miles davis
...get your jazz lesson

(photo scanned from a magazine clipping stolen from my husband - if you know the photographer, please let me know, so i can give proper credit)

+ i like aerials in varoom magazine

+ a lot of interesting books

+ good luck, i love you

also, does anyone know if this will be in new york city next year?
or did i miss it? i hope not.

i like these pieces by ole wanscher

right now i'm sort of into the look of marble as an accent.
this inexpensive cheese tray has the look of carrara without the price and while it's beautiful as a cheese tray, add some brackets and a few of these might make some really beautiful shelves for a small kitchen or bathroom.

oh i had no idea!


makie makes gloves for grown-ups too
(available at auto)
and
dullsville has closed
...but this is good news
and
to all my new friends at blueprint: i'm so very sad to see the magazine go, it was so inspiring and beautiful. but i am glad to know that the blog will still continue.

rondo stoneware by katarina andersson

elsewhere:
+ quite possibly the most perfect dress
+ very well said

provenance unknown
(apparently i have the same problem)

i finally get around to properly checking my blog e-mail and this really interesting piece from geoff mcfetridge shows up. it's beautiful (and yes, expensive). i just really love the idea of laser etching on a wood block. i would love to see wood blocks/spheres with not just illustrations, but also patterns burned into them too.

oh what a great new shop i discovered through mav today...
so many nice things
i love this felt baby swing by mohr polster
(oh and the carrier too)

tortoise has some really beautiful new things

two new favorites are here and here

two old favorites are here and here

last night, i went to carnegie hall to listen to philip glass and his ensemble play a concert version of his ground-breaking collaboration with robert wilson, the opera einstein on the beach. it really was one of the most amazing concert experiences i've ever had. while i listen to the cd set occasionally and have always been a fan of the work, the music has such a different dimension live. you can hear so much more of the variation and texture. it was such an inspiring evening.

it requires you to truly listen...

i love this work

oh and did you know that i'm over here today?

more of the aalto house
...my favorite house

vessels by nathalie derouet

ceramic sea urchins by claire palastanga

oh and many many warm congratulations to fanja and her family!
