Typically I am not a fan of Slag glass, but I thought these were especially nice.  
Tumblers by Challinor, Taylor and Company 1870-1890.  Via Blaaargh.

I spotted these beautiful water glasses while at dinner at Blaue Gans on Friday night. 
I was surprised to see such a delicate glass at a restaurant.

I didn't look through everyone.. but from what I did see this was my absolute favorite.  
I thought Stella McCartney was perfection all the way down to her pointy white soled 
shoes.

Kind of a stalker moment, but I usually walk past her studio on my way home from 
work... I think she was painting this one day.

On Sunday I went to the much anticipated (well, at least I was anticipating it) Frieze Art 
Fair. The atmosphere was refreshing. Among the many pluses of the day.. the way they 
brought in the natural light from the structure's translucent ceiling made a big difference. 
They did a good job on the food too. Definitely going back next year.

I have found a few different kinds of masks from Charles and Ray Eames.  Some of 
their masks are more complex, these are the simplest that I have found.  I like them 
all, but these are my favorites. There is something nice about the flatness, it looks like 
cut paper collage

LIGHT MY FIRE

According to Feng Shui, I needed more fire energy. I have too much water and wood. 
To balance this, I should wear more red.  I don't really wear red so my idea was 
maybe a ring?  I found this incy wincy garnet ring at Ted Muehling by Gabriella Kiss. 
Im also going to make a dozen dark pink panties.  That should give me good fire.

NIKKI COUPPEE

Sometimes I like the things around me to be asymmetrical. I never think about 
earrings, but this combination is nice. If you think about them like bedside tables... 
Do you really want them to match?

I think the proportions of this couch are so interesting.  The height of the back and the 
arm in comparison to  the shallow seat.. and the legs are the most amazing.  I can't 
tell if I would like it or not but definitely intriguing.  Circa 1950

Untitled (Mask) Lot 352.

Collage of cut paper might be my favorite kind of art to create.  Saul Steinberg is best 
known for his illustrations for The New Yorker, however I am much more drawn to this 
paper cutout collage with pen and tape.

MY KIND OF DISNEY

I can't imagine where in Disney this must be. Maybe behind the scenes? So dreamy...

Happy Earth Day!!

I had never looked at this symbol as something that started off as a simple beautiful 
line drawing. From American Home Magazine. March 1971




RECYCLED ART

CARS.jpg

Last weekend my boys and I went to my parents house.. For lack of many toys and 
things to do, we usually make art.  We ran out of paper- so the boys took their  old art 
and made collages out of them. They look like cars and trucks to me, however I was 
corrected. The big ones that look like trucks are actually motorcylces... the others are 
in fact cars.

Not so much of a flower girl.. lately I have had a thing for flowers/ flower patterns.  It's 
nice how the light comes through the translucent petals and gives the outline. Spread
from Takashi Homma's book Nursery.

I usually prefer to wear a classic horizontal stripe but I like this messy interpretation.. 
The black/white and navy/white color combination is another interesting detail.

This silhouette is amazing. I love how delicate the top is in comparison 
to the chunky bottom, and the two tone color combination is perfect and 
interesting. This color will most likely look awful on me, but I'm hoping 
Barneys carries this shoe and in a different color.

I want these.. I don't know which one I want more.  I'm obsessed with the whole 
collection. I like them because they are similiar to how I draw.
