Look what I bought/got

wedding couple $25.00

wedding1

Just bought this lovely old framed picture for $25.00 at an antique/junk store near my house. What caught my eye was the masculine features of the bride (she’s got big feet too). The groom is totally hot too! Looking lovely in the hallway.

my new vintage kiddie chair


morris & co willow wallpaper by sanderson

£42.00 per roll? Found an unused roll @ value village for $5.99 cad. SCORE!

An update version of the original forerunner to the Willow Boughs wallpaper, with russet and red leaves on a dark beige background.


just bought this “cheese” bag by jump from paper (@ studio brillantine)

Seriously Ridiculous!

JumpFromPaper™ is a playful and innovative line of handbags created by Taipei-based design duo, Chay Su and Rika Lin.

One cozy afternoon, the two girls were chatting, when they got to sketching their dream designer handbag. A surprising idea popped up – “How amazing it would be if a two-dimensional hand-drawn illustration could come to life as a real bag!” They explored every possibility, rendering fantasy handbags in perspective, and giving birth to JumpFromPaper™.

Cartoon-like outlines and bright and cheerful colors add a brisk yet funky flavor. And despite the slim appearance, each JumpFromPaper™ bag has a roomy interior to accommodate personal belongings and even a laptop.

JumpFromPaper™ takes handbag design on a new journey, ready to twist people’s view!

cullen meyer’s AWESOME pad (via NYTimes, photos by bruce buck)

CULLEN MEYER began collecting 1950s décor at 12, starting with a lamp adorned with the face of a Nubian princess (he goes in for kitsch), and by the time he turned 25, two years ago, he harbored the great dream of any collector: finding a place to display his stuff.

the joy of books

“After organizing our bookshelf almost a year ago, my wife and I decided to take it to the next level. We spent many sleepless nights moving, stacking, and animating books at Type bookstore in Toronto. Everything you see here can be purchased at Type Books. Grayson Matthews generously composed the beautiful, custom music. But none of it could have been done without all the volunteer hands who shelved and reshelved books all night, every night.”
