A friend forwarded me this top work knowing I would be impressed. The creator, Jen Stark, sculpts paper patterns of repetition inspired by illustrations found in a medical book. The multicolored works challenge infinity and echo patterns found in nature. All hand cut, the sense of time and patience it would take to complete a piece is truly quite remarkable.

This Alberta Ferretti ad spotted on Gilt Group is divine! The perfect mix of soft feminine clothing with an industrial, artistic background. I love the off-center positioning and the doorway allows for great contrast to the clothing. A stunning vision.

This collage of black and white photos is so cool! I don’t know if I would have the patience to start something like this but I am absolutely in awe of how fabulous it looks.

Loving this mood board spotted on The Style Files. I am constantly pinning up inspiration pieces for projects on smaller boards but this life size board could host it all in one place and even serve as decoration in my workspace. De-clutter my mind and space…amazing!

is my new name. Sorry I have been away with no warning, I did not realize getting internet in my new place would take so long!  I promise to put up treats this weekend.

In the meantime check out ‘Bazooka an album’ created by Livy of  ‘A Field Journal’, how sweetly she remembers a best friend lost.  Spotted on The Blah, Blah, Blahg. Oh how this touched my heart…thinking of you Fluffy.

As I was home celebrating Thanksgiving with my family, I loved reminiscing about my childhood, as well as, all the family stories prior to my birth. I am always curious to hear how my parents were raised and their parents and so on and so on.  The Blah, Blah, Blahg brought to my attention My Parents Were Awesome created by Eliot Glazier, a site perfect for taking a peak at the past. This site showcases vintage photographs of parents before they were actually parents. In honor of their awesomeness, check out my parents below and a few of my favs from My Parents Were Awesome.
