Jenna Lyons will be on Oprah today. Should be interesting. Glad we have cable tv at the office, we’ll be tuning in!
(thank you La Dolce Vita)
city or country?
July 16, 2008
I hate to snag pictures at the expense of someone else’s hardwork, but I think Joni will forgive me? The highest form of flattery, right? Joni, you are sooooo good, and I had to share!
Joni has profiled two fabulous movies this week… go check her out!
Did you see the movie The Holiday? It’s one of those movies (like Somethings Gotta Give) that the interior of the houses had me watching the movies over and over.
Ironically, I could seriously see myself living in either one of these houses!
So, which house would you pick… city or country?? Do tell!
Love movie sets, fabulous houses? Like Father of the Bride!? Check out Silverscreen Surroundings!
creative overload
July 14, 2008
I want to be in art classes again. I want to take a photography course. I want to paint and draw.
I need a vacation.
Since a vaca isn’t an option instead I watched my PBS Art in the 21st Century (Vol I & II) videos yesterday. It was rainy, so I closed the shades and snuggled up with the pups and some popcorn*, and was completely enthralled by these videos. The selection of artists was varied and so intriguing. I want to do a separate post on each of the artists, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day. Some highlights…
I bought the videos to see the tour of Walton Ford’s studio… but I paused it right as it got to his segment. I was tired and wanted to be alert when I watched (so I could soak it all in)… so I’ll review that later this week.
In other news… I finalized mats & frame for my matchbooks. Framing 15 pages separately (including the cover page of the scrapbook)… mounting the pages on soft black, shadowbox relief, then ivory mat in foreground, black oak frame with nice relief to the wood grain… whatcha think??
Thanks again to Mr. Burns for a sweet collection of matchbooks… I bet he never dreamed someone would find his 70 year old Boy Scout project at a flea market and be really excited about framing it!?
*- the popcorn: Archer Farms (from Target) White Cheddar & Rosemary (you know, already popped and in a bag)… it was the best ever, I highly recommend it.
