Yes this little blog is sorely neglected, but then again, I'm not really a blogger, just a kleptomaniac of images that make me smile...
I escaped Winter and exchanged it for a desert wind, and I can even smell a lemon tree in the backyard.
This week was eclectic with an army ceremony, a party for a brand new Amitai , and a tango concert...
eclectic is good.

Folk Object

Folk Object is an "ongoing collection of ornament & utility" curated by graphic designer Clifton Burt. The wooden birds are by artist Sanna Annukka who's equally captivating screen prints and lithographs deserve a post of their own.

global warming is a hoax

this is pretty much how I feel at the moment.

100 shades of gray

I read somewhere that the human eye is capable of recognizing around 100 different shades of gray... Here in Leipzig I think I've seen them all. In general I find that January is long cold and uncalled for, but as it will probably be around for a while I've been hoarding inspiration in colorful interiors

via living etc. and marie claire maison.

It's been snowing for days and if this blizzard continues I will need a snow plow to get out

a few good flea market moments

Mauer Park is one of my favorite Berlin flea markets. you can buy anything from old GDR paraphernalia to half chewed gum. and the people watching is sublime.
Don't let the sunny images fool you though - that's long gone. now the days are over before they begin and the only consolation is Glühwein (mulled wine) at the christmas markets across town

3 tours

a parisian home on design sponge



a rustic modern loft on A.T




and a great studio tour of "SchubLaden" , Berlin



house tours are one of my weaknesses- here are a few good ones from across the web. click on through the links to have a look

graphic design

great graphic design from the mid-60's ,Israel

shoot

Mad Men is fabulous for lots of obvious reasons but it just got that much better as I watched Betty Draper shoot her neighbor's birds with a BB gun

{from "shoot" - season 1,episode 9}

thoughts for the weekend

because everybody should have Rorschach art in there home

and because bird houses as bedside tables make so much sense

and the Togo. because in a perfect world it would already me mine,and spending rent money on designer sofas would not be ethically questionable

wanderlust

One too many gray days can leave you highly susceptible to a severe case of wanderlust... so looking at old travel photos is sort of like taking your vitamins
