plant on my porch from Flora Grubb

Design Sponge Summer newspaper

drawing/collage in progress

Here's what's in front of me this weekend: Gorgeous plant I got at Flora Grubb early this summer. Unfortunately, I can't recall the name of it, but it certainly likes it's home in a pot on my porch. Can't get enough of the new Design Sponge Summer Newspaper with a feature on Serena Mitnik-Miller. And lastly, detail of a new drawing/collage I am working on. I have a pile of work to make for an upcoming show and I have lots of marks to make. I am trying a few new things which always feels a little strange. For the time being I will grab my pens, pencils, needle and thread and continue on.

plant rescues. awaiting the right container.

Conran's The House Book. so many favorite images.

Here are some things I am looking at this weekend. We got a set of those cups from Calistoga Pottery, one of my favorite places in Napa Valley. I always try to get something from there every time we visit Calistoga. Grab your own copy of Terence Conran's The House Book from the 1970's while you still can. Last time I checked there weren't as many copies available from online book sellers but I have spotted them at a handful of hip boutiques in SF.
