I was lost, but now I’m found. I couldn’t decide what to hang in my living room above the couches until last night when I stumbled upon this:
It’s the Marimekko Lumimarja design by Erja Hirvi. It’s sold by the yard (54″ by 36″) at textile arts.

Friday, July 28th, 2006Favorite Philadelphia Places
Thursday, July 27th, 2006If you’re visiting Philadelphia as some friends of mine recently did (which forced me into thinking about this), you might want to check out the following:
1. JoMar Fabrics in North Philadelphia (Take the Eastbound Frankford EL line to the Tioga Stop and follow the JoMar sign on the huge building on I street)
This place is full to the brim with cheap fabric. The upholstery fabric is the best deal at $4.99 per yard.
2. Salsolito on South Street (602 South Street to be exact).
The very best burritos in the city. My personal fave is the Garbazos on the veggie menu.
3. Ikea on Columbus Ave.
Duh.
4. Govinda’s Gourmet to Go on South and Broad.
The best vegetarian cheesesteaks in the world. Get the Chicken Cheesesteak on Wheat bread. Please!!
5. Photo Process and Screen Supply on Berks Street in North Philly.
Take the Eastbound Frankford EL line to Berks St. Head about 4 blocks West and you’ll see a warehouse of Screen supplies. It’s awesome.
6. Gleaner’s Cafe in the Italian Market (9th and Christian)
My favorite hangout in the City.
7. Clark Park in West Philly.
A beautiful park in the West.
8. Rittenhouse Square on 19th and Walnut.
A center city must-visit.

Oh Joy Blog
Thursday, July 27th, 2006Have you guys seen the Oh Joy! Blog?It’s so good. There’s a lot of information about cool stuff for your house and design in general.
There was a really cool site that i saw a while back that featured a mirror with duck’s feet. It was so nice looking. I just can’t remember what the name was.
