Okay, so I recently have fallen in love with gray and yellow as a color scheme. What a lovely pair they make!! I think I first heard about this pairing in the description of a compelling outfit, and then next when I decided on the combination for a set of mugs that are being printed with my Fox and Crab design as I write! So pretty.

I was just introduced to the fantastic Scandinavian artist Bjorn Wiinblad. His work is very beautiful and sweet.

I bought a few of these scalloped window boxes for the front of my house. They’re really cute and well-made. Take a look at Hooks and Lattice for more…

Yesterday, my hero, Mr. Charley Harper passed away. This talented animal artist was 84 years old and had enjoyed a very successful career as an illustrator. He’s known for his unique style; a beautiful blend of minimal realism and graphic abstraction.

Recently, Todd Oldham collaborated with Mr. Harper on a soon to be released book

Mr. Harper, you’ll be missed.

This is a photo from the early spring; I had planted black and white tulips in the back yard. They sprang up after the last snow and lasted about 2 weeks, but they looked lovely while they were around.

New House Pictures

Here are some updated pictures of my house. I’ve done quite a bit since the last time I posted.

Tiles I uncovered below some crappy home depot generic ones. All it took was a slim crow bar and some “goo be gone.” I couldn’t believe it.
