i had a birthday party

and i got some fantastic things!  can’t wait to photograph and catalog the very specialness <3

 

burton @ MoMA oh yes!

untitled (the melancholy death of oyster boy and other stories)

i have been waiiittting for this!  saturday begins the tim burton exhibit at the modern museum of art – it will feature illustrations, photography, fiction + of course films <pee-wee’s big adventure!>  although the show runs through april, the films do not.  calendar for his films is here + influential creepy monster works are also scheduled, with calendar here.  luvya MoMA!

 

such a handsome feller

 

murphy

i love this guy!!  christine edwards – get your site running pleez

 

white-out

uncertain whether it’s the ocd cleanliness monster living within me  -or- if i am a plain lover of simplicity . . . either way i am particularly fond of white tableware.  i tend to favor sleek design that highlights the main star: food!  enter beautiful map plates from what on earth:

 

eat off europe

i picture them aligned geographically -not to mess up the integrity of the big picture- with *local* hors d’oeuvres .  guests would take their olives off of italy and place them on lovely indented plates – helpful for forks not to slip far.

 

grooveware

i adore the practicality and subtle design of the takito co., ltd. post party, tea or coffee would be served.  rather than stray far from our white whimsical wonderland – enter lee weilang:

 

tooth mug

not just creepy – but useful too<th>!  tea bag string cannot go far if you use it as floss or if you find this entire party theme to be unrealistic – it is approaching winter; you are cold and not inviting guests until spring bears new fruits and flowers.  wouldn’t a warm cup of soup <with crackers> be perfect?

 

$18.50 for two

available indivudally and in a duet from harriet carter.  finally, the last white dish is inspired by the great pyramids of nutrition : a lunchbox from yanko design

 

triangular lesson

by li jianye

those proportions don’t seem *quite* right.  those are some of my definite favorites.  any i missed? do they have more color?

 

film time

another folded paper movie – although this time, not music  <warning there’s male privates>

separate from the sometimes juvenile subject matter – i really enjoy the method.

 

it’s baaaaack!

coney island is back in new york’s control, hoorah!  after too many negotiations, excessive evictions and a sad summer season, the city and developer joe sitt finally reached an agreement last week.  mayor bloomberg, i can’t wait for next year!

prismPOP

eco-friendly // recycled <well not the sharpies>

hard <for me> to believe this week one year ago i put myself out there with prismPOP on ETSY : nuts.  it has certainly been a fun, educational, challenging, rewarding and creative journey.  to celebrate year one – i’m offering free shipping on everything in the shop <within the usa + maybe canada>  thanks for being there everyone!  much love. xx
