Wishlist Wednesday : RememberADay

With winter closing in, I'm just itching for some cozy things to wear. These leg warmers by RememberADay would satisfy that itch perfectly. They just look so soft and big and puffy and warm...mmmmm! Not to mention that I am very attracted to the carefully selected autumn color palette of red, brown, and golden yellow. They represent the perfect balance of bright color and quiet neutrals.

And a good pair of leg warmers makes for a good excuse to wear skirts and shorts through the winter as well!

A Treasury for a Tuesday : The Cheese Stands Alone

I was lucky enough to avoid the experience of having mice in my home until the summer of 2010. I lived in a house that was practically the woods and a lovely little finally of rodents found solace in our central air conditioning system. And our counters. And our pantry. And, for one of the babies, a party of drunken college students (I don't think he found an solace though, mostly terror).

I had a few mouse related encounters over the past few days. There's nothing like having one of these little critters sneaking around your space : they're cute and all, but I could do without them eating my food and shitting on my counters.

Wishlist Wednesday : StudioZen

This Etsy seller from Tacoma, WA speaks to my passions for painting, modernist design, and eastern philosophy. The triptych below speaks to the meditative line work of Brice Maden as well as Pollack's free from drips, but implies more planning and consideration as it is well organized around the circular orbs. It is difficult to tell which aspect of the painting (line work vs orbs) determines the other; they communicate with each other very well and one could not exist without the other. Both composition and color palette effortlessly offers a calming energy.
