A beautiful photo showcasing hand-crafted wood vessels by Etel Carmona for Espasso. I love the warm wood against the snowy picture window.

...Monographs...

I picked up Abelardo Morell's Monographs yesterday and it's Beautiful. He does a lot of great work, projecting upside-down cityscapes on interior spaces with a camera obscura, and taking beautifully detailed black and whites of old books. Truly a master of light, which all great photographers must be!

...Let there be Light...

The German trio that comprises LICHTFAKTOR composes some of the most amazing photos I have ever seen with various lights and a slow shutter speed.

If these guys lived in the states I would be camped out on their front lawn. Not in a creepy way... ok, maybe just a little. ;)

Their flickr site is a MUST-SEE and they update often!

...The Peking Noodle Co. Says...

So I started my first blog today! After my first couple posts, I was high on design fumes and decided to grab a bite on Sawtell @ Little Hong Kong Cafe. This was my fortune.

I hope the lovely designs to follow will make you as happy as they make me from day to day.

...Felty Goodness...

Yummy gray felt pouches from Working Class Heroes. Available through Etsy.

I put the camera case and ipod pouch on my x-mas list already. =)
