another chair post

Another chair post ... just because I'm really loving chairs these days.  Love this print + love the 20x200 concept [art for everyone] ...

Here's part of the description by the artist:

"Chairs, with help from our emotions and imaginations, convey personalities. By both design and circumstance they can look cheerful, jaunty, or sorrowful. High backed office chairs sit up with purpose, while green plastic lawn chairs lay back a bit as if it were always a lazy summer Saturday."

I didn't know it until I read this ... but I think this is why I love chairs!  I so wish I knew about this earlier because its sold out.  Bummer!

diana dreamer

I've also been thinking for a while of getting a Diana or Holga camera for a little photography fun.  This lovely version from Urban Outfitters might just take me over the edge in buying one ...

Love the color!

wish list

A few goodies I've been eyeing for myself recently ...

I especially like the Gap flats + old school mug.  The rest from: Antrho bag, Orla Kiely notebook + J.Crew cardigan.

A few tax return treats, perhaps? :]

orla kiely: paper!

I was excited to learn that Orla Kiely is coming out with a paper line when Mary sk*rted about them.  But now that I've seen the products, I'm super excited!  Can't wait to get my hands on these ...

digital slr, oh how i want

My friend took these photos of some invites I recently made with his SLR ...

It seriously makes me want to get one. The photos just seem so clear + light to me.  I have this camera which I love + bought it with careful consideration when the little one was born [wanted something between a basic point + shoot and an SLR] but now I'm thinking I should have gone the SLR route.

Sigh ... what to do.  But then again, any moms out there [or dads, or anyone for that matter] with an SLR ... do you find it bulky to use for your everyday?  I like to take my camera everywhere.

lovelies

Just found these felted lovelies [via small stump] ...

Think I may have to get some just to put on my desk.

xyron machine

So, I've never used a xyron machine but I know I would *heart* it.  This goes back to my love of office supplies   The xyron is one of those things I've thought about getting but don't want to spend the money on myself.  But I think the next time I want to treat myself to something, I will treat myself to a nice little xyron.  This is along the same lines [but of course wouldn't match up] to the new color printer I received for my bday this year from the husb.  I know, very nerdy, but that printer is one of my all-time favorite gifts.  To each his/her own, right? :)
