Annawili Highfield

I'm opposed to keeping birds as pets, but I would definitely keep several of these paper bird sculptures. More of Annawili's talent can be seen at her site.

Also, I've changed things up a it around here seeing as its this little blog's 4 year anniversary this week. I'm in the process of making tweaks ere and there. Hopefully you like it!

Post Family

Prints, shirts and more available at online shop of Chicago based The Post Family. "Happy Annual Special Day" is a fave of mine!

Derriere Restaurant

I love the idea of a restaurant made to feel like someone's home, like Derriere in Paris. There looks like so much to explore, complete with different rooms...and table tennis! The NYTimes recently did a review on it as well with more great photos.

Sight Unseen

I could spend waaaay too much time on the wonderful website Sight Unseen. It profiles creative people/projects/studios, etc. If you're feeling uninspired, pop over there and browse. Quick fix for a creative block!

Ladies' Choice

Seeing as it's International Women's Day, I thought I'd post a little something on several early 20th Century women I've been reading about lately who are pretty cool, as well as inspiring.
