this beautiful image was taken by romy suskin (that's my dear and talented sister) and recently published on therumpus.net for an article written by antonia crane (a dear and talented friend of mine). you can read the article/interview and see more photographs here.



she is breathtaking, isn't she? i love, love, love that romy and antonia worked together on this column and am hoping to see many more collaborations between the two of them....so exciting!

SUSAN HENGST
i just love her. you know how sometimes you come across a local artist or designer that makes you feel proud to live in the same city as they do? susan gives me san francisco pride (she also gives me ny pride since she is also based out of ny these days). susan is the loveliest person, radiates total kindness and has such extraordinary talent. she's basically magnificent. and i'm in LOVE with all of these pieces from her spring/summer line....

taking pictures of things on my daily walks has become a favorite part of my life. and it strikes me as funny that a photograph that may have been boring to me twenty years ago is no longer boring to me at all.

instead, it's like rainbows.





also beautiful and rainbow-like are tony's canning efforts:



see you tomorrow. i have to get back to sewing, no more distractions.

inspiration from the beautiful world of forty-sixth at grace. for one thing, her father skillfully hand-crafts these spoons, bowls and cake stands out of wood, while nikole photographs and sells them. and for another thing, just look at the sweet surroundings that she creates...

and i really really really want one of these cake stands, bowls or spoons to add to our wooden bowl collection.....one day.

out with my mom today, we stopped at the curiosity shoppe where i decided to steal a picture for kimberly...
