Just DO it!

(photo from site's title)

Last week, I added a new link to my favourites: Design Observer. A blog with a rotating staff of contributing writers, all about design and things cultural. Hmmm...sounds familiar. :) The writers that take part in this blog are extremely talented and do a fantastic job of drawing me in on the first paragraph. Today's post by Michael Erard called "Cedars" was simply beautiful. Then again, the guy has a writing fellowship, so he should be good. There was also a post by Ernest Beck reviewing the Bklyn Designs show that stimulated a very hot debate- certainly evidence for a well written article. My Google Reader is chock-full of design blogs, but they are more about interior decorating. This one is more about design as a whole, be it graphic, furniture, art, etc. Pop over for a good read. 

Fresh Look for Spring!

The wisteria are in full bloom, two roses have shown their brilliant pink petals on the rose bush, and the honeysuckle flowers cover my fence. Spring is here! In honor of a new season with new life, we decided to change the layout of our blog. A few more changes to come in the very near future. Hope y'all like the new look! 

Add A Little Sunshine To Your Life

I found out about this darling little blog, thank you Daily Candy, called The Bright Side Project. Every day in March the author Tristan Shout Brando posts a question (i.e. "Where is the most beautiful place you have visited?" Or "What is your favourite memory as a child before the age of 10?") and an item you can win from a designer. You have a week to answer the question by posting a comment. If you're picked, you win that day's giveaway and your comment is posted on the page! So not only can you get free stuff, but you can read about uplifting and happy moments in peoples' lives. As her motto says, "Sunshine delivered daily" right to your computer! What a sweet and joyful ray in such trying and cloudy days.
