Favorite Blog: The Purl Bee

August 30, 2010

I just love this blog. It makes me wish I knew how to knit! To think of all the adorable things I could be making!
The purl bee has a shop in NYC’s Soho- Purl Soho.
This shop looks like it’s straight from my most wonderful dream.
It’s out of a storybook.
I hope I can make it to this shop the next time I’m in the city.
I would be in heaven.
While browsing the blog, I came across this simple lunch bag. I love it and it’s so fitting, as I am going back to school today! Staff meetings at school all day–
wish I had a lunch bag like this one to hold my PB&J.

that upside down feeling…

August 30, 2010

I bought this card a few days ago and am planning on putting it in a frame. Somewhere where I can see it every day.
It just put such a smile on my face.
I love that upside down feeling when you’re on a swing.
The one where your stomach flips as if you were on a roller coaster.

That
is
the
best
feeling
in
the
world.

Fifty, Nifty, United STATES

August 30, 2010

This is the most amazing map of the United States EVER.

I found it in a shop in Chatham and it costs $3,900.00
SHUCKS.

The artist, Aaron Foster works with vintage license plates to make spectacular wall art. He’s even been on TV and sometimes, replicas of his work can be found at Target (now THAT’s more my budget!).

This taxi cab, made from a NY license plate, is one of my favorites!

“I always wonder about the history of the vintage plates I use, what roads they may have traveled down and where they might be headed next, like the cars they once belonged to, I hope that my artwork will take fantastic journeys in the lives of their owners and always remind them of life’s eternal sense of adventure.”
