One more update on the prints I currently have at Urban Outfitters - a third print, all i need, is now for sale on their website, in a new larger 18"x 24" size. Yet again, I love the way the print looks alongside their other awesome furniture and home decor items (particularly those fun hanging planters). Check it out here!
at the moment i'm swooning over these gorgeous images by mark laita, a detroit-born photographer who has been at work for nearly three decades. no matter his subject, from snakes to sea creatures to birds or flowers, he seems to perfectly capture the inherent beauty and complexity that nature offers up to us. i honestly can't decide which group i like best, so i'm including a few of my favorites from the amaranthine collection, "a study of the rare concurrence of beauty and death found in ornithological specimens." and it's not just because i'm a bird myself. see more of his incredible work here.
i was first given the taste for backgammon at the tender age of 5, when one our neighbors who babysat me discovered that it was the best way to keep me distracted. my love for the game remains strong, but this pheasant board by alexandra llewelyn might be a slightly more sophisticated version than the one i grew up on, with a walnut case and hand lacquered finishes. see more from her collection here.
