Puccini

Back from a glorious weekend out at the Great Wall. Apparently the Domino tag sale was well picked over in the first hour, so I'm feeling my weekend without the lines and the hassle was especially well spent. I love this illustration by Noumeda Carbone entitled the 'Passion of Puccini,' it feels feminine without being girly. He uses ink, pigment liner and photoshop to create little surprises.

Sanborn Maps

Available at the the NY Public Library, these Sanborn fire insurance maps could look great framed. This one just happens to be a 1916 survey of the lot I grew up on and it's pink!

I Fly Into New York Today

YAY! Can't wait to see everyone and oh the shopping I will do. My arrival also beautifully coincides with a new soho store, well played Top Shop, well played. Image: "Fly" Lucky Blue Bird Art.

Peony Love

I first saw these dramatic beauts at city sage and followed the link to artist Kari Herer. These would be perfect hung in a set of three over a bed, so much so that I was finally motivated to sign up with etsy and paypal to complete the purchase. Hopefully the hubby agrees, otherwise they will be gifted to lucky friends and family:)
