The past few months have been a whirlwind ’round these parts.   Due to the digi-cam being killed by my cat from hell, there haven’t been pictures… I did dig out the 35mm camera (a rather nice one, at that) and dust it off.  Hopefully I’ll get those pic developed before the kids graduate from college!

This post will be some shots of what happened in our world after I opened  my present from Santa… I have a lovely new Nikon that - get this DOESN’T NEED BATTERIES!!! Oh sweet joy!

And finally, my project while the all our girls were away… and this is all paint I got for free instead of it going into a landfill!

Brent Comber is well known for his shattered tables and stools made of solid wood. His work relies heavy on the beauty of nature and natural objects, and is eco-friendly at the same time - using pieces of wood that wolud otherwise be descarded.
Now, at showrom of Obakki, a canadian store that showcases local designs, Brent Comber has made the largest ever design piece from shattered wood.

I’ve had my eye this desk for awhile. It’s so bright, cheerful (and yes I’ll admit a bit over the top, but I still love it) and yellow is one of my favorite colors. Anyway, I was very excited today when I saw that it’s now on sale at Nest Dallas… unfortunately, it’s still a bit out of my price range and as my husband so graciously pointed out, I already have a desk, but I figured I’d share it here in case someone else is in the market!

Meet the Gravity Balans Chair. Yes, It might possibly be the best chair ever… I want one! Dunno where I’d put it?! Suppose we could sacrifice a room. No need for a bed… Just throw the old Star Wars duvet cover and you are pretty much sorted.

P.S. Any sudden movements could result in concussion and an afternoon in your local A&E waiting room.
