monday mood board

just a hint of scandinavian inspiration on this rainy monday morning. In exactly one week I will be bound for stockholm! A trip I have been anticipating since november.... I can't believe it is almost here.

Urban Cartel

 simple, beautiful utilitarian pieces with modern appeal fill the virtual shelves of Urban Cartel. I am smitten with the soft glazes and the controlled organic nature of this "contemporary porcelain" from the melbourne, australia shop. 

 I have mostly white dishes & prep bowls in my kitchen and any of these would easily accompany them. The thought of using the lipped bowls in my next (and probably unsuccessful) baking endeavor makes me quite happy indeed.  

Uprise Art

I had lunch yesterday with some dear friends who are in town visiting. We were chatting away about all sorts of things (the kinds of conversations you can only have with good friends) it was a wonderful way to spend part of an afternoon. 

In the course of that conversation they told be about a relatively new company called Uprise Art. I was very excited at their description and rushed home to check it out. Uprise Art allows you to bring contemporary art into your space for a time. You sign up and for a small fee each month you can have a piece by one of their artists hang in your home. And it all arrived custom-framed, hand delivered and installed into your home. 

At the moment they are only in New York and just recently in Boston but oh how I wish this service were available in San Francisco. I can hardly think of a better way to experience and grow an art collection at this point in my life. 

cause to celebrate

this weekend there was cause to celebrate! mile stones were quite abundant in three short days. I hope you all truly enjoyed your memorial weekend. It was gorgeous here in san francisco and that made it all the sweeter. 30th birthdays were celebrated, civil landmarks were honored,  family arrived, friends gathered, ate & toasted and perhaps most joyous of all a new life was welcomed into the world.
I am still buzzing from the excitement
