Hello, Friday

Glimpses of my week –

This week was more interesting than most — we spent Christmas in Tulsa and friends were in town for the holidays. Photos, from top left: Walt reading on his new Kindle (he loves that thing); Southwest actually has good customer service and we had zero delays. Also? Peanuts are still free. – Eric, in town from Ann Arbor, shares a beer with Walt – Megan, in town from Pittsburgh, got waffles with me – a wonderful waffle breakfast from 24 Diner (that I’d been craving all week) – the crew at the Draughthouse – “Designer… de Better!” from the OPI Muppet collection (pardon the messy!).

Christmas in Tulsa

Elsewhere:
Iconic Photos created in Legos – a little old, but it still tickles my fancy.
Vintage Tesco’s Supermarket – it’s pretty awesome looking at all of this vintage packaging.
30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself – there’s something for everyone.
Daft Punk helmets DIY – my clients Rachelle and Stephen were Daft Punk for Halloween. This is an amazing set of tutorials on how to make Daft Punk helmets and gloves.

Let’s be materialistic for a moment. What were some of your favorite items you got for the holidays? Mine is a tie between my husband getting me a Bluray copy of Pride and Prejudice (1995 BBC mini-series with Colin Firth) which has apparently been remastered for much better video quality than my DVDs, and a Francesca Woodman art book from my mother-in-law. Did you receive anything you absolutely loved?
