Lisa Larson

I love looking at pictures of artists at work- in their studios,

workrooms, ateliers, gardens. These are some of my favourite

creations and photographs of Swedish designer Lisa Larson. 

Many of Lisa's designs are still in production. 

You can visit the website and shop here and view more 

of my favourite artists at work, and their ateliers here.

I hope you're enjoying a lovely start to the week! 

We've decided to shift our field journal posts to Wednesdays

and will be posting entry four in our little project then, if you'd

like to play along with us. Happy Monday Everyone! xoxox

At our house Jedis are right up there 

with SUPERHEROES of course...

but personally I love a good super villain 

( have you seen 'Despicable Me' yet?)

Aren't these just wonderful!

Believe it or not there's no 'telly' at our place though... 

DVDs and videos (and the internet and youtube) are the go.

No we are not hippies (well, not strictly anyway) 

and we are aware of what's going on around the world... 

and we do watch some TV shows, just on DVD.

To be honest if we could afford to get the antenna fixed we probably 

would have telly, but it's just not that high on my list of priorities.  

Mostly, I hate Ads.  Most of them.

Ari doesn't see the ads for junkfood, so grocery shopping is a 

pleasant thing... there's no incessant nagging for rubbishy foods. 

(And Ari has never asked to eat at a McDonalds restaurant.)

Buying organic strawberries is truly a most exciting treat. 

And so they should be... all red and sweet and delicious as they are, 

and home-baked cakes are mouth wateringly anticipated.  

( How I love that they've banned junkfood in Australian schools now! )

Because, we don't watch telly Ari's oblivious to the hype around 

the latest in toys and video games and movies... 

and the old classics win out again and again at our house.

Occassionally, I watch Ads on youtube. Purely for amusement.

Ten years without telly and I've negleted to witness this change 

firsthand, but it has struck me recently that there does seem 

to be a new simple intelligence to some contemporary Ads,

(and I wonder if Madmen has played a hand in this).

Some are even cute and moderately entertaining...

Take for example this car Ad which recently aired in the US.

This is how the room looked 

before Nina recently 'revamped' it! 

( I wish Ari's room was this cute & TIDY )
