1960s Skateboarding

These awesome photos by Bill Eppridge were taken when skateboarding really started to blow up during the 1960s. Not to knock skateboarding, but doesn't it look so much cooler in these shots? See more here, here, and here.

Panic Room

The Au Vieux Panier hotel in Marseille, France, has five rooms that are annually reconceptualized by commissioned artists and designers. This one, Panic room, was done by graffiti artist Tilt - who split the room down the middle and went to town with his bubbly/bright work. I don't know that I could ever stay in this room, but it's definitely something to see!

Edible Scrabble

The Etsy shop Andie's Specialty Sweets is selling this genius product: edible scrabble tiles with racks. They come in either chocolate or vanilla and can be customized to whatever words you'd like. Now you can play your scrabble and eat it too!

Snow Circles

This massive snow drawing, by Sonja Hinrichsen and five helpers, reminded me so much of this that I had to post! Large-scale-art-love!

Now & Later

Now:

I'm listening to my starred playlist on Spotify. Here's a few from that list:







I'm going to start sharing a lot more music in posts to come, so watch out!

Later:

Tonight I'm heading to queens for a going away party for some friends of ours that are moving to Portland (hehe). Then, tomorrow night we're having Mike's sister and brother-in-law over for some snacks and such. Fun, fun, fun!

Looking forward to sprinkling in some bike riding too, if the weather permits.

Have a lovely weekend!

Mean Cookies

Mike and I just booked a trip to Bahamas for the end of April and I am SO excited! It's been over a year since we've gone on vacation and I desperately need some sun! We've both been upping our fitness in preparation and in the spirit of getting in shape - I couldn't help but laugh at these "mean cookies" which are clearly meant to discourage you from eating them. If only they came in chocolate chip...

Each letter is hand embroidered and super rad.

Sunday!? Quality time with Mike and possibly my 3rd guitar lesson! :)

Have an amazing weekend!!

Bonsai Tree Houses

When I first saw these I got REALLY excited because my friend Erin had a bonsai tree once, so in my free time I like to photoshop her into pictures with them :)

But, after further inspection I realized these Bonsai tree houses by Takanori Aiba are completely amazing! By combining his skills as a maze illustrator and also an architect - Takanori has managed to create tiny communities in the small trees. The intricacy and detail is really something.
