PHOTOS: Sydney Studios
And my dinnerware obsession marches on! Lately I’m stalking this abstract collection by Sydney Studios. Those big colorful swashes of color take my breath away.

I’ve never made soap, but I know that in order to get perfectly sized bars they have to chop off some excess. Morning Calm bundles them up and sells them as Happy Endings! A nice way to try out the shop’s offerings, use a new soap every few days, or put out for guests. So smart. {via Shiny Squirrel}

The slight downward slope of this dish drainer by Royal VKB and Jorre van Ast allows water runoff to gently drain away in the most stylish of fashions.

I’ve seen quite a few artists reaching out and donating proceeds from heartfelt goods being sold since last Friday’s disaster in Japan. This is the first piece of jewelry I’ve come across. wsake created this spray painted copper pendant hung from silk, reminiscent of the country’s rising sun emblem.

I’m completely enthralled by this installation by Spencer Finch, 366 (Emily Dickinson’s Miraculous Year). I love the juxtaposition of the exciting, brightly colored candles against the slow burn of the project. {via ali loves curtis}

Let’s face it, Target has changed the way stores of its ilk work. One of the very biggest changes is fashion. As in I can now afford these huge designer labels. This month marks five years of their GO International Designer Collective, featuring every single name you see above. To celebrate they’ve brought back all the best-sellers for (of course) a limited time. I have no shame in admitting that I spent a solid half hour in the dressing room yesterday trying on no less than ten frocks. And at the end of that half hour I emerged triumphant, with this dress that I’ll be wearing to one of three weddings this summer – and it only set me back $40!
When one icon teams up with another amazing things are bound to happen. Such is the case when the legendary Higgins Studio created these amazing handmade enamel-fused glass mobiles for Jonathan Adler. One of the best displays of mid-century modern design I’ve seen in recent memory. {via Cool Hunting}

George Nelson can do no wrong, I swear. I’m a longtime fan of the architect/writer/design/teacher and I’ve not seen these ceramic clocks of his before, now I’m coveting all three (Although I think the one in the middle is my favorite.)
PS: OKCers you’re in luck, there’s a George Nelson exhibit going on at the Oklahoma City Museum of Art through May 8th!
Posted In accessories, house and home, oklahomaI’m not exactly sure what’s going on, but I’ve been craving eggs like crazy lately. All in all that’s not so strange, it’s just that I maybe eat an egg-centric dish twice a year and I think I’ve topped that in the past month alone. But looky-looky, my craving is your advantage because here are some of the best egg dishes I’ve come across lately. (And before the questions start, the answer is a resounding no. I’m not pregnant. Pinky swear.)
