It's been a hot day, 90+ degrees. In an effort to cool off, I decided to do a digital collage using photos of flowers. It's supposed to be back down to around 60 degrees tomorrow, thankfully. I hate the heat, although it was a dry heat...
Hand Blown Recycled Transparent
Blue Milk Glass Hurricanes
Plates too
This is one of my favorite stores. I just saw these plates and hurricanes today and I think the blue is just beautiful. When I can afford it, they are on my shopping list.
As you may have noticed I changed this blog's banner and colors. I haven't posted much lately as I am getting ready for a two person show taking place in June in Lowell, MA. I will post more soon.
These beautiful bowls are by Elizabeth Prince from Manchester, UK. I bought one very like the one at the top left. They are all one of kind and that bowl is very precious to me. Her Etsy store is here
These are the 2 items I bought online today in honor of Earth Day. The first items are bio-degradable plates and bowls from Branch and the second is bio-degradable trash bags from Drugstore.com.

Today is Monday, Patriots Day in Massachusetts. The marathon was run and the Red Sox game started at 11:00am. I spent some time at my studio in Lowell in the morning and met with a potential web client.
I'm reading:
Pack of Cards, short stories by Penelope Lively I love her writing style, wit and detailed characterization. I have read many of her books. This is the first time reading her short stories, which are great for reading in bed at night. My favorite book of hers is The Photograph
My current "restaurant" book is The Kings English which is about a book store in Utah. It is an excellent book with reading lists at the end of every chapter. I'm set up for years if I use those lists. By the way, "restaurant" books are those that I keep in the car so that I have reading material should I go out to eat or have to wait for something.
The magazine I just go finished looking at was Living etc. Good pictures, inspiring stuff.
Hope you had a good Monday.
