West Elm Global Bazaar

I am feeling a little under the weather with a cold and the only thing that perked me up all day besides my herbal tea was seeing the new Fall Collection from West Elm.  I just love the the direction they are going in--they called it Global Bazaar and these worldly pieces are my favorites:

It was love at first sight.  I developed a mild obsession with this carved coffee table.  The only problem is I think it is too small in scale for my family room.

This sofa with a sumptuous amount of patterned pillows would look so inviting.

I am in need of a fabric ottoman to use as a coffee table, and I just love this one made from traditional dhurries from India.  Many months back I purchased a pillow at West Elm made from recycled saris--all were unique.  Word is that these ottomans may follow suit and be made from all different patterns.

I like the statement that these hand blocked pillows made from gold and silver metallic would make in a room.

Then, there are these hand blocked/hand quilted bedding that is very reminiscent of John Robshaw's--I am a huge fan of his textiles.

I love the colors and pattern of this traditional dhurrie rug too.

You can see the whole new Fall Collection (Global Bazaar) here.

Summer Canning

Summer is starting to warm up here in SE Wisconsin and so is our garden! We are just starting to get cucumbers. But we couldn't wait to make our first batch of pickles! We went and bought a few pounds at our local farmer's market. Also since the fruit has been so good (and good priced) we have been making jam! And of course an apron is absolutely essential for canning!!

 Isn't she sweet? From a Ball Canning Book c1939. Love her apron!

This is from a Hotpoint Electric Stove Manual. Isn't her kitchen cute?

A closer look at her lovely pink kitchen.

My stereo is lost. Luckily I am in Missouri.

Sign someone put up on my cubicle wall after the Patriots lost to the Saints.

Now, a substitute for the Murse. (from the New Yorker)

A Christmas card from my Uncle.

Guess where I was when I took this?

So You are Open WHEN?

(In case you can't read this one, it says, "Store Hours. Open most days about 9 or 10. Occasionally as early as 7 but some days as late as 12 or 1. We close about 5:30 or 6. Occasionally about 4 or 5 but sometimes as late as 11 or 12. Some days or afternoons we aren't here at all and lately Ive been here just about all the time except when I am someplace else." )

This was a real sign in New Orleans. You can read the article about it HERE.

Happy sign hunting!! Do you take photos of any weird things?
