Necklace Love

A few months ago my friend Saskia came to Tucson for the Gem and Mineral Show.  I was so impressed with Saskia's ability to find beautiful and unique beads.  With the upcoming wedding in Miami, I wanted to treat myself to a fun and colorful necklace by Saskia.  I talked to her about what beads I loved from her Gem Show purchases, and check out this AMAZING necklace she made for me!  I am so excited to wear it!  See her other lovely pieces on her website here. 

Sleeveface

In keeping with the music theme we have had happening around this here blog this week...have you guys ever visited Sleeveface? I think it is pretty funny & kind of awesome. We were hosting our bi-monthly radio show on KOTO (Telluride's only radio station) last night & I decided we should get in on a little "Sleeveface" action ourselves. Kind of goofy, not very "design relevant," but here you go.

We like to keep it classy around these parts.

Beaten To The Punch...

I literally pulled out some sheets of cork I had from a previous project just last night as I had an idea to make a pen cup covered in cork to post notes on at work. And look, on Design*Sponge this very morning is a post about this very project. I cannot believe they beat me to the punch here. Guess that is what I get for being too slow. Sigh.

Vertical Garden

My friend Amy recommended Scott and I do this in our garden/patio.Love!  Maybe a good summer project. 

Tucson in Stop-Motion

This was created by one of our graduating seniors.  Lots of my favorite places (and yours) are here including Old Main (my office location), Time Market (favorite hang out), and the 4th avenue underpass.  I like the soundtrack too!

Cactus Bloom

I love when the cactus blooms -always a beautiful surprise!  A few photos of my neighbor's cactus taken this morning. 

Finally!

After too many snowy days last week, the sun has finally made an appearance.
Sigh. My how I have missed you sunshine.
