Back from eastern Europe!

And oh my was it ever great! Czech Republic, Croatia and Turkey. 6 weeks of long overdue traveling / vacation. I'll be posting photos on my flickr site soon, but here's some quick photos of some the goodies I brought back from Prague. I was lucky to hit an antique fair in Prague that happens twice a year - good timing! In the background of the photo above is the booklet from the Mucha museum I checked out in Prague.
These are brass and metal bits and pieces I scrounged up in various antique bazaars in Prague. I look forward to spending the rest of the summer creating new OAK pieces out of all these lovely bits and bobs. To be debuted this fall!

This Into That


I am in love with these gorgeous shelves made out of recycled books, by Jim Rosenau.

Quote from his website:
"In the back of my mind lurked Nicholson Baker’s essay, “Lumber”, about how the term once applied to more than just wood. It also meant the ideas stored in your head. Eureka! Could books somehow be made into lumber? And what would I make of them?"
