Crayola for the Concrete!
I'm all for the joys of Crayola - they never cease to amaze me! Here's my latest favorite find: Sidewalk Crayons. Super creamy (almost as smooth as wet sidewalk chalk), bright and vibrant; these are perfect for the little guys who can't press down hard enough to extract any amount of pigment from the classic pastel sidewalk chalk. Freida loves them!! It's our latest "before dinner" activity. After getting dinner in the oven we go outside and hit the pavement with a bag of these crayons for some end-of-day outdoor fun with the neighbors...
For the red, white, and blue.
Happy Independence Day to all my fellow Americanos. Hope your national holiday is as much fun as it's meant to be! Soak up some sun (through SPF 90, of course), enjoy a lazy backyard Sunday with all the family, and turn the dial up on dessert - Martha style. If your man is that hot daddy behind the grill, here's some sweet ways to thank him....

Cheers for Chairs!
I'm such a chair-a-holic (if you haven't yet picked that up from this and that). I just have a thing for chairs. I love 'em. Retro, vintage, modern... but mostly, Mid-Century. The sheer design genius that went on in the Eames era is so astonishingly simple - and yet these seating designs have morphed into iconic symbols. Happened upon this wearable chairs concept from BRUXE; 20th Century chair charms. 10K gold pendants for the chair happy! If Aaron Basha can make shoe pendants classic, what's wrong with a little chair-jewelry-action?? Totally lovin' it!!
The line is called Tiny Little Chairs
While I'm on the hot topic, thought I'd share this beautifully revised film; the Eames Lounge Chair debut on NBC, circa 1956! Enjoy!!
