Just in the knick of time - the week ahead promises to be a busy one. If I ever talk about taking a philosophy course again, please (PLEASE) hit me over the head with something.
Now, to stash the laptop before I browse Nowness for the next hour.
PS: Sorry for not linking to the video on Nowness directly. It seems Blogspot won't let me embed the video so I had to seek out the youtube version.

Lotte Bostlund
Ever since reading the article on Gunnar and Lotte Bostlund (and their ah-mazing lamps) in the most recent issue of studio, I've been on an internet hunt for one of my own. Alas, they are hard to come by and at least a couple hundred dollars when I do. But seriously, look at these creatures of beauty - of course they're coveted!
Anywwwway - Imagine my excitement when I found one at Goodwill yesterday! On half price day, of all days - the day we tend to avoid because the store is so picked over. I paid $4.50, and it even has it's original shade! The only thing that's missing is the harp - which, always seems to be missing on lamps in thrift stores. It looks almost exactly like the lamp in the photo below, but both the base and the shade are a foot taller. This thing is a behemoth. (A behemoth of beauty, yes.)

Susanna Vento
My mental to do list is about a mile long and I'm stressing about the start of the semester, impending news, my lack of fitness, and leftover laundry. I think today it's easier to escape my little world and focus on the beautiful apartments of others. Namely, Susanna Vento - I spotted these over on Seesaw a week back and have had the tab open on my browser ever since.
I don't think there could be more things that I love crammed into one person's house. Actually though; a white Bertoia chair, string shelves, a Kauniste tea towel, that Olle Eksell poster I'm super infatuated with, amazing lamps (including one with a huge arm), and amazing textiles (including a pillow covered in triangles, yes). Pretty much, I'm one big gush-y mess, but I really love this space.

Final Days
It seems my days at the Harbourfront are coming to a close. I'm leaving my residency a week early to take a short break and deal with a battle against bedbugs and crazy neighbours. It looks like moving might be on the table.
Anyway, here are the last of my photos from around the studio; I printed some tea towels using natural dyes. This little set explores the whole process, first creating a pattern, then testing colours, and finally, printing the final pieces.
