I’m signing off for the week to enjoy the Thanksgiving weekend, feeling very thankful this year. Summing it up in a couple of sentences sounds trite, but please accept a simple and heartfelt thank you to all of you. These Finnish Eyes as Big as Plates photos by Riittai Konen and Karoline Hjorth are stunning. Beautiful. Inspiring. The 7 word autobiographies of famous creatives (Joan Didion, David Byrne, Madeleine Albright, and many others) are pretty clever. Feel the fear. Hey, after Thanksgiving, people no longer think you’re nuts if you have a Christmas tree up! Here are some fun alternatives to the traditional tree this year. Hello, pretty little brass pencil case. Get the look: wicker and woven texture in the bedroom. Think outside the box with these cute geometric picture frames. I love the card series of furniture in Animal Crossing, but ZOMG this table exists IRL! Modernica didn’t design the Eames-style shell chairs they sell, but they do produce the most authentic versions today. Cozy up on the couch with a movie and a good throw blanket (or two). Perfect for family movie night, or post-turkey napping.
