Maybe a little obsessed with puppets (as proven here, here, here, and here.) But, how
can you resist puppets in daisy dukes. And pencil mustaches. From Danish design studio
A.M. Victoria.

Alright, so I know they mean well. But,hahhhahhahaha! These photos are probably of ivy
league educated scientists dressed in panda suits in China's Hetaoping Research and
Conservation Center for the Giant Panda. The theory is, this keeps the endangered panda
more "wild" and prevents the panda from "imprinting" too much on their human caretakers.
Haven't seen anything this funny in a long time. Thanks Chinese scientist!

First came across Peepshow after seeing their endearing holiday video. Besides having
an awesome name, Peepshow is compromised of some of the coolest designers and
illustrators in the U.K. Was particularly drawn to the mega rich and bold photography and
art direction Chrissie McDonald did for Central Saint Martins.

Thought this sweet image was perfect antidote for today's gloomy weather. Plus, love the
idea of adding blue clouds to our interior space by the rafters. Seems like this would be
a good project for a resident seamster...

Think we may have been one of the last generation of typewriter users. Still remember
typing our American History paper for Ms. Cashion with an IBM. Just stumbled on this
website, My Typewriter, this morning and it brought back so many nostagic liquid white-
out memories. These beautifully restored vintage typewriters just oozes history and
and detailed worksmanship. Miss that sound of the return bell.

We say this over and over again - we are so lucky to get to meet and work with the most
talented and nicest people in Dallas. These photos are from our friend Brandon Thibodeaux.
We meet Brandon about a year ago when he took some pictures of us and our shop for
Modern Luxury. His style is casual and he was so effortless to work with him. Since then,
he comes into our shop every few months after he's been on an amazing adventure just
to say hi. So nice! These are from his latest trip where he followed a traveling circus act
for a few weeks to Mississippi. In true documentary form, his photos captures their lives
on and off stage. Ah-may-zing.

From Chinese artist Di Liu, winner of Lacoste's Elysee Prize, these pieces  represent Liu's
focus on the speed of urban development in China and nature; how Lacoste blends the
elements of nature into it's brand. These are unbelievably good.
