Works by Artmind

These beautiful, ceramics have captured my attention this morning....

The 99 feelings project is the creation of 99 sculptures from Artmind, each representing a different emotion.

They are so pure, so clever and well, just so beautiful.

Dining space inspiration...

Today I've collated some dining space inspiration that I've collected in over the past year (has it really been that long since I started blogging?)

Enjoy!

Lake Home Construction Photos: Near Mt. Sunapee NH

Construction is ongoing on our lakefront vacation home being built in Blodgett’s Landing, Newbury, NH, right near Mt. Sunapee, a tear down project replacing a small, worn-out cottage.

It sure is cold after our nor’easter (Newbury received 14” of new snow), but the crew has a weather-tight shell and temporary heat to help. The site is very tight, with neighboring houses on either side, which can hamper snow removal efforts, but so far has not been an issue.

Interior framing, plumbing, and electrical is ongoing. Check back for progress photos!

Cafe Express has finally made it to Austin

Was thrilled to hear about their new location down by Seton Medical from my sister. Less thrilled to wait for a parking space on a recent lunch date with my hubby. Though I'm so happy Austin finally has a Cafe Express! Have y'all checked it out?

Beautiful stone house

I have a thing for old stone houses and would love one as a holiday home someday - although generally that would mean somewhere hot and I prefer a colder climate (some of you must think I am mad!) but anyway, this home in Tinos, Greece is just beautiful. Click here for more pictures.
