hmmm, not sure what the blog equivalent of 'dead air' is but sincere apologies for technical difficulties that prevented my post from publishing last friday! this week, i am noticing that i never seem to tire of a black and white palette. i love the way it perfectly compliments natural materials like wood or foliage, and how it plays off a touch of color.

wishing you a perfectly lovely weekend.

finding myself drawn to the circle lately - thinking about cycles and completion as summer winds down and fullness and wholeness from feeling replenished and energized from time spent traveling and visiting with family and friends. wishing you a very happy weekend.

louis sullivan's assertion that 'form (ever) follows function' was somewhat trumped by oscar niemeyer's 'form follows beauty': something as common as a stairway can be so much more than just a vertical link between two places. wishing you a beautiful weekend.

visiting with family and friends in los angeles last weekend was so great as was just soaking up all that is l.a. including the wonderful street art and huge billboards. nothing like color or scale to make memorable spaces. wishing you a colorfully memorable weekend.

taking a little break again this week as we travel to los angeles to celebrate the 100th birthday of our dear, kind, humorous, generous and loving aunt lupe.  feeling very grateful for the many years of love and smiles from such an amazing woman. wishing you a festive weekend.
