wood as art and science

There's definitely a trend in wood-based fragrance bottles! I hope they smell as good as they look.

So much coolness in Holly Fulton's Spring/Summer 2010 collection.

kuler than cool

I stumbled upon this website for kuler by Adobe (although I guess it's been around for a while) and of course I instantly fell in love. It's simple but so interesting and inspiring.

Some of my faves:


spring asleep under snow


winterberry


pain


ice wine fruit


procrastination


bariloche life


city lights

inspired by wine

So, I'm in a book (and wine) club. It's really a "go for the book, stay for the wine" kind of experience. It's pretty fun. Last night we chose a new book for the coming month that is actually about wine (a first for this group, if you can believe it.) Since the book we chose has a cute and pleasant but not exceptionally well-designed cover, it got me wondering about and eventually searching for wine book covers that had some more design chops. Here are some I found (lots of center-justified going on here, get ready.)

After numerous (holi)days of waking up in the double digits (I'm not a morning person) maybe one of these cuties could have helped a bit this week.
