But seriously, how cool is Lonny's new issue where Michelle Adams, editor in chief narrates her "letter from the editor" in embedded video format.Now, that's using technology to it's fullest. Why should online magazines be static flip books like their older cousins? And I love how you can click on an item you love and they'll send you directlyto the manufacturer's website or to a site that... Read more
Purchased these fun thingumabobs at an Hancock Park estate sale this weekend. What do you guys think I should do with 'em? Candle sticks perhaps? Except then they'd all be the same height which is no fun. Read more

It's amazing what a transformation their place has undergone. Here are some before and after pics (and of course, let me know... Read more
Indeed, I've been posting about Ikat & Batik's etsy shop a lot lately (check out my GIVEAWAY going on through Thursday below) .
