Kathleen Edwards

I can't believe I haven't already posted about my dearest Kathleen. The talented Canadian native has toured with the likes of My Morning Jacket and put out 3 cds. I hear a 4th is in the works! I picked up one randomly at the Nashville Public Library last year and have been hooked ever since. Her show in Knoxville March 13th was just amazing- but she is taking a well deserved break now after 2 years on the road. One of my favorite things about her, besides her beautiful voice, soulful guitar and poetic, honest lyrics is her personality. She seems so fun- loves hockey and whiskey, and is just a real down to earth gal.

I haven't really been listening to much music lately. I am hardly ever here in my room because I am driving around all the time and our cd player in the car is broken. So it was great to hear my old favorite songs again tonight. You can hear some for yourself on her website.

I am going to SLEEP now and you really won't see me for a few days. I mean it. We are hightailin' it to Asheville tomorrow and then Charlotte NC. .

Jen Renninger

I am so blessed to have began correspondence with Jen Renninger, a talented artist and generous heart who is also coincidentally looking into work with the arts and healthcare. Her designs are so inpiring, I can't wait to see them up at the hospital. You can order some for yourself from her etsy shop, and make sure to check out her blog while you're at it.

Tomorrow those bottom 2 bad boys will be on their way to our little floor at the hospital. I am so excited! Thank you hijirik so much for your generous donation.

Another thank you goes out to Brooklyn photographer Mina, who also just signed up to contribute beauties for UAMS. I love how the scene of Nikolaos, Greece in the center almost looks like a tiny set. Her work has a handprinted, aged quality that I love, but the colors are still bright and fresh. I look forward to seeing them pop off the wall in that beige ward!

Sycamore Street Press

Thanks a Ba-zillion to Kirk and Eva at Sycamore Street Press, for agreeing to donate some fabulous hand letterpressed cards for my project at the hospital. You can see in the details above the quality and texture digital printing just can't replace. Not only are they talented, SSP has been utilizing sustainable practices in their studio like soy based inks on either 'tree free' cotton paper or 100% recycled. Plus their vintage hand letterpress doesn't use any electricity. High Five from greenbean!

Mondays

This ones for you, Jonah. From Portland artist Ryan Jacob Smith.

Vincent Miu

I spotted Vincent Miu at Spotted Fawn. These photos are of the southern cross star trail, scorpius, refracted light from a satellite solar panel, and trails of the moon + venus + jupiter.

Molly Meg

I found these pictures and said to myself "I don't know whats going on here, but I like it". Come to find out they're from an online store filled with vintage chairs for half pints! Maybe Ryan over at Pacing the Panic Room can work some of his blog - ad magic and haul one in for LB.

Beautiful bathroom from my newest, favoritest blog- cafe cortolina.

Theres plenty of room in there for my 3 pets to hang out- while I relax in the sunny tub. Wish I could be there this very moment!

I had a late night, and now the day is overcast and humid. This bright and fresh room could certainly revive me! Its from a country house in Wiltshire, England. Check out many, many more beautiful images and articles at her blog.
