This Dillon Chair from Crate and Barrel in sapphire blue leather might not look like much, but boy it is perfect for my 5′2” little body. I could sit here for hours, days, weeks. I did some detective work and it turns out it is made by Mitchell Gold — the Perry Chair and cost some $300 dollars less from Mitchell Gold retailers.

I spent some additional time looking at the Sotheby’s auction of Margaret Weston’s photography collection which all highlight our continuing fascination with nature and the challenges of capturing the fleeting vitality of the natural world. The upper right photograph captures the lacy silhouette of trees against the sky, something that is easy to see with our eyes, but hard to capture on film. T. asked me to marry him underneath just such a silhouette of a tree. The luminosity of the water lilly, the sinuousness of the fern print, the simplicity of the still life of fruit are all delicious.
