RANCHO + RELAXO = THIS
An amazing house with enormous surrounds.
I could definitely get lost & live here.
Description from the Architects of Olson Kundig:
Located in Northeast Oregon, this small house is conceived as a contemporary glass box that floats atop the surrounding wheat fields. The design of the house and the accompanying wood-frame barn responds to the local vernacular of barns and farmhouses in the Pacific Northwest while responding to the client’s deep interest in the design of Philip Johnson’s Glass House.
Facing south towards the distant mountains, the house adapts well to the cold, snowy winters and hot, dry summers. In the winter, the orientation takes advantage of passive solar heat gain from the low-angled winter sun; in the summer, roof overhangs and a light shelf block the high hot summer sun from entering. Large, operable windows of high-efficiency glass provide cross-ventilation cooling, lessening the house’s need for air-conditioning.

BEYONCE/THUNDERDOME BOOTLEG
Not a huge fan of her music...this song is...eh, just okay. BUT this film clip is cool!
Kind of reminds me of Mad Max 2: Thunderdome (a cah-lassic):
No?
Um, yes!

MERCHANT & MILLS
Wow, what an online find this is!
You MUST check out Merchant & Mills - even if your not an avid sewer.
About to embark on my own sewing adventures, this website is truly inspiring and just makes me wanna put needle to cloth.
Carolyn Denham is the genius behind this website and describes herself as a 'driving force behind the movement to get you all sewing'!
Well, with a visually beautiful website and amazing bits & bobs like hers, its no wonder us amateur needle knockers are willing to do so, and now!
You will find almost everything you need for your sewing basket and it all comes beautifully packaged to boot. High on my list of 'wants' is this (literally DIY!) oilskin bag kit:
Ah-mazing, right?? International shipping - such a bonus.
Go over and see for yourself; its well worth the trip.

*Send. Email. To Them. Now.*

WINTER WANTS
So I was over at www.thedesignfiles.net, and one click led to another - I found myself shivering/dreaming of what could be...a brand new cotton flannel quilt cover set!
These two beauties (well, realistically one of them!) will be on my wish/MUST list to purchase for this winter. Its already freezing here in country Victoria; I might have to speed things up a bit!
Prices start at $24AU for a standard pillow case and $139AU for the quilt cover.
THAT H BELT
I was watching Gossip Girl season 1 last night - (I know, behind the 8 ball, but now completely hooked!) and Serena's 'mom' Lily was wearing that Hermes belt & gots me thinkin'...
DO I LIKE THEM?
...Tacky or not?
