Fields, After the Storm – faux fur, cotton, sifted tile grout.
So…my picture a day certainly didn’t last long, but i’m trying to make up for it by posting more visually wonderful goodies I find. Like Matthew Albanese. His work involves construction of small scale models using a hodge podge of materials to create life live landscapes.
These Berkley Illustrations make my heart joyful.
Even better you can find them on Plywerk at Fawn & Forest!
Portland’s very own ReBuilding Center made it onto Apartment Therapy. Check it out! I personally love this place, walking in gives me dreams of art projects and DIY home makeover glee.
Day 9 – Waffle House
Finally a non food image. I’ve been wanting to shoot a picture of the Waffle House by the hotel since we arrived, but its been too cold to walk there at night, so we stopped by on the way home from dinner for my shot. Wish it were more in focus, but its hard to stand still in 20 degree weather for a longer exposure shot.
Day 8 – Cobb in bed
More food - sorry guys, between being inside the mart all day and the hotel..there isnt much else.
Day 7 – Black and White
I had the best lemongrass tofu ever for dinner this evening. And then we popped into Star Provisions for dessert again. Heaven.
This is the view from the 5th floor where our booth is located. Americas Mart is 3 huge buildings with many floors of showrooms, some permanent and some temporary. Apparently the building hosts 24 shows per year, and this show is one of two of the biggest ones. There is everything from tacky t-shirts staying things like “Love me, love my dog too” (who happen to be across the isle from us…) to nice jewellery available for unbeatable wholesale prices. I will get more of a chance to check everything out tomorrow. Today was spent setting up the booth, eating more good food and shopping at H&M. 
The picture isn’t great, but I had limited lighting to work with. My first evening in Atlanta was relaxed. We went to Ikea to purchase all the supplies for the set up for the show. This included 5 Billy Bookcases, 2 rugs, a table and 2 chairs along with other odds and ends. I plan on taking some photos of the set up and the bags we are selling for a separate post. Anyway, I had butter nut squash ravioli with a goat cheese and spinach salad for dinner, and cupcakes from Star Provisions. I feel like this is a vacation rather than work!
Day 3 – Grand Duke Alexander
Yesterday was my first day back on campus for Winter term. Its going to be a difficult one involving the dreaded Finance 303 and my senior capstone, Animal Aid & Grant Writing…which i’m quite excited about.
I took the camera to campus but the battery was dead, evidenced by these two photos clearly taken at home. Tomorrow i’m off to Atlanta for a week to work the Atlanta Gift & Home Furnishings Market for Mosey whom i’ve been interning for since beginning of Fall term.
Day 4 – The Basement
