I’m not sure I have much in the way of the freshest content today, still ruminating about Alt, I suppose…Just trying to think of ideas on what else I can bring to the table with my content…What else to make, do, think. The choices are as wide as the horizon, but aren’t in focus quite yet. Barbara & Michael Leisgen’s Mimesis series of feels about right today then. Dreamy, 1970′s analog photos with just the right amount of whimsy.

Via Today & Tomorrow.

BACK! Did you miss me? I missed you terribly, but I have to say I am glad for the break. Never before have I had such little interest in committing content to the web. I just couldn’t seem to find a way through all my crap and stress to contribute something useful to the fray, something that didn’t seem like thought shrapnel. And apparently an absence for the better part of two weeks makes it feel like I have to start all over again too. That’s okay though. Starting comes easily to me.

In the meantime, between working 12-14 hours a day at an agency, managing my own clients, dealing with a dead (if only temporarily) computer, I also had a show at Post 27! I barely talked about this event, my biggest regret of this whole holidaze-craze season. I was so wrapped up in making the work that I just didn’t have it in me. I needn’t have worried though, to my shock and awe, because it was a success! We sold over half the work, which has never happened to me before!

Heaps of gratitude to Veronica Corzo-Duchardt & Post 27, the other two-thirds of this show. Without Veronica’s Neche Collection test prints, screenprinted notepads & tags, or Angela’s usual furniture & display skills this would not have come together. Together we all got to craft office of our dreams, even if it just existed for one night.

This is just one of the project I’m currently incubating. It’s for all you post-it note hoarders, marker sniffers and obsessive filers (you know who you are). It’s for all those times when you have so much work you can’t see straight and you need a little extra oomphf to get motivated. Re-Classified is a show about work, the office, and the multitude of tools that go into stuff-making. Get organized (or die trying) surrounded by beautiful, inspiring things, we offer all the promise of a fresh sketchbook or a box full of brand-spanking new school supplies. Including office furniture by Post 27, office-themed Neche Collection test prints by Winterbureau, and keep going kits of curated vintage & up-cycled office supplies by yours truly.

Ch-ch-check it out.
Opens next Thursday December 8th at Post 27. Free!

Oh hi there! Yep, c’est moi up there! My friend Tereasa took the time to take these and then put them on her lovely blog and I couldn’t not share. Feels like the perfect way to send off summer in style. These were taken in July at Camp Wandawega in Elkhorn, WI. The camp is so perfectly decked out in vintage that you almost feel like you’re time-traveling and I just couldn’t resist playing along. My skirt, which I affectionately call my Tenenbaum skirt (my name IS Margot, after all), is a 60′s tennis skirt with terry cloth trim and racquet appliqués. Tee from Target, shoes Jeffrey Campbell, and the glasses we a gift.

Aspic & Other Delights is all about the vintage recipe love. I’d LOVE to go to a dinner party with modern remixes of these dishes. Except for the processed meat-in-a-can-Spam ones. Those I can do without I think.

+ This Baths kid’s got summertime in his fingers.

+ New design blog, Moxee, put together a legit piece on branding your blog here.

+ I wrote a post on the Fox is Black about austism in the arts.

+ My other bloggy-gig, Outpost, is picking up speed. Carly’s our newest contributor, she’s now doing weekly posts on styling vintage fashion.

Happy weekend, friends! First full day off in about ten days, I’m exciiiited.
