25 Days of Light . Three
design read . BluDot
Ok, so this is not really much of a “read.” It’s more eye candy, but it has me like a kid in a candy store. I received a BluDot catalog in the mail a few months ago, and I keep going back to it. It’s an oversized uncoated design in that layout where you flip the book over halfway through to see the spec pages. I just love the look and feel of it. And I love the products. The self-proclaimed “modern furniture” line is both classic and new at the same time. But, the reason I plan to absorb it again this weekend is the off-center styling throughout the catalog. The BluDot message is “good design is good.” It is, and the photos in the catalog show their product line strewn with random touches of life, rather than in some pristine showroom atmosphere. It has a fun blend of mid-century and 21st century elements. I just love looking at the images, and the spec pages are just as engaging. Have some fun window shopping BluDot this weekend!

25 Days of Light . One
December is here, and I’m always so inspired by the sights and sounds and creativity of the holiday season. This year, I’ve decided to share a photograph posting series called 25 Days of Light, showing various images of Christmas lights. Who can resist the wonder and joy of the lights twinkling at Christmas time — around town and in your own living room? Last December, I took some photographs of the lights in the various places I celebrated. I hope you’ll see your own Christmas light in them this year. This first image is one used for the monthly desktop wallpaper images I usually do over at EyeJunkie.com, my writing blog. You can read my own hopes for this Christmas season there. I hope to continue posting some other inspirations and projects in addition to the photos as the month progresses.
May your days be merry and bright this December!
