This video came from the PBS show Jean-Michel Ocean Adventures. This video is a major slap in the face. A REALITY CHECK FOR ALL. Check out Jean-Michel Cousteau Ocean Adventure

Tuesday, April 28th, 2009Open Weave Dress
Tuesday, April 28th, 2009
I just enjoy the look of this dress. It is handwoven by kelgwo and is perfect for the current weather we are having here in New England. You can find and purchase these handwoven pieces on etsy. There is also a nicely designed website that you can check out if interested. www.kelgwo.cl.
Paul Rand
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009A couple of weeks ago I was at a gallery exhibit, and someone had mentioned something about form and content. I then blurted out that form follows content but I was stuck after that. I had to much wine at the time and couldn’t remember who I was quoting. The next morning I realized it was Paul Rand and so I wanted to put this video up to reacquaint myself with this Graphic Design Legend. This video is great because Paul just tells it like it is and when you listen to him you realize that nothing has changed. Clients and designers still have the same issues, but he had such a great sense of humor about it. There are plenty of other Paul Rand videos on YouTube. If you have some time I suggest checking them out. This video was also a lot of fun to watch.

I found this image on design sponge and I love the whole concept. I’m seeing ideas of old PMS chips or sheets from outdated PMS books. Very interesting! You can see the full story here.
Fantastic Fudge Brownies
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
This recipe came from the April Body & Soul magazine. I made them two weeks ago and they were so very chocolaty & velvety smooth. Yummy! The recipe calls for sweet potatoes and cuts out fat content that is in traditional fudge brownie recipes. I didn’t feel bad about eating them either. Unlike all those chocolate chip cookies we made for Easter. You can find the Fudge Brownie recipe here Enjoy!
RI Pet Show
Tuesday, April 14th, 2009
This is a picture of Thunder at the Rhode Island Pet show wearing his new collar that was donated by The Classic Pup. I volunteered to help the Friends of Attleboro Animal Shelter at the Petfinder booth. Thunder, a sweet pup came along to represent the animals at the shelter. He was the main attraction at the booth and everyone loved him. The owners at the booth next to ours, The Classic Pup were also taken by Thunder and donated a dog collar to him. Thunder was adopted a week or so after the show into a good loving home. Congratulations Thunder!

Montreal Trip
Saturday, April 11th, 2009We stayed at Le Guilleret In old Montreal for three days. Old Montreal was very similar to Boston; cobble stone streets lots of snow and cold weather. The picture posted is of a beautiful chandelier that hangs in the hotel lobby at Le Guilleret.
