Did you know that Cartier has an activity book for children? Have a peek…
What do you think? How young is too young to teach children about the world of Cartier?

We stumbled on the La Cienega Art Walk happening this week in Los Angeles and thought we’d share with you some of the discoveries found there, courtesy of NotCot’s feature blog post.

When I was at Art Toronto earlier this fall I was really drawn to the work of Toronto-based artist Cathy Daley. Through her drawings, Cathy explores cultural representations of the feminine and the body. I like how these black and white pastel pieces are full of movement.

A little while ago, Mandy contacted me requesting permission to draw inspiration from my photo of the Saanen goats. Soon after I said yes, Mandy emailed me this photo of her amazing painting.

As you may or may not recall, I took this photo during one of my summer trips in Switzerland. I had no idea at that time how popular this photo could be (do you remember Leah‘s work?)!
Mandy’s painting is going to be part of an art exhibit to be held at the Chalet Hotel Hornberger in Saanenmöser (Gstaad area) over Christmas and New Year’s so if you’re in the area, please stop in and let me know what it’s like.
Yes – we all know I’m a sucker for books. I’ve got books in every room in my apartment (and I’ve actually read most of them too!) and I just love them all (if that doesn’t sound like an academic, I don’t know what does). I’ve been browsing the bookstores often lately and there are some really gorgeous, high-quality books currently on the market. Publishers like Taschen and Phaidon produce just beautifully clean books and I always get so much pleasure reading them – and then looking at them stacked up on a table or bookshelf. The five books featured here have easily grabbed my attention – because they’re white, yes – but also because they provide so much inspiration.
