I love these fantastical scientific illustrations by Katie Scott; they are interpretations of the concept of biological hybridization in antiquity. Look nicethat.com/articles/student-of-the-month-katie-scott” target=”_blank”>here for an interview with the artist (who is a 3rd year student, by the way)!
I just came across this post which took me to this post, which then totally took me down memory lane. I grew up in Northern California and my dad was a pilot, so I grew up flying with my dad in small airplanes. We’d fly to almost anywhere that had an airstrip, especially if there was cool, kid-friendly stuff within walking distance from the airport. The Nut Tree in Vacaville was one- there was a little airstrip literally steps away.
It’s one destination I remember going on more than one occasion and loving- from these photos you can see why! Granted these photos were taken about twenty years before I went there, but honestly it hadn’t changed too much by the 80’s. These photos reflect my memories of the place. There was a restaurant, toy shop, sweets shop, a train, and the feeling like you were at playground for kids and grown-ups. Sad that the original is not around anymore… people didn’t know what they were missing.
Thanks to Cathy for the reminder of this childhood favorite. Seriously, check out these photos to see exactly how awesome this place was. I appreciate the modernism so much more now than I did then.
I can’t stop thinking about the lovely simplicity of this dress by Correll Correll at Stand Up Comedy. I would want to wear it every day…
…to my jewelry collection! Found in this shop for a very decent price. It’s going to fasten a vintage gold swing coat that I have. I had been using a big old kilt pin, but this is what I’ve been looking for.
(can you tell by how beat up my hands are that I’ve been making jewelry lately?)
This Equadorian rug from the Nazmiyal Collection on Weird Friends just blew my mind.
