woodland tree coffee table

the jardim paulista residence by brazilian architect arthur casas is a nice modern dwelling, but what really caught my eye was that awesome slab o'tree coffee table: that is gorgeous! i just had my not-quite-as-large-or-diseased red oak cut down and i wish i had a slice as nice!

matryoshka mahem: trend or not?

after seeing two postings on web urbanist on the diversity of matryoshka (nesting) dolls, i decided to drag mine out for comparison...and a photo session! i have three different sets, thus making it a "collection". my favorite is the one of my family, (including black lab) because it shows both my mom and me wearing a piece of our own jewelry: that's cool! i also have a bill clinton one: not sure which one, if any, is hilary, but monica lewinsky is a stand out in her blue dress! i also have two mini ones i received as a child when my parents went to russia in the seventies. some of the other images are from weburbanist, the others are from an etsy search for "nesting dolls". from madonna, to russian aristocratics, endangered animals and mp-3 charging stations, chess men and robots: those nesting dolls have it all. enjoy!

poppies are mind blowing
