Fall Accents in Red
We are having perfect Fall weather in LA at the moment which is quite wonderful as more often than not it goes from Summer to Winter (such as it is) here. Inspired by these textural and emotional accents in red!

Invitation: Book Party
Remember the wonderful book by Meg Mateo Ilasco called Crafting a Meaningful Home that features me and my close pal, my fridge:) Meg is having a book party at Rare Device in San Francisco this Thursday to celebrate so if you are in the area, this would be a great way to spend an evening and meet some of the talented folks featured.
A side room at Rare Device is being transformed into an all cardboard room displaying many of the projects in the book; and anybody who spends more than $60 in the store will receive a free copy of the book. Best of all the fun: there will be cupcakes from Mission Minis at the event! I won't be able to make it so if you do get there, have a cupcake for me!

Friday's Fabulous Woman: Coco Chanel
With Paris week just been and gone there has been lots of beautiful images of creative masterpieces all over the blog world, and then I just read a post about a new book called Coco Chanel The Legend and the Life by Justine Picardie, published last month by HarperCollins. So voila -- this week it's all about Coco!
I don't know much about Coco Chanel except that she created wonderful clothes and built an instantly recognizable brand. This new book by all accounts takes a look at the woman behind the name and is now on my reading list. There is a great interview with Justine Picardie, the author here.
One of the more interesting responses was "By the end I felt that she was really heroic, that she had a capacity to go on working when most people would give up, that in the face of heartbreak and adversity, and intense criticism she kept going. I think when I started all I knew really was the surface image of Coco Chanel."

African Fabric Celebration
Thousand apologies for being missing in action for a few days....got a bit swamped. But I'm back:)
Lovely post celebrating African fabric and featuring the new LAMB collection and the French armchair we covered in a combination of Grande Fleur in crimson and some block print fabric I bought in Cape Town eons ago. Thanks Pattern Observer for including us!
