GlimpseA few weeks ago, I made this large cutout, after my friend Candice asked me to make something for a large wall in her dining room. Candice and I were at school together, and met up again, almost 20 years later, after she bought a cushion from my Etsy shop. Isn’t that odd?

Cords and plugs
One fine day, Fine Little Day took a look under her desk… …and then HappySilly dipped her head (and camera) too.

A gang of chairs
This gang of Bauhaus chairs look to me like they’re up for anything. I wouldn’t like to have them coming down a dark alleyway at me. Found at 2 or 3 things I know, who found them at reference library.
