making things pretty…

office treat…

If I ever, ever, EVAH get my office cleaned out, I may have to spring for one of these desk phones from Crosley. Because right now, the only phone in here is the one on the fax machine, which is stuffed into my desk and has a cord length of, oh, maybe 4.5″.

Usually I’d gravitate towards the shiny silver, but the matte black is purty too. I’d even forego the portability issue. Maybe I’d get one of those really long lines so that I could hang the phone body off of my hand and pace back and forth like they used to in the movies. Except that it would never be that cool in my life… because every time the phone rings, three children come running from the ends of the earth, demanding things they hadn’t even dreamed of seconds before. Loudly. Ahhhh, the magic of the telephone.

yoo-hoo! you, in the city of angels…

So, any of you loyal readers in LA? If so, please make a mental note about the Modernica Warehouse Sale on June 7.

Do you understand the plan? Let’s review, just to be clear: Wait for June 7 (or perhaps the day before if you want to camp out and really impress me), head to this big ol’ warehouse sale, grab any and all light blue and/or orange and/or white Eames shell chairs that you can find, then ship them all to me.

Mission accomplished.

heh heh heh…

Let me just start by saying that I came by this, ummmmm, vase on ebay honestly… I have a search set up for Vistosi pottery and glassware (like Mr. Unaffordable Bird) and this is what showed up in my inbox yesterday.

I am floored.

I am also dying laughing.
