His Name is Buick

This is my love....


and his name is Buick~


Buick
is the name the pet shop gave him~
Noel decided not to change it.
Each kitten in the litter
was named after a car....
Buick had two sisters,
one named Mercedes
&
one named Lexus~
His brother was Ford~
Buick
loves to be a part of
anything new that comes in
the house.
He especially was fond of this
vintage zebra prop
made of wood
&
covered in dyed zebra print~
He was sad when it sold...
I love my little boy!

Where is Home?


When I first met my husband,
he told me Home to him
is where ever I am.
Nothing has ever meant
more to me....
I knew then, how much
he loved me.
He never even had to say
"I love you"~


I believe
Home holds our souls.


Home is where beauty, comfort

&
function all unite as one....

I believe Home is
where our hearts sing....
and sometimes this may
be somewhere far far away...
or
with someone very very special~
Where do you think
Home is?

Fresh logo for Snowglobe

About a month ago Linden Lab launched a contest on 99designs with the intention of finding a fresh new logo for the Snowglobe viewer. I must say I was very curious about the winning design. Reaching to the community for a product logo instead of hiring a professional may bring unexpected results - either in a positive or a negative way. 99designs is a group focused around design, but it's still risky to use online service like this, since a logo is not merely a graphic element but a part of company and product identity. It does give you an idea on how much Linden Lab appreciate the power behind a community nonetheless.

The winner was chosen and I definitely want the new logo on my desktop :) Just look at the old logo and the new one.

Snowglobe logo - old and new

I like how the new one refers to Linden Lab logo, the Snowglobe itself and the primitive cube. I'm not very fond of the bold contour but I still like this design and definitely prefer the new colours. It's fresh, vivid and 'juicy', it's simple, and what's more important - it's memorable and versatile.

You can see the rest of the entries on the contest page. There were some interesting designs worth seeing. Also, take a look at the cute ones with hippos: here, here and here :) Awww... ^^ They're too complex to become logos, but they're so adorable.

So what do you think about the new logo? Which entry would you call your personal favourite?

Contrast


There is something about
the balance of contrast
that I have always
loved~

Black & White
is my constant favorite.


Even if it is white on white
placed on black...

Or if it is still another
amazing image
Corey took for her
guessing game over at

I adore,
this vintage Chanel wedding
window display
in Paris~


I found
the contrast of old & new
is in this photo I took
of a Dior window in Paris...
An old broken
beaded chandelier
not hanging leans next to the
new white dress forms~

This favorite statue of mine

is

the contast of a rough old white

stone texture that was once smooth~

This is my collection
of white glazed
Astier de Villatte
pottery placed in an
old dark Welsh Cupboard
that was given to me from
my Mom~

Have a very special week
my most beautifuls~

New shoes

I came across this fun machinima by Tommylee Nightfire and I just had to share it. Colorful, hilarious and cute. Also, nice and creative idea for the ending part of the clip :)
