ikea hacker


loving all things ikea, i was thrilled when a friend told me about the blog ikea hacker which transforms plain old ikea stuff into original and innovative pieces - like the portfolio featured above which is fashioned out of two ribba frames, gorgeous patricia fabric and some additional hardware. say yes, to great ideas!

i am sorry that my postings have been rather sporadic as of late, i promise to get back on track. i thought that i would snap some images of my garden in bloom. it is in its glory in spring!

intermezzo

i had to post this piece of music from composer pietro mascagni's cavalleria rusticana. soaring, majestic and melancholy - turn up the volume, if you will.
