Rainy days and Mondays

Designfynder posted an article on designfynder - Mar 21, 2011, 6:31 pm
It doesn’t often rain in Los Angeles. If you complain about the heat people say, ‘well, it is a desert’, with such finality that you wonder why anyone ever chooses to live here. When I first saw Elizabeth Patterson’s pencil drawings I figured she lived in some kind of closed climate zone som...

Galerie du Maroc

Designfynder posted an article on designfynder - Dec 8, 2010, 10:30 am
If Morocco makes you think of souks, vivid textiles and tagines – a Hitchcock movie too (The Man Who Knew Too Much) – think again.  Galerie du Maroc is the brainchild of James Engleman. He travels another part, far from the tourist trail, to find intricate, handmade accessories, furniture and r...

John & Yoko

Last month, Mark Chapman was denied parole again whilst admitting that he had a list of celebrities he wanted to kill, (including Elizabeth Taylor), because he wanted to be a ‘somebody’. Sadly for John Lennon, this photo by Annie Leibovitz for Rolling Stone, was taken just hours before that shoo...

Hip Home

You know the decorative wall sticker has come a long way when you find The Binary Box paying homage to the subversive graffiti artist Banksy. An easy way to be hip, without any artistic effort.

Sucker For Succulents

Designfynder posted an article on designfynder - May 12, 2010, 12:00 pm
I love succulents.  They provide texture and great color to any garden.  They need little water to survive and as a result they are super hard to kill.  That’s an important factor for me because I tend to have a black thumb. I finally had gave up planting blooming flowers in my hanging basket....

Designfynder posted an article on designfynder - Mar 9, 2010, 12:00 pm
I met Hillary Thomas for lunch a short time ago.  I really can’t believe we hadn’t “officially met”.  We share many of the same friends and had even been at some of the same weddings and showers. I had heard she was charming, fabulous, stylish, creative, an amazing designer and creator of ...

This recipe is so satisfying we often have it as a mid week main course.  It’s delicious and easy.  I often make a double batch of the dressing and then save it for another salad the following week.  Also, to save time Trader Joe’s has butternut squash cut up and cubed, dump in a pan and go. ...

Christopher Marley: A Strange Specimen

I was watching the CBS show, Sunday Morning, a few weeks ago and saw a profile of Christopher Marley. By coincidence, we have a framed pitcher plant which we bought at Goldbug in Pasadena, which I recognized immediately as one of his creations. By the way, if you’re at all squeamish please don...
