Best of Last Week

A silver lining about returning from a trip is catching up on all the blogs and magazines. Last week was pretty high-brow: Did you see the mysterious house on Fifth Avenue, the vintage silverware that Abbey bought at an auction (la di da!) and these funny wine tags?

British Slang: That's pants.

Last summer, we wanted to bring back the word rad. Now, we have a new funny British phrase to spread. My aunt Janey kept saying that the rainy weather in England was "pants," as in not good. Don't you just love that? :)

Way better than boring old white, don't you think? The ridiculously stunning and expensive vases are from Esque.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/06/

Back from England

Hello, everybody! How are you? We got home last night from a fabulous trip to England. Cornwall has cliff paths over the sparkling ocean, and Dorset has rolling hills with friendly sheep. We felt like we were at the ends of the earth. It was fantastic, especially when we discovered "Scrumpy," an extra-hard Cornish cider. As always, it's an adjustment to be back home--work seems so mountainous!

FestivALL! - Street Fair

FestivALL just keeps getting better and better. A few downpours didn't dampen the fun downtown today!

FestivALL! - Blues, Brews, & Barbecues

The great Sonny Landreth was in town today. I was excited. I learned about him from Eric Clapton's Crossroads Festival DVD. I really love electric blues guitar. The man's technique is astonishing.

Sad

Some people have plans to fix up this downtown landmark, but so far nothing is happening. I think they are waiting to get tenants lined up.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/06/

Women in Film

One more thing before I go: This Women in Film video is hypnotic and such a nice tribute. Who's your favorite? Mine is Diane Keaton with her happy smile.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/06/

Color-Me Wallpaper

How much would kids (and some of us grown-ups, let's be honest) love this Color-Me Wallpaper? You could pick a few colors to match your decor or just go nuts.Source URL: http://extravagancedeplumes.blogspot.com/2008/06/

Stripey stripes

Wouldn't these Kate Spade flats, on sale for $79, pair nicely with a white tee and dark skinny jeans? All part of an ongoing effort to look more French.

Mad Men.

Home Inspiration: Half-Covered Lightbulbs

A while ago, I posted about exposed light bulb pendants, but some readers were worried that the light might be too bright. Enter this half-mirrored light bulb, which directs the light upwards. Problem solved!

A new image for West Virginia

Today is West Virginia Day. A lot of bloggers are getting together to try and put forth a new image for our state. One of the things that I've noticed over the years is that I have a very different view of our state and our economy than the conventional wisdom. We hear lots of moaning about how there are no jobs and the economy is terrible, etc., etc. As an advertising photographer, I go around the state and I visit all sorts of businesses and organizations. If they are spending money to bring me to their location, chances are that these groups are growing and are doing interesting things. That's what I see, day in and day out, so my perspective is much more optimistic about what's going on here. Here are a few shots from some of those visits. I wish I had more time to dig into the files, but here are a few things I found with a quick browse.
