This is dedicated to my mother in law, a woman whom I have never met, but whose strength, creativity, style, courage, humor, maternal love and love for life is never forgotten. As a young single mother, raising two boys while struggling with breast cancer, Sally reminded her boys every day of their importance to this world. She taught them not to wallow in loss but turn it into gain for others. Brave as she was, she feared the unknown of the future for her children. Who would be there to comfort them, who would be there to give them hope.
She never saw her children past their adolescence. With a determination to create a positive legacy in his mother's name, Nick created the non profit, "Walk With Sally" which mentors children whose family's are coping with cancer. Because of this program, so many mother's have felt a sense of ease, knowing that their children were being supported emotionally and were not alone.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Talk to your doctor to make sure you are doing all you can to detect breast cancer as early as possible. Early detection greatly increases your chances of surviving breast cancer. While you are at it, forward this to your best friend or wife or sister to make sure she is doing the same. For more information on screening, treatment and donating please contact the National Breast Cancer Coalition, Walk With Sally and the Susan G. Komen Foundation. A few friends are posting pink today as well;

poster child

The art ranges from work by Guerrilla artists such as Taki 183 {famous for his Graffiti art on 183rd street in Washington Heights } to the Octogenarian David Weidman, probably best known for creating 'Mr Magoo' and 'Rocky and Bullwinkle'.
featured in "In Her Shoes" at High Heeled Foot in the Door this week...

it's the one about headboards... and a bonus how-to video

I covet the covered headboard. Anytime I see a great one I pull it for my overflowing file.

actually that's not true, I like the nailheads here.
I don't like a headboard to be too big or puffy. Tight, and a thin-ish profile works for me.
did someone say 'curvilinear'? {off topic, but I love those, monogrammed orange euro shams}
tall is good, you want to be able to see the head board when the pillows are up against it. But keep in mind, if you have a pitched ceiling, you don't necessarily want a really tall headboard.
I had forgotten about this little twin set {above} I've always loved this shot. Not only are the colors lickable, those monogrammed shams, slay. I'm guessing but don't know for sure that they're Leontine.

Back to that Colcha covered headboard that I coveted......What I didn't know was that headboard- the one that I met in Mexico, had an established fan base. {It appeared in Cookie magazine in '05} And Grace Bonney of design*sponge, was one of them. So inspired was she, that she went out and made herself one. Watch here as she recreates her own version of the One and Only headboard.


nailheads and swoopiness. I'm begining to like it the more I write this post. Sometimes you have to lay it all out before you can see it
I love this headboard, even though it's a naked headboard. These last few are late additions as more than a few of us have headboards on the brain. Found these over at smittendesigns.com. thanks reader, 'elly e' for the headsup.

London calling...Jeremy Dickinson
loving the work of British artist, Jeremy Dickinson. Using toy cars from his own collection, beat up, chipped, well loved... all in a crayon box color pallet paired against, grayed gritty backgrounds.

Seven Buses 2009
20 x 20 cm

Locopark II 2009
35.5 x 61 cm

Ten Reds 2008
46 x 46 cm
Dickinson's work brings to mind the minimalist tendencies of Donald Judd and the automobile sculptures of John Chamberlain.

Plant and truck Wall 2008
76 x 254 cm

Autopark (Causeway Spectrum) 2008
51 x 178 cm

Autostack (Plymouth Plaza) 2009
