on my dining table…
Posted in (blog)house news, pia's photos, stylists own May 5th, 2009 by piablog

Right now my dining table is a still life vignette bonanza. Why? because I’m working on something! which you will see soon enough. But above is a little snapshot of part of what’s going on – a jumble of ceramic letters (from one of the gorgeous ceramicists featured in my book), a pair of dinosaur designs servers, and figs which i found yesterday: a tray of 8 for just 2 euro!! heavenly. as you can see there are already 2 missing. That’s because French Boy and I ate them for dessert last night with some goats cheese and a drizzle of delicious honey.

In other news I am busy answering emails, getting lists of stockists together, and trying to get a blog photo package together for those of you who have asked – thank you so much for wanting to spread the word about my book! I’ll be in touch with you soon. But in the meantime, did you see my third dialogue piece on Design for Mankind yesterday? Its about the future of art and design, and as you can imagine, I’m pysched! My enthusiasm for our future as artists & bloggers is apparent in the video, check out what I have to say, along with faythe levine and craig atkinson (warning: craig seems to think that handmade has been and gone. no way man!!) right here.

news in the (blog)house…
Posted in (blog)house news April 21st, 2009 by piablog

i love this vintage illustration of rye and oats, from etsy boutique shaving kits’ vintage paper.

while I continue my mission to find some rye stalks, I’d like to tell you about a few things going on around the (blog)house

…………………………………………………….

First of all, lovey stacy from la boudoir asked if I’d like to write a ‘do or die list’ for her new series. she made a beautiful montage of my photographs for my ‘do or die’ list, please check out the full post here! It was so nice to see her find all these photos from my blog, reminded me of some of my old posts from last year. thank you stacy!!

…………………………………………………….

Secondly, I have a facebook fan page! So, if you are a fan, and if you are on facebook, please come join us right here. I write about stuff I’m up to during the day that I don’t write about on the blog, so you’ll get a good dose of what’s going on in my life (if you are interested!)

…………………………………………………….

and thirdly, what happened to my nesting series, you might ask? I’ve had to put it on hold for the moment – sometimes i’m good at juggling my work and my blog, and other times i’m not… this is one of those times! I’ll get back to it, don’t you worry.

…………………………………………………….

that’s all really. i just thought i’d update y’all.

PS foux da fafa.
