Window Wednesdays: Boston Windows

I know this is a bit belated, but I wanted to wrap-up my findings before this Wednesday approaches. I have great local windows to share. Boston was fun to capture, but nothing compares to New York City windows.

So excited to see that England's Paperchase is here in the States. My 2007 planner was from the England shop & I searched high & low to try and find one I loved as much for 2008. I never did. Next year I'm calling up this Boston shop for my favorite planner.

Notes from the 2008 HOW Conference

I'm here at the HOW Conference & my head is spinning with all the amazing advice, inspiration, and design sessions I've attended. More to come later this week. For now here's what some of the other conference attendees are saying!

Designers: GIMME the SCOOP, John S. Howard, The Search's Kiss, The How Design Blog, UnderConsideration Day 1, and UnderConsideration Day 2.

Boston Weekend Wrap-up

Enjoyed the b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l weekend weather here in Boston. Glad the weather reports were inaccurate, (not a drop of rain) so I was able to enjoy the SOWA Market, SOWA Artist Studios, the SOWA Artist Guild 450, and ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) Museum.

Some artists I loved---

SOWA Market (great illustration on sign)

SOWA Sign (great type & graphics)

Starbucks had some great magnetic tables to interact with, while enjoying complimentary drinks!

Also got to stop by the NEW & FABULOUS store Grand. I read about it on Daily Candy and in Lucky Magazine. Great products, interiors, and the owners are super-friendly.
The ICA building is an architectural gem. I tried to capture the angles and views the space created.

Amstel on Amsterdam

May 15 - I spotted the Amstel Light mobile on NYC's 'Amsterdam Ave'. Seems they are having some Dutch Takeover Events during the summer months.
