Today's a gorgeous fall day so I ventured out for an early morning Flea Market hunt at the Fairgrounds. I scoured rows and rows of vendor's wares and left with some nice loot! I came across a table covered with Pyrex bowls and other kitchenware goodies and found this beautiful 70s casserole dish. I see a warm Minnesota hot dish in the near future!<br />
When I spotted a box of arrows displayed on the edge of one vendor's table, I knew taking just one or two home wouldn't do. After attempting to haggle with the man, I surrendered to his firm price and hooked the whole box securely under my arm. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do with them yet, but aren't they great all together? I'm thinking of displaying them in a tall glass jar to show off their bold colors or hang them somehow. I'd love to hear your display ideas!<br />
My last purchase was this little red leather Coach bag. It's perfect for when I don't want to haul a ton of stuff around so I'm sure I'll get a lot of use out of it. Now Beans and I are going to head out for a hike in the woods and admire the changing fall colors. Happy flea hunting and enjoy this beautiful weekend!Katie Larsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903182841791419805noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250706566960006565.post-14546180692515138982011-07-09T17:54:00.004-05:002011-07-11T00:06:00.233-05:00sweet birthday gifts<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8jhNIQYGZNbBSetuatTCAuzMuqCfpRsMXoGC56exIfsdmwRYLxb77jdb2zjHLpYlJrmm_J6ZaPrFDBoCOCOlkpnUcWAXXd9qrKQb9OoRP0iAMJWr1zdRFmYcHjvLe9xbeJOOE55bDzM/s1600/DSC_0069.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC8jhNIQYGZNbBSetuatTCAuzMuqCfpRsMXoGC56exIfsdmwRYLxb77jdb2zjHLpYlJrmm_J6ZaPrFDBoCOCOlkpnUcWAXXd9qrKQb9OoRP0iAMJWr1zdRFmYcHjvLe9xbeJOOE55bDzM/s640/DSC_0069.JPG" width="640" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1ywWjN_YCNPD-UYKD0KecCScpZCofmqneHFhG4kZufHCyRLdSh9jENIngJ3dCHVMxtOL7-QbLYOEfLQY_Jhqvj9RkH_SR5-37QCKKGs13YW1kpEOd2WoUXI5l2HcEnkoOY-_Ap_C26Y/s1600/DSC_0058.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH1ywWjN_YCNPD-UYKD0KecCScpZCofmqneHFhG4kZufHCyRLdSh9jENIngJ3dCHVMxtOL7-QbLYOEfLQY_Jhqvj9RkH_SR5-37QCKKGs13YW1kpEOd2WoUXI5l2HcEnkoOY-_Ap_C26Y/s640/DSC_0058.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />

Deconstructed mechanical objects are reexamined as intricate sums of parts in <a href="http://www.toddmclellan.com/">Todd McLellan's Disassembly project</a>. By revealing the inner elements and precisely rearranging them, McLellan brings new life to forgotten objects. These mechanical graveyards illustrate how old technology is lost to new innovations while celebrating the beauty of each and every element. I'm amazed how so many tiny pieces some together to make one usable object function!<br />

My apologies for the lack of posts lately. I'm working on some updates to the site, making a few tweaks here and there. I plan to start posting on a weekly basis soon so please bear with me!<br />

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the bus guss mood board I assembled for <a href="http://www.decor8blog.com/eclasses/">Holly Becker's blogging your way e-course</a>. I had so much fun discovering inspirations and compiling objects!

I'm trying to pack in a bunch of gallery visits before I start my new job, so I thought I would start at the MIA where there is a great exhibit featuring Minnesota artists. Held once every 10 years, "Foot in the Door" is an open exhibition for all Minnesota artists. Works no larger than a 12 inch cube are crowded together, practically floor to ceiling, in three rooms.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWSoqPGo3oEMq4HJmWvfxE_ouVOeGGW7I-2jTFcpoNn5W7dH-BySArd12rOnAHPylamX48eDvks_ua4iKi-uBxNVzLw6Zlxqd-8BMVsYycOtiBjzq1iMueyxJ30qZiuRE_R48IvX3xjso/s1600-h/4371270160_1413b8d725_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWSoqPGo3oEMq4HJmWvfxE_ouVOeGGW7I-2jTFcpoNn5W7dH-BySArd12rOnAHPylamX48eDvks_ua4iKi-uBxNVzLw6Zlxqd-8BMVsYycOtiBjzq1iMueyxJ30qZiuRE_R48IvX3xjso/s320/4371270160_1413b8d725_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441958110616390978" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2kuQ6CWFF8X0CbhjQtzgcWFRT-t7sjLfB6QdLPUUyjuQOAMplwJsGt_7Rtw-n8GD75hOn5I8ErH0VjvLONtWZh2-s117fYv9RUkK5rpWCY3Tfy2PmnRisqwi1kW0hNhRZkFpWuGfvu7c/s1600-h/4359740604_3ba73fe987_o.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2kuQ6CWFF8X0CbhjQtzgcWFRT-t7sjLfB6QdLPUUyjuQOAMplwJsGt_7Rtw-n8GD75hOn5I8ErH0VjvLONtWZh2-s117fYv9RUkK5rpWCY3Tfy2PmnRisqwi1kW0hNhRZkFpWuGfvu7c/s320/4359740604_3ba73fe987_o.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441958103360144402" border="0" /></a><br />In addition to this exhibit, I truly enjoyed the large, diverse collection the MIA offers. I spent most of my time browsing through the contemporary art galleries as well as the Native American textile collection. I also loved the Modernist Design galleries containing great examples of the American Arts and Crafts movement, Wierner Werkstatte, Bauhaus, and Art Deco. Since I studied the history of Industrial Design and Furniture Design, it's always fun to see these pieces in person.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy some of my favorites!

The combination of old, delicate book pages, translucent inks, and geometric forms is so lovely.<br /><br />I like how Olivia explains her work in her profile:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />My creative process is continually influenced by my fascination for used paper; I enthuse about working on a surface that has already been given a sense of purpose in a previous incarnation. Letters, books or journals for example are detached from their original role and are combined with imagery drawn from unexpected perceptions of beauty.</span><br /><br />See more of her work <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/restlessthings">here</a>.Katie Larsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09903182841791419805noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7250706566960006565.post-40261961846536329142010-01-22T12:52:00.005-06:002010-01-22T13:46:30.696-06:00floral clusters<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image1.etsy.com//il_430xN.115397465.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 430px; height: 322px;" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com//il_430xN.115397465.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image2.etsy.com//il_430xN.73637998.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 430px; height: 286px;" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com//il_430xN.73637998.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image1.etsy.com//il_430xN.116731649.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 430px; height: 322px;" src="http://ny-image1.etsy.com//il_430xN.116731649.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://ny-image3.etsy.com//il_430xN.87304327.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 430px; height: 287px;" src="http://ny-image3.etsy.com//il_430xN.87304327.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I'm really into glamorous vintage stud earrings right now.
