Inspired, I took a picture of my paper issues, shown here with a painted straw basket, on an antique wicker table with a captain’s chair.
Compare this photo with my previous post. What do you think? Will I shake up the design world, or should I stick to writing (that means, of course, more papers. and books).
Martha will like this. Sit books in chairs. I’ll bet stacks of papers will work just as well. I have my stacks standing around. I think I’ll sit them down. And an entire wall of shelves, cabinets, etc.

I know my garden is messy. and old. But i enjoy the mishmash. What about that orchid? not bad for someone who has no garden know-how. The delightful thing flourished in spite of me!

In the accompanying May 30,2010 New York Times story, “The Great Unknown,” a blessing of war, it says, is the fact that, now, at least, we are able to name those we have lost. In earlier wars, we had no idea who the dead were. Small consolation.
“The sad reality is that there will likely be new recruits for Arlington’s ranks, now 300,000 strong,” Robert Poole, author of On Hallowed Ground said. “Though all losses are painful, perhaps we can take some consolation in the knowledge that the names of those who will sacrifice so much are unlikely to go unknown.”

Not for baby. Here’s some interesting wallpaper, although I don’t know in which room it should be hung. The bathroom? The kitchen? The mud room? How about the foyer? Or maybe the bedroom, where the images will inspire sleep???
