Fairies of the Forest - Art Photography by Yume Cyan

I found this via a new favorite blog, Laughingsquid.

I had never seen Fireflies until I moved to New York as an adult (Fireflies don't appreciate Alaska!) I remember being out on a date one late summer night near the edge of a forest and being enchanted by seeing them for the first time. So, this series of long exposure photographs by Yume Cyan brought back a smile and a fond memory.

I hope it does for you as well.

Art Nouveau Lighting Fixtures

I am seriously challenged with getting back to regular blogging after having had my life eaten by three months going through The Founder Institute.

While I'm getting my groove back on, let's ogle some Art Nouveau lighting fixtures - many of which are probably more expensive than your rent/mortgage payment - but that's just how we roll here.

I'm thinking I should create a new label category called "things I want but can't afford."
