Allow me to brag for a moment: I learned the other day that my little brother has a tempura painting on display at the De Young in an exhibit of SFUSD students' work. He, somehow, had not been aware of this and only noticed that his painting was on the wall while he and Mom were at the Museum. All I have to say is, SUCKA WHAT!

Frank Lloyd Wright LEGOs

If LEGOs had a monopoly on your childhood as well, time to bust a nut:

The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation and Brickstructures, Inc. recently announced the production and distribution of FLW's Guggenheim and "Fallingwater." These additions to the Architecture line were released May 15 at the opening of the Frank Lloyd Wright Exhibit: From Within Outward at the Guggenheim. BAH!

"Both exclusive Frank Lloyd Wright LEGO Architecture sets contain booklets that feature traditional building instructions along with exclusive archival historical material and photographs of each iconic building. " - Prairie Mod

Ethan, teeth-clenched: "Emmy, after I finish building my AT-TE Walker, if anyone touches it... UGH!"

The San Francisco Museum of Craft+Design

550 Sutter and Mason

This exists! I hadn't known.. you too?

The building was home to Elizabeth Arden's Red Door Salon in the '50s-'60s after a long run as an art/antiques store in the '20s. I love red/primary colors with light gray - the red door must have looked amazing. The Museum proudly "continues the legacy of showcasing objects of visual delight and sensation to our visitors." Delight and sensation? - Ohg yes!

Anyways, they're closed Mondays so I'll definitely be there tomorrow. I so 'cited!

Best gift exchange ever!

We'd simultaneously gotten each other pointless little gifts out of pure love. Pure love!!

What I got Lillian and Tim because, well, you ought to see this post to undermastand:

$5, Park Life on Clement

They make v productive trips to Marshalls for cheap home decor and knew how hard I've lusted after this salt and pepper shaker set. What I've wanted for so long/blogged about several times:

$3.99 at Marshalls by Red Vanilla!

Otherwise, $30 at the MoMA Store by Alberto Mantilla. The copyright/design difference is in the placement of the face holes. The original MoMA version has them hugging; mine seem to be going in for a kiss. Cheers for $4 fakes!

Iz so happy wid mah new frenz!

Happy first, sweet sweet blog!

To celebrate, cake as I nearly always see it - halved and halved and nearly almost finished:

Have just remembered that there is Ethan-birthday-cake in the fridge. :)

AT did a roundup of laundry bags, of which India Rose's White Devil Bag is for sheezy a standout. I don't even like tiered things! - but it works in such clean monochrome.
