Friday Featured Art: Roping the Bear

I was looking for an image by Minerva Teichert, and I found this great painting. It's called Roping the Bear, and it's held by the BYU Museum of Art. I love the '30s style.

Thursday Tunes: Sting: 25 Years

Sting: 25 Years The Definitive Box Set came out on Tuesday. It's 3 CDs and a DVD and includes a hardcover book with complete lyrics. I already have most of Sting's stuff, and I have The Police box set, so I'm wondering if I need to get this, too. At $110 I'll have to think about it for a while... (Maybe I'll just get the highlight CD that comes out on October 18.)

Sundance Jewelry

I found an old Sundance catalog the other day, and it reminded me how fabulous their jewelry is. Aren't these jade earrings gorgeous? And the flower posts are super cute.

Persian-Style Rugs

Pottery Barn has some great Persian-style rugs among their offerings. When my husband traveled to Turkey in June, he learned all about rug weaving. Pottery Barn's versions seem pretty authentic and are imported. (Perhaps I'll have to find out if they're really Turkish!)

General Relief Society Meeting

I hope that you were able to watch the General Relief Society Meeting on Saturday night. It was fantastic! I especially loved President Uchtdorf's talk (of course). You can find the archives here.

Friday Featured Etsy Seller: Dishfunctional Designs

Did you see this Etsy seller in Country Living? Dishfunctional Designs makes jewelry from broken china pieces. I also liked the bent spoon bracelets.

Thursday Text: Agatha Christie

Have you read any of Agatha Christie's books? I have not, but I've seen a number of the Masterpiece Mystery episodes of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. After Shakespeare, Agatha Christie is the best-selling British author ever. I think that I would like to read one of her classics.

Monogrammed Pillows

I checked out the latest Martha Stewart Living from my library. It had some great ideas. I really liked these monogrammed pillows. See more monogram projects here.

Boden

Are you familiar with Boden? They are a fabulous British clothing company. They do a great job with color, and they have fantastic dresses.

Archicenter

We were in Chicago on Saturday, and we had a chance to stop in the Archicenter. It's the home of the Chicago Architecture Foundation. They do walking tours and river tours, and they have a fabulous shop. It has lots of great books, posters, and quirky gifts like these skyscraper bookends.
