Happy Weekend! It's been an incredibly busy week as there is a big wedding tomorrow (!!!)
, so I am going to sign off for the day! November 2008. The daily beast recently challenged eight former project runway designers to conjure up an inaugural gown for our lovely new first lady, michelle obama. but, there's a twist. in the spirit of eco-design, the recession, and PR's "make it work" premise, the designers were only allowed to use the following materials to create their couture: 1). the fabric from laura bush’s 2005 oscar de la renta inaugural ball gown.2). burlap sacks.3). an american flag.4). $10.00 worth of trims of their choosing. also, the designers were given this challenge before they knew who would be the first lady. therefore, their designs needed to work for both michelle or cindy. behold, the results, kittens. get your pencils ready, sharpen the claws, and let's start the show: so...who is in and who is out?

This weekend I was perusing the online Goodwill website and came across an amazing wall clock from the 1950s that had a peach face, gold spokes and gold leaves. I put it on my watch list, and then unfortunately lost track of it and missed the bidding. In my continual search online for one to adorn our home, I came across this short but informative article from Collectors Weekly on the big-name designers behind these popular clocks. Check it out: "After World War II, design evolved from art deco and streamline moderne to mid-century modern, which reigned from the mid-1940s until the mid-1960s.
No corner of the home was untouched by this new, casual, atomic-era aesthetic, including furnishings and accessories such as clocks. George Nelson was undoubtedly the most influential clock designer of the period. Nelson had countless imitators, from Seth Thomas to Elgin to Lux to Westclox, although for many contemporary collectors, these vintage mid-century modern clocks are every bit as desirable.
