| Sending love from Indian Rocks Beach Florida to Victoria |
To my great surprise this past week my copy of Smithsonian Great Design arrived on my doorstep.
Smithsonian's GREAT DESIGN book, written by Philip Wilkinson and published by the British DK publishing house.
Wilkinson takes the reader through an awe inspiring and thoroughly collection of the world's best design.
The gracious and beautiful Victoria from Art House Design generously gifted me with this very precious present.
Victoria's blog is one of my favourites. She writes about art, travel, family, design and recently is experimenting with the most delicous breads. Please stop by and say hello Victoria
What an awesome book and I love your shell art...on the beach! Enjoy your evening my friend. Sweet hugs!

Happy weekend!

How lovely for you Helen ….. I always think it's wonderful to win something from a blogger. I won quite a few things when I first started blogging and, whenever I pass the items that I won, that are displayed around our home, I always think of the person who so kindly sent them to me….. one of the great joys of blogging are the wonderful ' friends ' that we make.
ReplyDeleteI shall pop over and say hello to Victoria. XXXX

Congratulations Helen. I am a huge mid-century modern fanatic & this looks like a terrific book. What a fun giveaway. I will definitely have to visit Victoria's blog. Wishing you a lovely weekend!!
ReplyDeleteMy dearest Helen,
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful and thoughtful gift from Victoria. It must be right up your street. Like you, I absolutely adore Victoria and reading her blog, Art House Design. She has got the most fabulous taste. I'm so glad that you both are my dear friends. Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Congrats, Helen!! Such a beautiful catalog! Did you know I worked at the Smithsonian for over 5 years?
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Congrats Helen. Such a lovely book!
ReplyDeleteInteresting how attitudes to design change, isn't it. I have been reading about Henry Cole's views, he must have been one of the first people who seriously thought about design, as a topic. Before that, people did beautiful things but they did not seem to put it in the context of visual design
ReplyDeleteBonjour Helen. Thank you for stopping by this weekend. I am glad you and I agree about Stromae :-) Aren't you the lucky lady?! This looks like a fascinating book, and I know you will get much inspiration out of it. Take care. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteReally nice! LOVELY looking book...
