Heaven...in an editorial and a kitchen (#pkg mini update)

I've got two little pieces of ...


for you today.

First up, an astrological editorial for Vogue UK (styled by Shona Heath and photographed by Tim Gutt) that literally leaves me breathless...













ethereal, thoughtful and so so beautiful.

And now, part two of the celestial parade...a few shots of my newly installed marble...with some pretty partners...



And with that, happy Monday all...after a weekend spent touring Universities with the big kid, I'm looking forward to a beach day with the littles...hope the sun is shining where you are.

    The vogue shoot is adorable! I am cancer, and not being biased, it is definitely one of my favorites. Along with gemini, virgo, and leo. The pastels give it a beautiful ethereal feel.

    Lovely editorial too, but I'm a little pissed off that Pisces ended up in a trash can. What's up with that?

    This editorial is astrology done right unlike so many terrible cheesy others (ie America's Next Top Model's version). I love campaign furniture and in a kitchen... even better! Can't wait for the final reveal!
