Fence of Pencils

Fence of Crayons, originally uploaded by Saima.

I tracked this back and back and back through various blogs (it's done the rounds a bit) but I still can't find out who took the original picture! It's so fantastic though it has to be worth sharing. If I ever manage to buy a house this is what I want it to look like.

Take a theme - and run with it...

Neiman Marcus

This is a beautiful book from American brand Neiman Marcus to celebrate their centenary. If I had a spare $125 I'd be right on it. But I don't, so I'll have to look at the lovely pictures of it on NOTCOT instead.

Perhaps it's our affinity for the dramatic. Or maybe it's our penchant for the out-of-the-ordinary. Whatever the case, documenting our 100 year history in a book could never be a mundane undertaking.
