The { A } List: Volume 1 Issue 1

Reading blogs = coolness.

I feel like I have seen so many new things over the last couple weeks through links from other's blogs. How cool that we can share things that we like, are inspired by, make us laugh, etc.

So here is what is doing it for me right now:

{ A } 1 : Pantone Universe. I am prepping for my CKU Color Class right now and am devouring color information. Pantone has positioned itself as the authority on color - and for good reason. This is their newest venture - an interactive online magazine "designed to be the ultimate online resource, with articles about fashion, home and beauty -- all through the portal of color."

{ A } 2 : Magnificent Wine Company House Wine. How could I resist that label?  A reasonably priced red that makes me happy.  All the labels from this company are black and white designs. So perfectly unpretentious.

{ A } 3 : This layout by Joy Uzarraga.

{ A } 4 : Black Composition Notebooks. There was a great article in Real Simple this month about lists and the people who make them. It inspired my to buy one of these classics again as a home for all my lists.

{ A } 5 : Finally getting my studio space back in order. I was living in piles for way too long. I moved the storage box-things out from the metal shevles and attached them to the wall. Made more space for more stuff, right?

 { A } 6 : So many nice people connecting with me through email. Thank you.

{ A } 7 : Chris taking time last weekend to purge his clothes collection. He still had things in there from high school (forgive the slight blur on this photo). He loaded it all in the car and took it to Goodwill. Nice work.

 { A } 8 : Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life. Another Tina suggestion. Just started it last night. Buy it now.
