beautiful. from mariage freres.
porcelain with gold enamel
blown glass. gorgeous.
right handed handle.

the drizzly weather we are currently experiencing in l.a. makes me dream of tea. i drink a lot of tea. mostly barry's gold blend. i think it's the best tea. with a little bit of sugar and milk. but i also like aromatic teas from laduree and mariage freres.

SONIA DELAUNAY

ever since being an art history student, i have been drawn to the artists of the 19th and early 20th century, especially the women. they were usually not well recognized and were over shadowed by their husbands/lovers. sonia delaunay is one of my favorites. she painted beautiful, colorful abstracts as well as designed fabric, clothing and costumes. there is an exhibition of her work at the cooper-hewitt in ny. it seems that prada fall '11 collection may have been inspired by delaunay.

RODARTE
