now that i am in my 40’s, my eyesight seems to gets WORSE every day. every. SINGLE. day. for now, i am a frequent customer in the walgreens readers department . . . but i can see that soon from now, i will have to go to a REAL optha opta opfa opthe ophthalmologist to get a LEGITIMATE prescription. for me, this eyesight loss is the hardest part about aging. i hate having to rely on a device to read. and my 20 pair of readers currently in circulation ALL seem to end up in one corner of the house (which sucks when you live in a 3 story townhouse), or going missing completely. very frustrating.

here is a bright tart to brighten up this dreary weather (which i do love). i am not a big fan of the sweets (unless they are drenched in chocolate) but i really love to draw cakes and candies and pastries. i could easily spend hours in a bakery, just me and my sketchbook. to me, they are like beautiful little jewels perched behind their glass cases. and it’s one of the few places where i am actually drawn to the colors.

i recently designed the logo for this new and lovely restaurant in san francisco called PLOW. fresh. seasonal. delicious food. and a beautifully designed space. maxine + joel learned some of their best tricks from working at oliveto, 42 degrees and campton place . . .

yixing teapots are so beautiful in their simplicity and functionality. my sister, who lived in china for a number of years, has a huge collection of them. did you know that traditionally, some Chinese would pour the tea from the spout directly into their mouths ? i love that visual.
though i fully intended to start my hiatus this year, i have been immersed in the studio working on collaborations with diva, jess, and terrain. i’ve never collaborated before, as i am the proverbial lone potter, but i am finding huge satisfaction in it. who knew ?

this is one of my favorite breakfasts (which i’ve been eating ever since my doctor reprimanded me). i do NOT like to eat real strawberries . . . i find those little pits quite annoying when they get stuck in my teeth, plus they are often too tart. BUT, i have ALWAYS loved fake strawberry flavoring. as a child, i would inevitably gravitate towards the strawberry soda and the strawberry milk. so for me, strawberry flavored kefir is the perfect way to start the day. i am also very excited about ODWALLA’S new strawberry protein monster drink. the flavor of it brings me right back to my childhood . . . and it’s packed with protein, to boot !
