Boa Vista, Cape Verde

Casa Velha, gorgeous B&B on the water

Our roof top terrace

She wandered in the bar looking for food on our first night, almost named her Mojita

U gonna leave that face?


lots of sea turtle carcasses around, i naively thought they crawled on shore to die until they told me how delicious they are :( 



great people , great BBQ



wild melons in the middle of the crackled earth



our favorite local Italian restaurant, fresh lobster every night

Daddy teaching her how to dig

Design Week April 2009

2009 Design Week was great. This is an amazing space that gets completely revamped each year. The wall in the background is there always but it has no roof and this space is a crumbly old parking space throughout the year. Just look at the transformation!


see the temp ceiling....great designers occupy this space 


this is another great showroom called Dove Tu Sai



i want these 

fabric vases 

super cool wall clocks

HANDS DOWN THE best thing about Design week 2009, just look and drool at the next images

bronze and mirrored credenza








we were able to catch our friend's show at a small gallery, I love this one





love the Cloud chair by Richard Hutten







The Universita Statale always does an elaborate show, you can't miss this if you do Milan Design Week. Each year it's different and always amazing.  

these were giant swinging balls, don't be dirty


Fantastic Plastic!!


Forget closet doors , I want rolling panels like this!

I totally see this out by my pool , I couldn't take my eyes off it

We finished Design Week off with this gallery showing of some amazing artists.
