Paper faces on parade...

For Halloween, Alissa and I went to a masquerade ball/wedding in Milwaukee. Above is the illustration created by the talented Rory Kurtz which was used for their invitations and programs. It was a great event topped only by the fact that we got to dress up in fun masked costumes!

Gran's Candlesticks




I was browsing 1st Dibs last night and came across this familiar looking set of silver candlesticks. It was only 20 minutes later I was able to place them. This is the same candlestick that Harry Allen used to create his popular "Gran's Candlestick." Wouldn't it be fun to have a table-scape with silver and resin versions of these babies side-by-side?
