It is going to be a beautiful, sunny week in Milwaukee. I have to remind myself that these quintessential summer days are fleeting In Wisconsin and take some time for a long walk on the beach and dinner on the patio. If you need a little break, check out my favorite links from around the web this week...

• I was completely riveted by the story of the Thai soccer team, weren't you? It was no comparison but late on the evening of the Fourth of July, my son George got stuck in an elevator with his bandmates for nearly three hours. It was dark and hot and crowded. He did great. This is a long intro to share with you this creepy elevator story.
  

• Talk about getting stuck in the dark: some of you might enjoy this website and its black and white cave of elucidation.
  

• My blogger friend, Brenda, discovered this photographer's book and was struck by the haunting beauty of his portraiture.
  

• I love his garden photography, too.
  

• Enjoy the subtle art of spelling out wealth and beauty in Harvard Magazine's personal ads. Ridiculous and hilarious.
  

• This illustrator, who will be featured on the blog soon, commemorated her wedding anniversary in such a neat way!
  

• Take a peek inside Clare Vivier's closet here. Adore!
  

• This was a fun read about painter John Singer Sargent, and his subjects and interiors. I'm guessing he and his paintbrush made use of certain slimming techniques. Corsets or not, those waists seem impossibly tiny!
  

• This is me. Is this you too?
  

• Antiques of the Week: Great price on this gorgeous MCM candelabra.
