How I Procrastinated This Week 08.07.18

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about living on a farm someday. I dream of a bucolic country life gardening, raising chickens, and having acres to roam. What do you dream of? If you need a little extra daydreaming, check out my favorite links from around the web this week...

  • Do you find yourself struggling to read? Me too. Apropos of that, here's this.

  • A Google doodle led me to this story of a forgotten female war photographer.

  • Apparently Facebook is going to meet with the staff at the Flemish tourism board who produced this video mocking the way Facebook has been censoring the work of Peter Paul Rubens.

  • This artist's articulated beasts would be wonderful in a child's room, on a Christmas tree, or hanging on a wall. I also love the DIY kits to make your own!

  • Not your typical western ranch: take a tour of the gracious Colorado home of Felicity Huffman and William H. Macy.

  • Everyone needs a nook for a book (or two).

  • My most favorite obituary writer (yes, I rank them) is retiring.

  • Antiques of the Week: These are the perfect jiggers for those who like to specify one finger or two. These Art Deco mermaid bookends can contain your collection of Patrick O'Brien perhaps. A little naughty ashtray / soap dish / ring dish for the bride (or groom) with a sense of humor.
