My Desk Revisited - Behind-the-scenes postal...
In the past few months I have photographed several great desks & am looking forward to sharing them with you very soon. Most likely after the holiday madness!
Meanwhile, I am in the midst of assembling invitations for my 10th Annual Studio Sale! {December 4th & 5th}
Here are some images from that scene:
Wrapping each invite in a page from a 1940’s French ledger book, tres...

Chris
My Curiosity for Natural Curiosities…
Chris is the owner of Moss. I’ve known about Moss for several years and had only experienced it once in that time. Then this past holiday season (Christmas that is), I happened to be in Forest Park, and so I stepped in for what I thought was going to be a quick peek. At first glance the space looked quite spare so I thought I’d be on my way in a short...

Alyson
Alyson lives in Napa. I was lucky enough to be in San Francisco recently and drove up to be with her for one very short & sweet afternoon. She had recently moved (again) and mentioned before I arrived that her workbench was in the same room as her desk, and how efficient this new set-up will be. I was really looking forward to see how it all came together.
I have known Alyson for many...

Hannah & Layla

BZ: What’s your favourite thing on your desk?
H: My ultraviolet light.

Christine
Where there’s a desk there are drawers!
Christine’s desk is a solid oak, circa 1930’s schoolteacher’s desk & weighs in at approximately 400 lbs, without it’s contents.

Betsy
Betsy and I met recently through Greer Chicago. We both agree that Greer is the best destination in town for the latest in papery products, beautiful pens and pencils. We connected instantaneously!
In our initial conversations about Betsy’s desk it sounded remarkably small. I tried to imagine how she spent her time there, but figured I would understand once I saw it.
The child-size desk was...

My Desk
My life revolves around my desk…it’s the first place I go to in the morning, the first place I go to when I come home. I find it endlessly satisfying to be at my desk.
The desk is in our dining room, it is in fact our former dining table. It measures 39” x 62” x 29”. My husband purchased it 30 years ago when he was in South Africa . It had been a teachers’ desk in its original life and has...
