The Wright stuff!
About the book:
"From about 1922-1932 Frank Lloyd Wright conducted a fascinating experiment in his quest to find a new system of construction using a standardized building material called the textile block system. Robert L. Sweeney has meticulously researched this system, providing a case-by-case account of each project, commenting on Wright's clients, collaborators, and contractors, and positioning Wright's experiment firmly within the larger historical context of the concrete block technology. The concrete block experiment was firmly rooted in the concept of architectural simplification that Wright established at the outset of his career. It was begun in Hollywood, where he was living at the time, but was part of a larger vision with global application"

PS, I LOVE FALL!
Maybe its the subtle signals that let us know that it's time to head inside. Days get shorter. Mornings (and evenings) get cooler; we start thinking a warm cup of cocoa sounds better than a milkshake and a tureen of hot soup preferable to a chopped salad.
FALL reminds us of the joys of spending more time inside, from snuggling up in a favorite chair with a good book to entertaining family and friends with inspired tablescapes.
It's the perfect time to add some NEW FALL FAVORITES to your environment. Inspired pieces that will surprise and delight your guests (and make you smile) this FALL and beyond.
So please take a moment to browse through our shop where we have featured some of our
FALL FAVORITES on the front page.
Just click on PS, I LOVE IT to the left to take a look!
