I eat too much candy
Candy doesn't count as empty calories if it comes in cute tins.

  1. I own Ways of Seeing by John Berger too! Have you read it? I was thinking of starting it just today.

  2. your shelves look so fun and colorful! i love the print you made of your fam, and i LOVE seeing all the toys and candy boxes (i have tons of the same on my shelves too :). and you are right- if it's candy in a tin, there are 0 calories. ~joelle

  4. Jenny-I thought it was worth reading, but a bit polemical and dated in certain parts. It did make me rethink how I look at certain periods of art, however. I also highly recommend Design as Art by Bruno Munari, which I bought at the same time.

    Thanks Joelle and Eunice!
