Photographs of dancers. And of Dandies. And dogs. Abraham Lincoln's pocket watch. Naps. Breaths. Trees. Ingo Maurer's lamp. Buttons. Lists. These are some of my favorite thigns.

My Favorite Things

Laura Mauler

Love love love this little book. The author's favorite things are not necessarily my favorite things, but her depictions and descriptions make me consider them more closely; ah, now I see. Her artwork is slapdash yet detailed, and more than anything it shows you the essence and essentials of the thing. I cried a little when I saw her needlework pieces that she made when her mother died.

Jeannette Ordas

Gorgeous illustrations and her hand written text is just as lovely. The first part of the book about her family history is charming and is followed by interesting museum objects in a museum as well as her own collection. A good read for anyone drawn to a collection of objects and the meanings we put upon them.
