I am not a cynical person. I may be wallowing in my unfortunate circumstances at the moment but the optimist in me keeps rearing it's lovely head and saying 'look at the bright side'. I am in no mood for bright side's but I acquiesce because I am weak right now from the trauma of being a lemming. Okay, so the bright side about my job? It is in the design industry, in interior design to be precise, something I really, really wanted to get into. It's not a walk in the park, it's kind of gross. Sorry--the positive--I get free subscriptions to design magazines,three I can't stand, one I already have a subscription to and one that is completely awesome--World of Interiors. It looks similar to Architectural Digest in layout BUT the interiors feel very Country Living, but in a cool way not cutesy, (I like cute, cutesy sends me over the edge).
If you are not familiar (I wasn't) it's a Conde Nast publication (you know the kind folks that bring you Domino, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Lucky, Bride's, Gourmet, GQ, Cookie, etc, etc, etc...) It's an English publication (another reason why I love). I thought I would show you this little visual feast of a story they did on amateur Victorian naturalist Olivia Tonge. I think the juxtaposition of subjects and the quirky comments are very now and very up Miss B's alley. I might have to tear a page from her naturalist book and do something inspired by them...
