I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee, clouds in my coffee...

Oboy, I've been away! I know that's no excuse, but last weekend (Memorial Day weekend) we went down to Palm Springs and hung out with friends. As many of you design enthusiasts know, Palm Springs is full of great midcentury architecture and design. Our hotel was right across the street from the row of shops in the local "design district" and I thought I might be able to find a yard or two of this fabric I desperately needed for Ye Olde Dayjobbe.

Alas, nothing. Most of the shops there specialized in either midcentury, modern, or really antique pieces. I did see this 4'H x 3'W lantern that might have worked on a colleague's project at House 849:


Yeah, the architecture was an interesting mish-mash of Spanish/Meditarranean Revival and midcentury, but  what really took the cake was seeing these crazy UFO-shaped clouds one evening!



Definitely going back soon. Especially with the sad, cloudy weather San Francisco is currently having...

(PS: Another interior designer and blogger came to the rescue with the fabric from above. Thanks, Annie!)

Lenticular clouds! We see them in Antarctica all the time, frequent as they predict a change in weather, which down there is constant. They're found frequently in Patagonia, too, but can be anywhere in the world. You were lucky to see them!

Wow! Thanks for the info, Louise!
