Swedish Real Estate

Having been on a recent house hunting expedition, I feel qualified to comment on the state of how much more inspiring Swedish real estate is to look at, then here in Canada. I’d be asking where do I sign, before even visiting the place, if we lived over there! Using real estate ads for inspiration? Who would have thought!

“ What the events reveal is the thinness of the margin on which modernity lives…That thin edge on which we live, and which at most moments we barely notice, provided nowhere near enough buffer against the power of the natural world.
Bill McKibben, The Guardian (Climate change may not be responsible for the tsunami, but it is shrinking our margin of safety. It is time to shrink back ourselves.)

Ferns

Conroy & Wilcox’s Fern Collection is a Sterling Silver collection that is a collaborative jewelry project with visual artist Jolynn Krystosek.  The fern frond pieces were carved out of wax and then cast and made into collars, earrings, barettes and tiaras. They are limited edition and you can see more here. (all images from Conroy & Wilcox; via OhJoy)
