…by reading his about page. A great example of how following one’s heart leads to success.

Returned home Sunday evening, unloaded and recapped the very nice time we had - read a lot, relaxed, ate some good food. Yesterday I was faced with the end-of-vacation blues big time. I mean, Mondays already suck anyway - but having been watching the waves less than 24 hours earlier, and then finding myself at my desk, that’s not cool.

So today still in beach-mode, I came across the Menagerie Fish and the Relief Urchin Candlestick Holder Set by eclectic artist, Jonathan Adler. Both perfect accessories for a beach house, or any down by the sea themed room. I especially love the Fish. They’re great looking sculptures made with exaggerated curved lines in a beautiful white glaze. Cool fresh contrast pieces.

The Menagerie Large and Small White Fish and the Candlestick Holder Set are both currently on sale at Velocity Art and Design, a great store out of Seattle, as are select other pieces by Adler. Straying from the beach theme are these Reform Temple Vases, also on sale, which are glazed partially with a gloss and the other half in a matte finish creating some great texture contrasts.

Check out Jonathan Adler’s Manifesto to get a better idea of where this guy’s coming from. It’s thoughtful, silly, motivated by an honest dedication to design and right up my alley.
