Have you seen the new Lytro camera? You can get full details on the science behind it (light field mumbo jumbo) on the website. But putting theory into practice, the user can take a picture and then play around with the focus later. Here are examples of two pictures focused two different ways AFTER the image…

Out of Hibernation! First Post: Paper Culture
Months ago, I decided that maintaining three blogs (The Big Piece of Cake, Style Key West AND Wishing True) was just too much for me (ya think?!) and I took a break from wishingtrue.com. But I’ve missed my pretty things blog – I really have. So when I worked with the fabulously talented Mommy Geek…
Trying to figure out…
…what to do with this site… I have too many websites in my Blogger profile! Wishing True…The Big Piece of Cake…Style Key West… I do have an idea though. Or at least the beginning of one… …I’ll let you know when it’s further along. Until then – visit me an my other sites!
Hydrangeas on My Mind…
We planted one of these in the garden… …and it makes me want something like this… …or this… …or… Flower images via ME! (and my new camera)…Fabulous hydrangea jewelry via Patrick Irla.
Room Portraits by Sarah Dougherty
I recently discovered Sarah Dougherty, and I can’t for the life of me remember where… Click to enlarge on all! The amount of detail and character in these room “portraits” is extraordinary. And I love the idea of capturing the personality of a room in a portrait. It must be amazing to see them in…

Workings: Christina Long (Now Baker)
My son, George always calls the projects he brings home from school, “workings.” It’s almost a word of reverence for him – not just a painting or a drawing or a project, but a “working.” Now firmly embedded in my own lexicon…when I see artwork I love, I always think of it as “workings.” Here…
A Little Birdie Told Me (I’m sure I’ve used that one before…)
I have always loved bird motifs. And while most of her work is related to her paintings, I’m just enchanted with Laurie Coyle’s fanciful custom bird sculptures. At $45, they are about 3.5 inches tall and 4.5 inches long “beak to tail.” The legs and body structure are made with wire, and the body is…
Needful Things: Jill Rosenwald Studio
How cute is this little lamp? What about this tall one? Or this one? This would be great for holding keys by the front door (do you think anyone would get the Greek Key thing?) Probably not. So I’d just tell them. Also loving… She also does monogrammed pieces! And custom work. I could go…
Mother to three children (four if you count my husband), keeper of a moderately sane house, admirer of beautiful interiors and fashion that becomes more and more "young" for me, textile junkie and believer in the power of wishing really, really hard. I wage a daily battle against feet on furniture, "outside voices" inside, the ever widening chasm between now and "when I used to work," wrinkles, a lack of personal time, dust and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one's heart. So far dust and wrinkles are winning, but only because even the best of multitaskers have their limits.
