{at the office | spring things : a day out of the office}
Wednesday 16th May, 2012

. . . p and i were watching a program one evening awhile ago, about the theory of technological singularity, i.e. “human biological enhancement or brain-computer interfaces”, or simply put, the [rather sci-fi] notion that one day, our brains will be melded with computers, and p likes to tease that it has already happened to me, as am always & forever attached to one device or another; and so, in an renewed effort to achieve a work/life balance, this week began a little differently . . .
. . . instead of spending the day at the office, most of the day was spent, instead, outdoors in the late-spring sun — a late lunch and a leisurely walk through old neighbourhoods and pretty parks, a stop by a favourite café to sit at the carerra marble tables for two on the terrace overlooking the cityscape, only stopping to check the iphone once or twice . . .
{p.s.} but of course, one must return to the office eventually, and it is always lovelier to work in a space that’s light & bright and filled with flowers, beautiful artwork, and most certainly, bits of gold, as in these photographs sent along by dallas of her new office . . .

so fun to see my friend’s antlers on your blog… Daniel Crawford, from Richmond, VA, is the artist that creates those beautiful resin antlers.
Where are the White chest of drawers with the silver studs from? I am in love.
michaela at the gardener’s eden — hello! how lovely to hear from you again, and how have missed your visits — strolling and picnicing sound delightful — hopefully a chance this weekend? and yes! here’s to balance xo
anonymous — certainly — apologies for the delay — has been hectic around here — the painting was done by dallas herself
Please could you tell who the artwork in the first picture is by? Thank you!!
Oh wow – the whole office. I’d take the flowers alone though!!
Beautiful
This is my dream workspace! x

Wow those images are just gorgeous! I love the idea of making your office bright and cheery… you don’t have to dread going to the office everyday!!
Ah yes. Sounds as if we are all struggling with work/life balance these days. How I long for an entire day spent riding bicycles, strolling through the orchards and enjoying a picnic on a sun-dappled blanket. Perhaps, after the spring rush passes, that time will come. Until then, it was nice to take a break and enjoy your blog after so many months of being far too busy to take more than a quick peek.
Here’s to balance! xo M
where and who and what is that pretty art peice?
Beautiful images!
SO pretty!!
