We both just read Patti Smith's book Just Kids and we loved it. Listening to Patti's music and making necklaces will be a new A+L project. Above a picture of her and Robert wearing their self made jewelry.

Cool.

I've had my eye on these lamps at Lawson-Fenning for a while:

And now they are confirmed cool (by Rachel Feinstein and John Currin.)
