whew! it’s been a long week and i’m feeling a major sense of TGIF today. before i head off i wanted to wrap up this week with these paper chandeliers from designer lena corwin. inspired by the traditional polish paper chandeliers that are popping up around the web these days, lena’s versions will be for sale ($35-$65) at the brooklyn flea design co-op next weekend, and every saturday after that from 10-6 (this week’s fair was canceled due to rain). the design co-op will feature work from lotta jansdotter, wayne pate, wren handmade, and more. if you’re in town, be sure to check out lena’s new work and everyone else’s at the flea. until monday, i hope you all have a great weekend! below is a summary of this week’s highlights:
