Anthropologie Chair By Ashley Longshore

New Orleans artist Ashley Longshore conjures an underwater dreamscape on the soft cotton upholstery of Anthro's new sturdy armchair. The mid-century Scandinavian frame provides sleek, stoic contrast to its abstracted print of a girl swimming. That's my girl! Congratulations!

My Dear Readers, I really, really, really need your help! (picture me on my knees begging) In a few days I will be switching/moving to my new blog address. (ooooh...so exciting!) When that happens, I am hoping you will help spread the word with your readers, so they can tell their readers and so on and so on and so on. I also have my fingers crossed that you will update our 'stinky dinky linky' love! On your blogroll....should I be fortunate enough to currently (or perhaps in the future) be on your list, would you mind taking a few moments out of your busy life to change it? Ahhh...there. I got that off my chest. I've been worried about you 'not finding me'. (I've had nightmares about you calling my name in the blogosphere..'Lib..er...teeeee...come out, come out wherever you are....) So.....the new address will be posted here shortly....within days. Love to you all in friendship and blogging, Liberty Post(Patti Friday) xo

Spring Shoot Thornbury & Meaford

Yesterday. I indulged. I took myself on a sunny walk. All by myself. It was glorious and creative and inspiring and therapeutic. Well, I wasn't entirely alone. I had my camera. And, along the way I met some new friends who you will meet next week. I am so very happy it's Spring. LPxo

Talkin' 'Friday' On 'Monday'

Many people have asked me, 'Is Friday your real last name?'. Yes! It really is. (with a short story) Friday was my maiden name, but it was actually 'Frieday' with an 'e'. Some of my family members had it without the 'e' too. (spelling mistakes at the hospitals - ha!) It turns out that my German Grandparents changed their name from Freitag to Frieday. I have always used 'Friday' for all my creative work - the bank even knows me as Patti Friday. So, why the heck am I talking 'Friday' on 'Monday'? Because as some of you know, I have wanted to convert to Judaism for decades and every time Jewish holidays happen...I start to dig again. My parents believe our ancestors were actually Jewish; if my maternal Grandmothers were Jewish, then I would be Jewish now. But if is comes from my paternal side, then maybe not. Hmmm. Confusing. Interesting. Unsolved. I will settle for being 'Jewish By Choice'.

German and Jewish (Ashkenazic): nickname from (respectively) Middle High German vritac and German Freitag ‘Friday’ (Old High German friatag, frijetag, a translation of Late Latin Veneris dies: Freya was the Germanic goddess of love, sometimes considered as equivalent to the Roman Venus). The German name may have denoted someone born on a Friday or who performed some feudal service then. However, Friday was considered unlucky throughout Christendom in the Middle Ages (because it was the day on which Christ was crucified), and it seems more likely that the name was given to a person considered ill-omened. It is found as a byname in this sense in Old High German. This is by far the commonest of the surnames drawn from the days of the week, followed by Sonntag ‘Sunday’, traditionally a day of good omen. Among Jews, it seems to have been one of the names that were distributed at random by government officials.

Handmade Heirloom: Anvil Wrought Iron Furniture

I met a new friend, Vitania, today via Facebook. The blogging, social media world continues to surprise and delight me. One moment uninspired with nothing left to say; the next - passionate, exhilarated and over-flowing with new words for new ideas and people. Vitania has an incredible story about her family business, Anvil Wrought Iron Furniture - a Canadian company that works with Designers and Retailers around the globe. When the company her father was working for started to fall apart, he led a group of men, all co-workers, to pool their resources and keep their business alive. (isn't that amazing!) With her father at the helm, they formed a company called Anvil Fireside Accessories Ltd. that supplied hearth products to pretty much everyone. Tool sets, wood holders, spark guards, andirons….you name it they made it! That was 30 years ago. Today, Anvil is completely family owned and operated, and Vitania, of course, has the pleasure of working and learning, with and from, her father. Over the last 3o years, the line has expanded dramatically to include beautifully crafted Iron Furnishings, as well as a fabulous collection of Outdoor furniture. They operate under the name Anvil Wrought Iron Furniture to include this expanded product offering. To die for people! To die for! All hand made! Located in Mississauga, Ontario, (just outside of Toronto) a small but talented team of people come together to make some of the most beautiful iron furniture today. Made using traditional methods, steel is cut, forged, hammered, shaped, polished and painted. As a custom manufacturer Anvil offers their clients the choice to design exactly what they want. Their products are designed to last a lifetime. The kitchen table and chairs you will sit at, eat, laugh and cry over. A bed your children will crawl into in the middle of the night, and you will long for when you are away from home. Pieces that are meant to be passed from one generation to another. Please take some time over the weekend to tour their website (and catalogue). You will be longing to purchase several of their pieces....either for yourself or a client(s)....or both!
