A new website I recently discovered called 1stdibs I just had to share. It is the cyber marketplace of some of the most beautiful antiques, mid-century modern furniture, estate jewelry, vintage watches, haute couture, and vintage fine art.

Architecture & Design Film Festival

From October 14th to the 17th, Tribeca Cinemas will be the home of the first Architecture and Design Film Festival. More than 3 dozen films coming from all over the world, clocking in at different lengths (two to eighty minutes) and all informed and enriched by what Bergman describes "the element of human interest," the festival should be a hit with professionals and those of us merely infatuated by the design scene and the silver screen.
