The newest entry to the yuppie list:
Bene Magazine (where I work) has a new blog. Would any of you friendly bloggers like to add a link to it? It is a nice little blog and tells you fun Italy-related things. It is trying hard to make new friends. Your support would be very much appreciated!
Here on Cup of Jo, I'm a big fan of art but don't know how to hang it. So I was really excited to see Victoria's post about her pretty collection of prints. I liked this, this and especially this. Thanks, Victoria!Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/

Hmmm, what other things does Nick love?
Nick loves sailing with SW.
Nick loves Lucy.
Nick loves coffee (or does he?).
Nick loves the ladies.
And Nick loves Nick! Thanks for being this week's theme, little bro; it's fun pretending to be you. You are the best!Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/
But if he changes his mind, he can just flip the doormat.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/
Amazingly, I had just written this post when Nick commented that trees look like lungs--now this poster seems extra suitable! The print says, "Forests are the lungs of the earth," and all proceeds go to the Rainforest Action Network.
My brother Nick and I now live in New York City, but we grew up in the Michigan suburbs. I thought he might enjoy Amy Bennett's awesome oil paintings of neighborhoods where something doesn't feel quite right.....(These are entitled "Exposure" and "Losing It.")

Although Nick rides motorcycles and belongs to a watch club, he is also a true romantic. I can imagine Nick giving this necklace to his future wife. Linked to a battery by a silver thread, this glowing necklace would surely delight the kind of quirky lovable girl that Nick will betroth.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/

When we were little, we were spending the summer in Cornwall, so my dad sent Nick a telegram for his birthday. It was so exciting and old-fashioned! Now telegrams have been officially discontinued, but perhaps Nick would like this stationery, inspired by a 1920s British telegram.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/
Nick loves the environment. In fact, last summer, he rode from Connecticut to North Carolina to see how many miles he could ride on the same amount of caloric energy as one gallon of gas. (Answer? A lot!)
He would look especially dashing in the first two ensembles in APC's new fall/winter collection, don't you think, ladies?Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/
This week of posts is dedicated to my little brother, Nick, who turns 25 today! He has a quirky sense of humor and a great appreciation of the way things work. He especially enjoys watches, biking, environmental friendliness, traveling, European style and cool ladies.

I just wrote about this poster for Cookie. It's meant for babes, but I secretly think it would look nice on a grown-up mantle...Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/

My lovely sister Lucy and her new husband Paul recently moved to San Carlos, a little Californian town with no worries or cares. Seriously. Here's an excerpt from yesterday's town newsletter...
Lately my Eames love affair has reached a whole new level because of the absolutely lovely pics out there of their timeless designs. For example, here are some gorgeous photos from Ta in Tokyo. That light! Those stockings! The cat! Thanks for this awesomeness, Ta.

I love love love the home of blogger Courtney Russell. She pretty much handmade both her children's gorgeous nurseries. I just did a Cookie interview with her and found her lovely and insightful -- if you'd like, read more here!Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/
The New York Times revealed an important truth today. (We Brits have known it for years.) Boo yeah.Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/
Calvin Klein's 2007 cruise collection brings together bright, blocky color and clean, basic shapes. As they'd say on Project Runway, his collection has a definite "point of view." I'm too much of a claustrophobe to take a cruise (those tiny interior rooms! eeks!), but I'd love to wear these on dry land.

I love this monkey! Designed in Denmark in 1951, he became a mascot on nature programs and a prize on quiz shows. My friend Lee, from Denmark, told me, "Yes, I know that monkey and like him very much. The designer Kay Bojesen was very popular when my grandparents were young; my favorite toy of his is the puffin. Most Danes people will remember meeting Bojesen's wooden friends."Source URL: http://ledger-heath.blogspot.com/2007/07/
Our dad came to visit two weekends ago. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, sailed at night and ate ice-cream sandwiches the size of our heads. The photo above was taken in Dumbo--the wall looked like the kind of place a band would take press photos, so we took some "band" shots. The photo below shows Alex being sweet after sailing. If you'd like, see more weekend pics here. Thanks for visiting, Dad!
