Interesting stuff from around the web:

• advice to sink in slowly – I love artwork that focus on a particular word or phrase, it always reminds me of one of my favorite Frank O’Hara poems, “Why I am not a painter.” Some of these posters in the “advice to sink in slowly” series are really beautiful and/or funny.
• your lovely places – I’m really enjoying looking through this blog, where people submit photos of their favorite places in the world. They range from a beach in Malaysia to a work studio to ” my man’s neck, the place where I’d like to stay for the rest of my life.”
• Oh Joy!: stamped – Charles and Ray Eames stamps due late this summer!
• Sewing Article: Best Patterns of 2007 – great roundup of favorite patterns from 2007 from sewing pattern review!
