HOW CUTE!!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">i know that i, for one, will DEFINITELY want to know the gender of my baby, though i am struck by the simplicity of the response i got when i recently asked an expectant father why he and his momma-to-be chose to wait. "there are so few good surprises in life" was what he said. i love that thought, and i love the idea of celebrating that good surprise with colorful cake and then having months and months to plan knowing exactly what gender my baby will be :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">w</span>hat's your feeling on the midcentury modern pieces that have become all but ubiquitous over the last few years? the two that come to mind immediately are the<a href="http://www.dwr.com/category/designers/r-t/eero+saarinen.do" target="_blank"> saarinen table</a> (<i>replete with <a href="http://hivemodern.com/pages/products.php?sid=486" target="_blank">tulip chairs</a> as seen here</i>) and the <a href="http://hermanmiller.com/Products/Eames-Molded-Plastic-Chairs" target="_blank">eames molded chair</a>. although there's a part of me that desires them less because it seems everyone has them now, there's a larger, more pronounced part of me that feels like if i still love a piece regardless of how mainstream it's become, then who really cares? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">are there items you've loved, only to love them less when you see them everywhere? does ubiquity water down something we love? does it have to? i think not. look at all the gorgeous ways these two iconic pieces can be used and enjoyed...the one thing i probably wouldn't do is use them together, but mixed with other special and not-so-special pieces? eclectic perfection.</span><br />
