Happy Weekend!

I've survived my first week at Parsons and would say I'm only slightly overwhelmed, did I mention I'm taking 9 classes. I'm sure I'll be fine, I've attended design school twice, so third times a charm, right? :) So while the temps drop this weekend in NY, I'll be tucked away at my desk improving my sketching skills, building mood boards, and simply trying to keep warm.

I will, however, escape to a fun photo shoot with the girls of Poppies and Posies and chat it up with a few potential clients. All in all, I'm going to stay pleasantly busy. What about you? Many plans for the last weekend in January? 

Below are awesome thrift store plates found by Nestled In. See more of of their thrifted finds here.

I've always thought thrifted plates would be a good idea. Seeing these, I think I might recommence that quest...

I went to Parsons for one month...it was tough, but also... I was not in the right place for it. I have friends who loved it. I hope you will love it too. Are you in the foundation program? Good luck and enjoy!

I think that dishware is one of my favorite thing to thrift for. There are always fun little finds.

Thanks so much for featuring my plates :) I just started a new school last fall, studying visual media stuff, graphic design etc. New starts can be overwhelming but it's also so important to do/study what you love and what I take from your blog is that you are doing just that :) wishing you good luck with all your classes!

It's actually Nestled In, not Nested In. No biggie, but I'm sure Katja and Minna would appreciate it. ;)

This looks like my thrifted plate collection! I love the eccentricity it adds to a dining table. Also, good luck with your courses at Parsons! I just transfer to University of Washington to study Visual Communication Design and I completely relate to you. Good luck
