Yesterday, Amelia and I watched the Charles and Ray Eames Documentary!!
She needs to get an early start with her art appreciation.

I learned so many cool new things about this amazing couple. There is so much more to them then their AMAZING furniture. (BTW- I can't believe the original Eames chairs only sold for $25!!!!!)
I learned about their filmmaking, and about their advertising work.
They also played a huge roll in trying to keep peace between the US and Russia which I think is so so so cool too. You know I love a peacemaker.
In honor of the Eames', I am going to post a little tribute to all things Eames :)
I am obsessed with their chairs...pretty much all of them.
The hang it all.
Their MCM patterns
I loved seeing all of the letters that they wrote to each other and their loved ones. It reminds me of the letters that I write with all of the little doodles :)
And I absolutely love the solar powered "Do Nothing Machine" :)
This is a must see when I go to LA.
I will leave you all with this quote from Charles Eames today :)
Eventually everything connects - people, ideas, objects. The quality of the connections is the key to quality per se.
