A Bird in the Hair
Chickens, hens, birds, eggs, coops, nests… wha?? I’ll be honest here, I have no clue the process of how eggs are hatched, laid or whatever? Is a hen a male? or female? And isn’t there a rooster somewhere in the process? Yea, I’m going to stick with fashion and lay off logistics this week. My fashion obsession this week is hats.. loving this vintage birdcage veiled hat, especially on my friend Blake here that can easily pull just about anything off.
You are My Sunshine
My fondness for the artwork featured this week on Salted & Styled is composed of a two-fold list of ingredients: one part eggs, the other part simple words.
Inspired by Eggs
Food is our trigger to all design. Its color may inform our fashion, its texture may inform our artwork. Its shape may inform our interiors and its flavor will always inform our table. This week our inspiration is an egg. A single albumen aerated to a fluffy meringue or five fresh eggs baked in the oven. White, speckled, brown or blue, we celebrate eggs from the hen house to our house and finally answer the question –who came first. Take a peek inside the chicken coop this week and see what we’re sitting on.

If you are feeling any childhood strings of sentimentality when it’s time to roast a rabbit, consider employing the French language.
Rabbit Cassoulet
The first time I had a cassoulet was in France on the eve of my 25th birthday. I’ve been trying to get right with Jesus ever since so I could get the recipe to be the same. This one is so very close, but I feel I’m still a sin or two away.
Animal Magnetism
POW! BLAM! ZAP!
Cartoon action words are the only accurate way to convey my overly-and-ever-so-dramatic reaction to one of JenMarie Zeleznak’s new works “I Have a Feeling, That You’re Feeling Less These Days.” It is this kind of feeling that is almost but not quite a doubled-over-at-the-waist-and-catching-my-breath-moment (I am admittedly given to drama, I think I mentioned that previously?).
A Turned Table: Mid-day in the Forrest
Food is our trigger to all design. Its color may inform our fashion, its texture may inform our artwork. Its shape may inform our interiors and its flavor will always inform our table. This week the wild and wily rabbits of a rainy forest inspire our lives.
