ever have one of those days when you need three cups of coffee? even if you’re limiting your caffeine intake, you could still get it done with one cup instead in this fun porcelain coffee cup from rhode island’s fred and friends.

i love these quiet and powerful photographs from rhode island artist diana stith brennan. diana’s keen awareness and love of nature, the environment and all of its details converge into striking, understated imagery.

she has isolated her subjects but the energy coming off them doesn’t feel lonely to me. just calm.

find diana’s pieces in her etsy shop, read up about her latest doings on her blog and see her larger portfolio on her website!
