"It may seem unusual for a motor car manufacturer to sponsor the production of a book to be used be people when they are walking. Perhaps it is."
The Fiat Book of New Zealand Trees, the walking book of contradiction? Not at all. I've been told by many kiwis that the only way to get out and see New Zealand is by car. As a matter of fact, I've never been happier to see my car than after a 3-day hike on the Routeburn Track.
Between the pages, I found evidence that this little field book was put to use when little pressed leaves fell out. I even added my own when I came across a Totara tree on a recent walk.

It’s time for our weekly #preppygrandhome interior feature, and this week we are highlighting Lance of @parkerkennedyliving 👏 Gracious Panache. That’s what comes to mind when describing Lance’s incredibly styled Commerce, GA home! It’s a historic Mediterranean style house which he and partner David have been lovingly restoring for about 6 years now. And a medley of beautiful furnishings and details give this 6k square feet abode the look and feel of a Southern “Regency” style interior: refined and honors the past, while keeping pace and the needs of a modern family. Who Do They Share The House With? Baby dog Sam, and Lance’s son Thomas (who is currently at college) What/Where Do You Find Inspo? 'Everywhere! I love old interior books, especially from the '70s & '80s' What Do You Collect and Why? ‘Where do I start? I collect beautiful things that make me happy: design/history/architectural/art books, antique rose medallion, vintage Christmas ornaments/Italian ceramics/Fitz & Floyd dinnerware, and Chinoiserie!’ Fave Room? “I love our garden room off of the library” Best Bargain? ‘I have so many, but what got me started on “the thrill of the hunt” was my $10 circa 1860s antique bronze sculpture’ Fave Designer Past or Present? Past: Mario Buatta for his mastery of the collected look, mixing and matching antiques/vintage with modern furnishing Present: Mary McDonald for her tailored interiors Design Tip To Impart with decor lovers? ‘Don’t use matching set of dishes when setting a dining table’ Inspirational, is he not? If you haven’t already, go check out and follow his page!

Look at this guy! My first box camera. Marvel s-20 made by ansco for sears in the 30s and 40s. There's really not a whole lot of information out there about it that I can find. It does take 120 film so I do plan on putting a roll through it someday. The styling is so great!
