Las Pozas

Posted by Lauren on June 26th, 2013

Las Pozas is a surrealist garden created by Sir Edward James, a British poet and major supporter of the Surrealist art movement. In 1949 James chose the tropical jungles near Xilitla, San Luis Potosí in Mexico for his garden of Eden. 35 years later, 80 acres of natural waterfalls and pools were dotted with staircases to nowhere, concrete flowers with leaves big enough to walk on, and massive sculptures. He was so passionate about the project that he sold his collection of surrealist art to pay for the 5 million dollar project. Honestly!

{daily inspiration} Kinfolk

There are SO many things in the world that inspire me...but Kinfolk is probably in the top 10.  I have been reading this photo-essay magazine since its initiation.  And the magazines are a major focal point in my living room.  I love seeing everyone's expression when they flip through it for the first time. 

Much to my pleasant surprise, there was an announcement from the folks over at Kinfolk, in my inbox this morning.  Kinfolk Saturdays, "a film series that will offer lots of ideas for things to do on weekends, inspire you to try new things and make the most of those precious days off."  The intro video is beautifully done-- I swear those Kinfolk kids make everything so enchanting!
