More TOAST inspiration

Toast (UK site/ online sotre) is one of my favorite places to go for inispiration (also see Monday's post).  They sell amazing items online, but for me the way they catalogue their items, is quite simply - fascinating.

Here for example, is a swlection of iamges from one of their catalogues .....    above ... crockery and linen tablecloths ...

cutlery with bone handles - or a very good imitation..

a snack .....

old style towels ....

and even something as simple as white wire hangers ....

I just simply love the way they put things together! I love photography (see my photoblog Thinking Aloud), so a regular pop into their site is a must ... to see what they're up to, what new goodies they have, and how they are styling them for their catalogue ...

{Echo} 6: Faces

In the sixth "chapter" of the Echo (Word) Challenge which Susan Tuttle of Ilka's Attic (blog) and her friend Christi are running, the word prompt is FACES. 

So this is how it works, they put out a WORD prompt, and the key is to interpret the word through the camera lens. 

I chose to use this image of a wooden sculpture, clearly depicting it's rather abstract  face, and also the giant sunflower (below), possibly because sunflowers remind me of people standing in the field, facing and following the direction of the sun all day.  To me, they are happy flowers and never fail to lift the spirits ....

{Echo} 5: Melody

This is the fifth "chapter" of the Echo (Word) Challenge which Susan Tuttle of Ilka's Attic (blog) and her friend Christi are running.    They put out a WORD prompt, and the key is to interpret the word through the camera lens.     The current word is MELODY.

The mind runs amock with ideas on how to depict this one ... many ideas, maybe not enough photographs to demonstrate, so we need to get creative .... One of the first things that goes through my mind is the ocean,  then voices, musical instruments...

I eventually played a round with a mosaic of Rubinstein's compostion Melody and images of a violin - settling on this one.     To complement that I decide on a shot I'd taken of the musical fountains display at  Brighwater Commons (an outdoor venue in Johannesburg South Africa).
