MoMA Spotlighted

While I am eagerly awaiting the photos that Kerri, from Taylor Grey, took of my wedding stationery, I thought perhaps i would blog about some of my favorite items from MoMA.

All of these items are either;

1. great design

2. functional

3. so cool

4. great gifts for people who have everything

or

5. all of the above!
