Happy 2009! I hope you all had a great holiday and start to the new year. To start off 2009 at Oh Joy…here are a handful of my current favorite images. Balloons seem to be everywhere lately {they’re the new mustache!}, so here’s a little ode to things that are round, floaty, and cheerful!
{left to right, top to bottom: Joanna Goddard’s GORGEOUS engagement photos by Max Wanger, installation by pirajamaharaja, Dorthe Alstrup print, tissue paper puffs in Tim’s home in the Dec 08 issue of LivingEtc, yellow puff from Liana’s Big Sur wedding at Once Wed, heart balloon girl from Iefke de Roos look book via siagrafica, monsieur II print by blancucha, and balloons indoors by That Was My Foot.}
Beautiful images on an icy morning– thank you!
Happy New Year!! Joanna’s engagement photos are divine! As are the rest of the images here.

What a beautiful and nostalgic compilation! I never knew what treasures could be created from the humble balloon. Happy 2009!
Oh my goodness – just compiled a post of balloons as well, as had also noticed that they seemed to be everywhere lately! How fun. Beautiful post — so bright and cheerful. Happy New Year!
I know I’ve been so into balloons lately….been incorporating them into patterns…Tim Walker has some pretty ones in his photos. You’re the best Joy. Happy New Year!
Beautiful photos-thanks for sharing!
balloons are the new mustache… I love that. Happy New Year!
Have a magical new year filled with inspiration and joy!
I don’t usually like balloons because they remind me of poorly executed proms and weddings of the eighties. These photos prove that if things are used with taste they will look amazing.
Balloons for the New Year… what a perfect idea! =) *love*
Those are beautiful! Happy New year!
The engagement photo remind me a bit of Elliott Smith’s “Son of Sam” video. So pretty.

Dear oh Joy, I love your blog and as a reaction on your balloon photo compilation I would like to give you the URL of a Dutch artist. Her name is Connie Dekker and on her website you’ll find beautiful installations and embroideries. The particular link brings you to images of her “balloon” performance which was carried out on the top of a beautiful rock covered with olive trees near the village Carmignano, Tuscany. Also the embroideries of Connie, she spend 10 years on embroidering swans, are gorgeous. Thank you so much for your attention, Ron
