While roaming the aisles of the Gift Fair I discovered Montes Doggett, a line consisting of beautiful ceramic and wood serving pieces, designed by Monica Porter. I've been on the look out for a large wooden bowl for sometime now and THREE finally found their
Between travel, work, and a few side projects I've been away from the blog, but I thought I'd do a quick 'instagram' recap of the trip to get back into the swing of things. We Shopped
Like many iPhone users I'm head over heels for Instagram. I'm especially excited to utilize the plethora of programs out there that work with the Instagram app, and I wanted to share a few favorites. These are all useful outside of the iPhone, and accessible
I love these large format light projections from “The Topographic Projections and Implied Geometries Series” by Jim Sanborn. A projector is powered by a mobile generator, and moved from site to site while photographs are taken using a long exposure. The results are pretty stunning.
Today we head to Athens, Ga to ring in the New Year with friends, followed by some major couch time on New Years Day. Greens and black-eyed peas are on the menu, and I'm planning a good old fashion slumber party in the living room,
I pinned this last night while scouring the internet for Christmas dinner ideas, and decided to give it a test drive before serving it up to guests. I wanted something bright to go along with the beef tenderloin, mustard roasted potatoes, and green beans almondine
My insanely thoughtful boss attended Amy Flurry's book release party at TREEHOUSE, and picked me up a signed copy of her new book, Recipe for Press. She and I tackle the PR and Marketing at Blabla Kids (where I work if you were wondering), and are
A few more gift ideas as the holidays get closer and closer! We have all the items pictured in the top row, and are big fans of Teroforma's beautiful, simple pieces. Whiskey Stones keep your finer spirits cool without watering them down. If you've got something
My work Holiday Party is tonight, and it's got me dreaming of shiny sparkly things
I did a little thrifting this past weekend, and picked up a few more glass pieces that I probably don't need, but couldn't resist. An Italian pitcher, 2 that will be vases and a little covered dish. I'm going to put my new pitcher to
Being a garlic lover, but having never eaten pickled garlic, I gave the pickled garlic recipe from Canning for a New Generation a try. The recipe was very simple, and these things are seriously addictive. I was skeptical at first, but the pickling mellows the
Most of the time I like to keep it simple in the kitchen, but occasionally I come across a gadget that might be fun to have around. This avocado cuber for instance is certainly not necessary, but pretty nifty for perfectly sized chunks every time,
Canning for a New Generation was given to me as a gift a while back, and I'm finally getting around to cooking up one of the recipes. In the spirit of the holidays I canned some Spiced Cranberries. I've never worked with fresh cranberries it
It seemed to take forever, but we've finally made it to Friday. At the office we have an open floor plan, and while we enjoy each others company, we sometimes find ourselves wishing for cubicles. With holidays, birthdays, going away parties and life in general
Something for the person in you life who is always entertaining or a gift for the hostess of one of the many holiday parties on your calendar! These appetizer plates that hold your glass while you load up on cheese balls and pigs in a blanket
I'm loving these illustrations and photographs from etsy shops, Kari Herer Photography and Corella Designs. They are a steal at $20 and $30, and I may just have to get one! A perfect gift for the bunny lover on your shopping list. Happy Hump Day!
Geoff's Birthday was this past weekend, and we kept it simple with a house party, some chicken pot pie, and a little music after. While on my quest for presents I came across a few things, and with the holidays upon us, I figured a
Paper is my thing. I love it. It comes across as being fragile and delicate, but can really be quite durable and tough. During my printmaking days I learned that paper can be folded, pressed, torn, rubbed, submerged in water, dyed, sewn, burned, twisted and
We're back from San Francisco and finally recovered! We had amazing weather, and it's safe to say the trip was pretty perfect. The first night we ate messy delicious crab, rode a cable car and had drinks at Whiskey Thieves. 1. Painted Ladies 2. I loved
My birthday was earlier this month, and while visiting my parents last weekend I was gifted a stove top popcorn maker, a canning pot (I'm an old lady) and most importantly
Vera Wang's Fall 2012 collection of bridal gowns isn't what you would expect. No flowing white gowns here. A proper farewell to your former single self? The perfect dress for a gothic bride? I adore the first gown, and if Vera Wang says it's chic, who are we
We're having friends over for dinner and drinks tonight, and I'm not quite ready to dive into wintry fatty foods so I've decided on a light main course. Grilled shrimp with a spinach salad. Our guests are bringing humboldt fog and red velvet cupcakes to
On a recent thrifting trip I picked up a couple more champagne saucers to replace the two that were broken last New Years Eve. I appear to have a glassware fetish
I picked up this telephone bench a couple of weekends ago for a mere $30 bucks. There is something about these gossip benches that I love. Maybe it's because they harken to a time when households had one phone, and that phone had a rotary dial
Today I celebrate my birthday with tacos and margaritas. I'll probably reflect on the past year, and maybe ponder the next. I'll wonder what will change, where I will go, who and what I'll see
Thao and Andrew's wedding was this past weekend and Rebecca and I finally got to see our fringe photobooth in action! Everyone seemed to have a great time and I'm pleased with how the photos came out. As some of you may know, event spaces have
Up to my ears in fringe! I'm making a mound of white fringe streamers for my sister's upcoming backyard wedding and I whipped up a fringe inspired invite for my friend Thao. Next up is a gold fringe photobooth! With help from Hendrix of course
While in New York I squeezed in a trip to the Museum of Arts and Design to see Otherworldly: Optical Delusions and Small Realities. I'm amazed by miniature, tedious mediums because I myself can't bear it. I need instant gratifications and big strokes. These small-scale
