lovely and local : regeneration

23 December 2010

While selling my bling at Mass Market a few weeks ago I came across a shop called regeneration. I was introduced to them through husband. He caught site of some pretty great ties to add to his collection. After showing me his finds I knew I needed to see the table myself. I soon discovered […]

my muse

23 December 2010

The few moments that I have down time have been spent perusing my book collection. You may already know that I am smitten with Art Nouveau. Prints, jewelry, sketches and architecture of this time are my absolute favorite. Upon finding this image in a book of mine I came to realize that Art Nouveau came […]

one final autumn excursion

22 December 2010

Without realizing that this would be my final excursion in autumn I set out to North Burial Ground to let Callie run about. Because she is such a good girl I can get some hipstamatics in. The sun was playing well with my subjects. Though I didn’t know this by looking at my screen. I […]

for love of window boxes

16 December 2010

I have been forcing bulbs in anticipation of a long winter void of flowers. I am hoping to have some daffodils, tulips and amaryllis soon enough. Until then, I will look longingly at photos of Québec. I am so impressed with how those further north than I am celebrate the warmth of summer. Really, how […]

15 December 2010

This week doesn’t seem much like autumn. So, rather than welcome it, we will just take a look at my adventures in the city, taking place at the end of autumn.

studio sundays

14 December 2010

I almost forgot to post this series of photos. They were taken in my old basement studio, but the story is still the same. It’s all about showing some behind the scenes photos on the making of my “not your grandma’s clip-ons” …like these… These were a little more work than just gluing a pre-made […]

supermarket saturdays : OOOMS Dutch Design Studio

14 December 2010

Yes, that’s right, you saw that I just posted ceramic dildos as my supermarket favorite of the week. I have a soft spot in my heart for these…. When husband and I were in Amsterdam on our honeymoon we found a ceramic salt and pepper set modeled after a penis. He decided they would make […]

monday’s muse

13 December 2010

Now that the crazy craft season is over I plan on taking time to do other things aside from making jewelry. Though, I suppose this project is somewhat jewelry related. I am always collecting dried flowers and when I am not collecting them I am kicking myself for not carrying nippers with me. I don’t […]
