Emily from Orange Beautiful tagged me this morning. The rules? Name 8 facts or habits about myself. I’ve got my eight:
I am deathly afraid of flying. The week before we leave, I freak. Crazy sub-fact: when we fly from Boston to Nantucket on a tiny little 7 seater, I am not afraid. Go figure.
I write [...]
Seems that the planets are aligning. Lots of my favorite artists are updating their shops today or tomorrow. Since it’s going to be in the 90s for the foreseeable future here in Chicago, I’ll have plenty of time to check them out. (90s + me = inside)
Here’s your shopping list:

Happy Monday. I spent the weekend doing “stuff”. Like making blueberry muffins on Saturday. We had so many blueberries that I had to do something with them, and this seemed like the tastiest solution. (Also, it justified buying the Williams-Sonoma Kid’s Cookbook a few years back.) Not bad, huh? Saturday night, we said our farewells [...]
Today is the second straight morning that we’ve woken up to rain, which I love. It’s such a nice way to ease into the day. (plus, no need to get out the hose later in the day to revive the hydrangeas!) If it lets up, we’ll head to the farmer’s market – we need more [...]

I could write about Ms. Lohan’s troubles today. (Seriously, is anyone surprised?) I could write about how the Chicago Tribune, over a week after my own little – accent on the little – blog noticed the Jezebel/Faith Hill Redbook cover story, decided it was newsworthy as well. Way to go, Tribune! No, instead I’m going [...]
I love when I discover something really cool purely by accident/luck. And such was the case yesterday when I learned of Yes Press. I was doing my usual flickr search for “letterpress” when I stumbled upon their new idea. Yes Press is comprised of three designers – I’m already a fan of Oh Bara and [...]
We are having one of those summers you just don’t want to end. Another beautiful weather weekend – open windows, breezes, cool at night, near bliss. Saturday was spent in the city, walking up Michigan Avenue (with a sweater!), peeking in a few stores here and there. (My mistake? Going into Barney’s and finding the [...]
