Hello, Wednesday! I’m a bit scattered today, so it’s a good time to feature more random goodness I’ve stumbled across while online:
Design*Sponge posted an Indianapolis design guide on Tuesday. Even though Chicago is only 3 hours away, I’ve never been. Now, after reading about French Pharmacie, Houseworks, and Patachou, I have to go check it [...]
As May draws near, and with it, the euphoria that is news from the National Stationery Show, I’ve found another letterpress studio to admire. Sideshow Press is based in Charleston, SC, and run by three creative women: Virginia Gregg, Courtney Rowson, and Amy Pastre. I first learned of Sideshow via the May 2007 issue of [...]
Soccer tournaments can suck up all available weekend time. Thankfully, this weekend’s tourney was located in Hinsdale, IL, which has an ultra-charming downtown and tons of houses to admire. There were a lot of houses for sale, but the ones I liked were $2.0 million and up, so it’s not there was any seriousness to [...]
Good news on the magazine front: not only did I pick up the titles above to read over the weekend, but my bridal fixation from yesterday will be rewarded! Thanks to R, my local B&N will start carrying Wedding Style Guide soon. (And by soon, I mean between now and August, as the winter issue [...]
Wednesday was here and gone in a flash. I had a long list of tasks, starting with cleaning the windows in one room, as I slowly make my way through the entire house. Two rooms down, and most to go. (Tasks as thankless as that have to be broken up or I’d never tackle them.) [...]
I can tell putting this post together is going to be frustrating. I’ve already tried twice to upload a photo and been denied. Good thing I started extra early. Anyway, the end of April is rapidly approaching, and I’m starting to think about Mother’s Day. (Actually, it’s the retailers who are starting to think about [...]
Earth Day couldn’t have arrived at a nicer time in Chicago. The trees are just beginning to leaf out; warmer weather is not only here, but seems to be thinking about staying. The magnolias and daffodils are in bloom, and the peonies are growing!
Looking for a way to mark the day? May I suggest:
Reading something [...]
Wow. What a fabulous weather weekend (and no, I did not make it over to the Antiques & Garden Fair). My favorite U10 soccer team started the spring season with two wins, and my teeth were not chattering on the sidelines. Sunday’s game was actually warm and summer-like! But I promised you a story about [...]
