After a particularly clumsy month where I broke two of our bathroom tumblers, I’m pleased to have found a simple + substantial replacement. CB2‘s double old-fashioned glass from the city barware line looks great on the sink, and the price is right: just 95 cents! The next “oops” won’t be costly.
I’m looking to rent an apartment in Boston for 2-4 weeks this summer. Please let me know if you hear of/know of something in Beacon Hill/Back Bay/South End. 1 BR is just fine, but would like washer/dryer in the unit as I’m too old to schlep to the laundromat.

Crisp printing, great color + clean design. An all-around fantabulous wedding invitation from Swayspace.
As someone who is constantly collecting (and then trying to curate that collection so as not to be swallowed up by it), I am intrigued by anyone who seems to have the business of “things” figured out. Hannah Waldron is one of those people. Her book, This Tiny World, is a collection of paintings of the things that make a home feel welcoming. (One version of the book, sponsored by the Victoria & Albert museum, contains lifesize 2 dimensional images of the objects.) What draws me in to Hannah’s work is that it’s intimate and thoughtful. I can totally relate to having a book filled with the things that hold meaning like pencils, letters and ephemera; a book I could take anywhere, and by flipping through it, instantly feel at home.
Incidentally, I find that for me, the internet has evolved to become my book, so to speak: from tumblr’s photos to blogging to google reader, they all offer ways to hold on to things, giving comfort without accumulating the physical piles of paper + the resulting stress.
Please visit Hannah’s website to read about and see more of her work. It’s beautiful + I thank her for showing me another way.
