When I am out and about, doing errands, driving from one place to the next, I will catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye. Often it is a surprising splash of color: in the back alley, on the trash heap, just around a corner. I’ve been known to stop in [...]

Perhaps the thing I most look forward to during the holidays is Cookiepalooza.  It’s a night in December where Susie and I get together with two of our other sisters, Caitlin and Nono, to bake cookies.  There’s always a lot of discussion leading up to the “event” about what cookies will make the roster that [...]

I am absolutely giddy over this print I purchased on Etsy from British artist, Lizzy Stewart.

It seems that lately, I am constantly seeking those moments of quiet, not only in everyday life but in my head and in my heart.  Every time I look at this print on my wall, I feel peaceful.

A couple of weeks ago, my husband and I had a last minute opportunity to go away for the weekend. There’s nothing like quickly throwing things in a duffle bag, loading up the dogs and hitting the road.

Recently, we had the amazing opportunity to be photographed by Francesca Balauger. This past month, Francesca has been an artist-in-residence at Hands on 3rd, a wonderful craft studio here in Los Angeles that offers workshops and creative space. Her project, titled “Creativity is Contagious: Portraits of Handmade Success” set out to capture inspiring individuals who [...]

Even with the arrival of daylight savings time, it’s been hard for me to make enough time to work on outdoor projects. I’m dying to get my hands in the dirt, but by the time I get home, make and eat dinner, it’s dark. Last night, I got home even later than normal. I made [...]

This weekend, Sunday to be exact, we’ll be baking up a storm for a community fundraiser. We are so saddened by the events in Japan and this event definitely has it’s heart in the right place. The event is being put together by Jonathan Sample at Fresh Pressed Screen Shop here in Los Angeles. The [...]
