  Happy 2009! I am back and blogging after a long New Year’s weekend full of snowboarding (I am pleased to report I am still in one piece), cooking, and prancing around in long underwear. Let’s kick off the year with a look at Chicago-bas...

  Keep order at your table with these cute and simple letterpressed placecards from Small Square Design (thanks, Basak!). Happy Thanksgiving all! I’m off to eat my weight in turkey* and pie. * Don’t forget to brine your bird - I hear it&#...

  It was absolutely freezing in Boston this weekend… the kind of weather that makes me wonder why I live here - below-freezing temps, blustery winds, early sundown - the works. Cruel, cruel, times! I foolishly attempted to take a stroll to meet...

  When did it get so cold out? I was just hitting my stride tan- and A/C usage-wise when suddenly, it was fall. Alas. Though I prefer summer, at least the change in season means I can have pumpkin pie (best pie ever) and take my fierce boots out of ...

• I am what I… am served in targeted interwebs ad placements?

  Posted on Wednesday October 8th, 2008 at 21:50 in design, wearables, buyables, excuse me... your nerdiness is showing, doing whatever it is i do

  Working at a digital advertising agency makes me hyperaware of the targeted content I am served on the interwebs. Usually, and to my chagrin, the Face likes to serve me ads like “25 and sick of your love handles?” with truly unappealing ...

• First blog birthday!

  Posted on Friday September 5th, 2008 at 00:01 in get in my belly (on food, doing whatever it is i do

  For its birthday, I’m giving it… voilà! A second sidebar and thus, a little more room to grow. Strictly speaking I started blogging in January of last year, but it wasn’t until early September that I wrote what I consider to be i...

  On Friday evening I was rushing around after work, getting ready to go out for Christine’s birthday dinner. I rummaged in my closet for whatever wrapping paper I had lying about, packaged up her gift, and threw in the Egg Press card (available...

  I keep eyeing this hefty tome at my local bookshop, and over time I’ve gone from simply admiring it to fully-blown coveting it. 1080 Recipes, by mother-daughter team Simone and Inés Ortega, has been Spain’s best-selling cookbook for the...

  Earlier this week I found these a-ma-zing linen napkins at Anthropologie in the Back Bay from interior designer Sheila Bridges, and picked up ones for Italy, Spain, South Africa, and India. (Here they are, spread out on my spacious new desk(!).) I ...

  An aside on my other favorite topic: food. Merril and I created this massive and life-changing sandwich recently, and we call him… The Best Friend. Think thick slices of whole wheat bread, caramelized raisins, bubbling hot cheddar cheese, hon...

  …while this thoroughly northeastern girl makes her way to Austin for a few days for barbecue and 80 degree weather (I know - try to contain your envy). But not to worry - I will be back and blogging next week! Vintage Texas map magnets from d...

  Thanks to {frolic!} I’ve discovered another contender for my favorite bloom: the Yves Piaget. I seem to have an affinity for flowers that look like cabbages. What can I say? Cabbages are kind of cute. Share This...
