Doing whatever it is I do

Monday, January 5th, 2009Happy 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-based Letterform‘s line of punny letterpress cards that belie their love of [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Keep 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’s all the rage these days and I just read a good explanation of [...]
The bright side(s).
Monday, November 24th, 2008It 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 some friends on Saturday afternoon, and let’s just say they finally found me [...]
Creepies.
Friday, October 10th, 2008When 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 storage. It also means that Halloween [...]
I am what I… am served in targeted interwebs ad placements?
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Working 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 visuals in its seemingly innocuous right sidebar placement. But yesterday, after assessing everything [...]
First blog birthday!
Friday, September 5th, 2008For 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 its first post as an art and design blog (making it a Virgo, [...]
I am an unstoppable genius.
Monday, August 18th, 2008On 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 here, by the way) that I had picked up a few days [...]
…And I’m back!
Friday, July 25th, 2008Back to regularly scheduled blogging next week, but for now, a few of my favorite shots from my trip… Clockwise from top left: the prettily weathered view out my window on rue Casimir Delavigne; the menu at the tiny and wonderful Le Sèvero (meat meat meat meat) in Montparnasse; peeking out from the underbelly of [...]
À bientôt!
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008I’m flying out to Europe tonight to hit up Paris and London, so I will be on a little hiatus until I return next Wednesday – hopefully with a memory card full of fantastic pictures and a stomach full of fromage. Until then! Photo by fabiovenni.
Drool drool drool.
Monday, June 2nd, 2008I 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 past 30 years. This bible of Spanish cookery is impressively comprehensive – sauces, stews, appetizers, tapas, [...]
Eat and learn.
Friday, May 16th, 2008Earlier 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 love that they are a bit rustic, what with the rough material and [...]
Just for funsies.
Monday, May 12th, 2008Some pretty springtime shots from this weekend – going down Clarendon Street before the Artwalk (scenes like this are what make the winter almost worth it)… …and in Brookline later, a fat sun-dappled bunch of hydrangea and heather that I put together – for mom, of course.
