catching my breath

hi there.
so sorry i am m.i.a. this week. i will try to catch up...maybe this weekend. i have a lot going on lately and am just trying to get my bearings. i have been trying to keep up over here {with a little help}.

thanks so much for the response to my post card vs. flat card question. i will definately take your responses into consideration.

i have been loving all the scandinavian inspiration everywhere this week. over here, here, and here. and shari is back with fantastic stories of food and travels!

gotta run again, bye for now.
xo

a question

just a question today:
i am in the process of creating some new cards and i need your help.
which is preferred: postcards or flat cards with envelopes?

i would appreciate any feedback. thanks in advance!

stripes

i love these preppy, sophisticated looks from the margaret howell spring '08 collection. see them all here. i especially love the top one. i love stipes and i love this color combo.

i have been working hard on a website for my simply photo goods as well as a shop update {not sure when, but soon}. i am starting a mailing list to let people know when i have new stuff posted or any other news that may come up. email me here if you would like to be added to the list.

check out some amazing architecture. and this made me smile.

oh, and thank you all so much for all your nice comments about my wedding book. i am so glad you liked it.

happy monday and happy evening.

a good day

it is always a good day when i come home to find my gourmet magazine waiting for me. and it always comes before i see it on the newstand, which i love. i also love how the cover is completely free of type, it makes it such a work of art. i love the golden yellow this month.

here are a few inspiraton bits:

j. morgan puett. lots of stuff to explore here.

michelle arcila. more here.

seasonal eating.

have a good evening.

fall evening

good evening. i thought i would get a jump on posting this week, as i know i will be too busy tomorrow. so, while i'm waiting for my pasta water to boil, i'll share a little inspiration with you.

i am making the sept. 13th recipe from the kitchen diaries: an autumnal pasta supper, mushroom pappardelle. although i could not find pappardelle at my grocery, so i'm using whole wheat lasagna. i think it will still be delicious.


i have discovered some really lovely photographers on flickr lately:
ruzavizefyrai.
herraelina.


and an amazing illustrator:
favorite stories.

also check out the amazing work of dianne kornberg {via dear ada}.


well, i am off to finish making dinner and enjoying the autumn evening.


currently listening to: god save the clientele, by the clientele. at first i didn't like this current album, but now i think i love it. you have to be in the right mood. does anyone have any other musical recommendations? i am looking for something new to listen to.

fall inspiration

sorry i have been so absent this week. i didn't mean to be, life just took over. i have not had time to do much other than work and work. so, now i am happy to take the time to look at my flickr favs i have gathered over the last few weeks. some real amazing work. this first set reminds me of the end of summer. i love the tones and feeling in all of them.

1. watercolor, 2. Untitled, 3. happiness, 4. Untitled, 5. Untitled, 6. film : twirl

this one reminds me of the beginning of fall. all cozy and warm.

1. Masala chai at Sarasa Nishijin, 2. R001-019, 3. Untitled, 4. bonanza, 5. waiting for breakfast, 6. Afternoon tea

here is some more fall inspiration: some images from the fall dries van noten collection. i love these colors.

have a great weekend!

it's time to travel again. this time we are going to toronto canada with alison. click on the photo to see it larger and read what alison has to say about toronto. the top photo is one of her famous polaroid diptychs. she does amazing work. this is another of my favorites. see them all here.

thanks so much to everyone who has participated in my little survey. i am overwhelmed by the response! it is so fun to see what everyone is eating all over the world.

until tomorrow...

a vine grows in brooklyn

hello. i am back this week and ready to go with tons of inspiration to share.

this photo is of a vine that is growing along the cable outside my window {i'm on the fourth floor}. i'm not sure how long it has been there, i just looked outside one day and it was there.

+ i love the layout of this site and the colors they use: humanoid. i like the accessories collection the best.

+ have you seen a small collection. it is the new clothing collection from alyson fox. i also love her site. i can't wait until she has her fashion illustrations up in her shop.

that is all for now. stay tuned this week for another lets travel to... post. also take a peek at my flickr later today for a little announcement.
