hello all. i have been lying a little low this week. yesterday was my birthday, so i just wanted to take some time to think about some things.

i did end up making the pizza earlier this week. thanks for all your suggestions. i used this recipe and it was so amazing. i used 1/2 whole wheat flour, which worked out really well. my friend actually worked on the sauce, and he added a ton more garlic, chopped basil, and lots of black pepper. it was so delicious.

i also made a salad adapted from one of my favorite restaurants. it was really simple too: arugula, baked apples and gorgonzola with a little balsamic basil vinaigrette. you can also add walnuts if you want. SO good.

add a few brooklyn lager east india pale ales and you have a perfect evening. simply lovely.

have you been to heather's new shop yet? there are some beautiful pieces for sale.

i had a little extra time, so i added a few new things to my shop, including these new postcards, which i am really excited about. there are also some more notebooks and a couple of new prints.

i hope you like my favorite photos this week. they represent reflection, new beginnings, and celebrations of life. i love them all! have a wonderful weekend...be sure to eat some eggs {at least some chocolate ones}.

Hello there.

If you happen to be in New York, you should stop by the gallery at Anthropologie at Rockefeller Center. Beautiful embroidery work is on display from Susie Cowie.

Also, take a look at this beautiful photography from Sara Remington. I especially like book II.

just a few things to share today as i take it easy this evening and try to relax..a little.

i love the work of diem chau {via crustation}.

also teresa green {found via design*sponge}, especially her sweet cards and tea towels.

and the wonderful photo work by julia galdo.

have a nice evening.

busy busy

Do you ever feel like there is so much to do that you don't know where to start? you are constantly in motion, but not really getting anything done. running on empty. this is how i have felt lately. i am ready for a little slow down. maybe soon.

for now, i will happily remain busy for another few weeks. i have added this print to the shop. it is one of the photos i created for lines & shapes.

i recently photographed another wedding. it was a lot of work, but also really fun. take a look at some of the photos here.

take a look at some fun travel photos.

hello there.

i am loving this new time change. it is so nice to still get light in my room at almost 7pm.

take a look at the lovely fashion images of amanda de cadenet.

also wonderful design work and photos by anna melcon.

i did not get a chance to post until pretty late last night, so be sure to see who stopped by yesterday. it is so fun seeing how everyone sees things differently and definitely has their own sense of photographic style.

week of photos:1

hello there. i am sorry for this late post, but i have been trying to do 5 different things at once this evening.

this week will be all about inspiring images. the top photo is heather's version of our inspired project. i just love the way she photographed it on her wood table. the next two images are from

a japanese book. the title is only written in japanese, but it seems to be a compilation of images from the magazine ku:nel. the bottom photo is from jay waldron.

more tomorrow...

p.s. jen stopped by for breakfast today, i wonder who'll be coming over tomorrow.

march: inspired

hi there. this image is heather's first contribution for our march inspired project. isn't it so delicate and lovely. click the image to see it larger. she will be posting my image here soon.

i can't wait to share some amazing japanese inspiraton with you all this week. i finally made it up to the new 3-story kinokuniya and i could not help myself. i had to buy 3 new books and 2 notebooks. i'm an addict.

i am also excited to be celebrating my 1st year anniversary this week over here. thank you so much for visiting and playing along with another one of my addictions. i will be celebrating all week with special guests {starting tomorrow}.

have a good one!

i was so delighted when i opened my first package from heather with her response to my photo. you can see it larger here. isn't it so beautiful. for an explanation of our inspired project, go here. it is even more lovely in person with the different layers and textures.

be sure to check heather's blog later today, she will be posting my response.

and on monday, we will be posting our beginning march photos.
also check in at simply breakfast this week, where i will be celebrating my one year anniversary!
