This morning while do errands I saw what I’m guessing was an albino crow. I seem to be crossing paths with all sorts of albino creatures lately. This summer there was an albino fawn down at the stables where we ride. Anyhow, Albino Crow would make a great band name, no?
Sometimes it’s the littlest things that get me giddy. For instance, these brass pencil sharpeners I recently got from Brook Farm General Store. With two kids, both with nightly homework, pencil sharpeners are a hot commodity around here and mine seem to always be wandering off and disappearing. So, these lovely brass ones are going straight to my studio.
Our family is now the proud new owners of a baby guinea pig. This is what happens when your child’s fish dies and is still upset a couple weeks later (because we can’t ‘replace’ fishy).
Meet Napoleon…
I’m kinda sweet on the little guy and our dog is OBSESSED with him (in a good?, I want to sleep with him every night and be his bestest friend sort of way).
Have a wonderful fall weekend!
Did you know today is the 50th anniversary of Breakfast at Tiffany’s? Well in honor of that, here is a pic I took of my very own little Holly Golightly when she was probably 4 years old.
Ah, Friday. I picked my husband up at the airport this morning. He’s been in Asia for the past few weeks, so this weekend we will be adjusting to having him back around (what my friend calls ‘re-entry’)! Oh, we will also be burrying our beloved ‘fishy’ who died a few days ago. He was a guppy my daughter had gotten in the 2nd grade, so he was around 4 years old, a good long life for a fish, I’d say.
Here were some of my favorite pins this week, have a lovely weekend…
1. I love the title of this book, so true, don’t you think? ‘A Perfectly Kept House Is The Sign of a Mispent Life,’ found here
2. Obsessed with Cy Twombly right now
3. This outfit says fall to me, found here
some new paintings I’ve been working on…
Head on over to A Cup of Jo for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to my etsy shop! Just leave a comment there.
Good luck!
Everyone is feeling a bit better around here today, yay! So, I thought I’d share some of my favorite pins this week.

I mean, really, this was meant to be mine, no? I love the orange jacket!

Now, in all honesty, my fellow book clubbers do read the books. It is just I who has failed to finish even one (!) book for club this year.
A stupid virus is making its way through our family, making me its latest victim. Ugh, we’re only two weeks into the school year and it’s already starting…
see you tomorrow for a big giveaway!
Ok, so I am a bit late to the party here, but I am just in love with Bon Iver. It has been the soundtrack to my day lately, so beautiful…
I was reminded recently by a pin on pinterest how much I love Lindsey Adelman’s light fixtures. I especially love that she gives instructions on her website on how to make your own. Thinking this sconce might work nicely in my studio…
We took a quick getaway this weekend. We were just 20 minutes from our house, but it was the perfect little mini vacation to enjoy the sun before the kids head back to school.
Forgive me for my summer laziness around these parts. We’re in the last stretch of summer break and as much as I enjoy having the kids around, I’m looking forward to the daily routine of school. So next week I will finally (FINALLY) share all the pieces I worked on last spring and this summer. A small preview here, but they will all be up and for sale on September 1st. Have a wonderful weekend (here’s one of my personal favs)
We took our annual camping trip this past weekend. Of course, my son was the one to end up falling into the freezing river, but luckily was grabbed by my daughters quick hands. As summer inches towards the close, I find myself swaying between the exhaustion of juggling kids and work, and rushes of inspiration, ideas and a love for what I do.
If you know where that title comes from, you are either:
a. atleast as old as I and/or
b. as big a geek as I
anyhow… plugging away on a million projects, trying not to let my head explode. I hope your week is off to a good start!
Another busy day today, have a happy weekend!
(photo is what was left behind on my work suface after finishing up a project yesterday)
Every summer goes faster than the last. We’ve had a really nice one so far, but definitely at a break neck pace. That’s what it feels like, anyhow. Between family getaways, the kids’ summer camps, riding and working, I barely know what day it is. Happily, even with how busy we’ve been, I think it has been one of the best. I really want to finally share some pieces I did earlier in the summer and have them available for sale by the end of the weekend, that’s the goal anyway. We’ll see how it goes!
I first saw images of this on pinterest and was immediately intrigued. These are posters are for a new single by the band Dry the River in collaboration with Xavier Barrade of FOAM. So brilliant…
Photos from the weekend…
