play creatively
My good friend Jordan Daines has had a delectable grouping of enviable artwork stashed in her kitchen that I have wanted to get my hands on for some time. Well lucky for us she’s hauling them out and offering them up for auction…with starting bids that will make you squeal with delight! Jordan’s husband Matt …
We are planning on having a fun filled day with our birthday boy today. I’m thinking a little Despicable Me, a little Thai food and a little present giving should make the day merry and cheerful. Oh and Coconut Cream Donut “cake” as requested by little A (and heartily agreed to by Jon. Little A …
I’ve been playing around with watercolors lately and these two paintings, Beth of Billings Hill and Eleanor, are the result of some of my experimenting. I’m really becoming quite the fan of watercolor and gouache. I’ve always been an acrylic kind of girl when it comes to painting, so it’s been a fun challenge to …
Be they fabric or oil based, it’s official, I’m obsessed with paint pens. The possible applications for these snazzy little markers are truly endless (and SO not messy…big plus).

Before having children I’d dream of taking my darling, quiet and adoring children to the library. There they would search the endless stacks of bound treasures with reverent wonder. Together we would select some of our favorite finds and travel off to imaginary places as I read to them in a quiet, tucked away nook. …
These are in progress (I want to add a splash of color) but I thought it would be fun to share, on this Tuesday morning, these little ladies who will soon be in the shop! Stay tuned.
Is it bad that I want my children to attend Montessori schools just because their equipment is so darn cool!? No, but seriously, I’m really getting into the philosophy behind Montessori schooling (why must it cost so much?…sigh). It’s just a nice perk that the activities are so aesthetically pleasing. I might be playing with …
