- Sweet Silhouettes, something for everyone!
Silhouettes are such elegant distillations — like the tree in the clipping above, which is such a beautiful representation of a tree. I clipped the image above out of an Air France magazine last year — I thought it was such a smart use of silhouettes (and the jewels are gorgeous, too). While on vacation, we [...]

I think this is a great way to fill a large wall, to showcase a collection, your children’s art, your travel photos, family snapshots. I believe in living with photographs (and memories, I guess). I’ve never seen the point of photo albums you only look at every other year. I’m thinking about [...]

8 days of pure vacaction!!!! I’m packed up, checked the work email one last time and I’m ready for a break. We’ll spend 4 days at the lake in NH, 4 days with my parents in N.C. and then back to NY to recover for a day. NH has me thinking of [...]
Fri, 29 Jun 2007 04:55:24 +0000 - Day jobs and afterhours
We have our day jobs and then we have what we do at the end of the day. Afterhours, my friend Karen is a fashion designer, my sister Tate is a filmmaker, my husband a graphic designer. It seems everyone I know is juggling two (or more) parts of themselves. And, increasingly, we’re all proud of each. But, [...]

So, in my Flickr searches I stumbled upon the Re-Ment Addict Pool and just had to look them up. A japanese minatures company, their website sheds some light on why I’m so drawn to miniatures. “Your world, your memories… in miniature”. It all comes back to memory with me. I’m fascinated with the human desire [...]

Via Flickr some delicious miniature rooms to inspire. I can’t quite tell you what fascinates me about mini models of everyday things. My favorite of the lot is the first image which is a model of the kitchen at Monet’s house outside Paris. I was charmed by its yellow cheeriness when I saw it in [...]

The Hutton couch arrived on Saturday at 8:49am via two very nice Room and Board delivery folks. First came the awesome blue seat cushion… the color looked as amazing as we thought it would. 9:04am the couch makes it through the front doors. 9:10am the couch won’t make it though the second doorway (1 inch [...]

After a long hiatus I’ve made some new abigail cards, inspired by high school science. They are up on etsy, too. While most of my old cards are from wallpaper or gocco‘d, these are professionally printed and usher in a new era of abigail cards. With school and work and the new [...]

This russian nesting doll pillow from Urban Outfitters.com caught my eye this morning as I was trying to throw out catalouges old mail and generally tidy up. I had a set when I was 5 and loved the nesting aspect. This pillow is fun (the couch will be delivered in 10 DAYS!!!). Not to mention, I’m [...]
Fri, 08 Jun 2007 15:54:17 +0000 - Inspired: vintage snapshots
While I try not to “collect” things (bad feng shui, I hear), I do have a growing pile of snapshots I’ve picked up here and there when my will is weak. Or, if the pile in the flea market is big enough and I have the pleasure of winnowing down to a few really wonderful [...]
