Sometimes, something is so beautiful that I can’t put it into words. All I can do is respond to my embarrassing and overwhelming desire to eat it. I know, I’ve got some problems. When I l...
Normally I write my wrap-up posts on Friday afternoon before I head out the door, but I had to cheat and write this one early. I prepped ahead of time because I’m currently on the road to Brimf...

Sometimes when I see a new product, I smile at the screen and yell, “It’s about time!” back at my email. For as long as Ikea has existed, those of us who obsess about design have be...

The rain has finally stopped in Brooklyn so I think it’s time to stretch my legs and leave the couch I’ve been slowly sinking into. Before I call it a day, I wanted to wrap up this week w...

We don’t post a ton of weddings, but this small one on Bainbridge Island stood out for me. I always get excited to see a submission from One Love Photo because I know the images will be wonderf...
I’m always sad to leave Savannah, but today, Amy and I are finally heading back home for a few days off before next week’s trek to Georgia and Alabama. It’s hard to articulate how a...
I’ve always been curious about embroidery. It’s something I love and appreciate in other people’s work, but rarely have the time or motivation to learn on my own. Starting small see...
