Happy New Year! Our 2011 was so out of the ordinary for us, it was enjoyable but challenging at times. I am so grateful for the experience of moving to a new country and working for Free People, but ...
This was supposed to be a Halloween post, but of course, other things came up. In October, my Mom, Nana, and Papa came down to visit us for (Canadian) Thanksgiving dinner, and we had such a great tim...
Back to work today after a whole week off, but it wasnt for a vacation unfortunately... Last Friday my Nana went into the hospital, and when I got there to see her on Saturday, she was already gone. ...
I have been doing a little fun project lately (its actually more of a giant project, I dont know why I called it little). I am researching my familys geneaology, more specifically my Nanas family. Sh...
I have been looking forward to visiting Terrain for so long! Its a good 40 minutes out of the city though, so we havent had the chance (without a car). This past weekend Jorys parents came to visit, ...
I have been wanting to share some of my work at Free People for a while, and I have finally gotten around to collecting some of it (were busy over here!). Here are some emails and gateways (for the w...
Sometimes I photograph our bi-weekly walk to the Urban Farm to pick up our CSA share, in Fishtown. Fishtown is mainly residential, but there are still some very industrial parts of it on the fringe, ...
After relaxing and walking in Central Park for half the day, we made our way to the Lower East Side and Chinatown by subway. I really wanted to go there after reading the book 97 Orchard, which I rea...
We had a nice time in New York yesterday, much of which turned out to be a park day. Our first stop (as usual) was Kinokuniya to pick up some gifts and check out some pens. Then we crossed over to Br...
I take a lot of pictures, but some of them dont really tell much of a story. I thought I would share a few of what has been surrounding us lately. Above is from a recent trip to New York, where I har...
Last year we had the most amazing, fruitful, and food-filled summer. I think back to it so fondly and it seems like it was so far away, visiting cottages and spending time in Niagara with family. We ...
I am so excited to be collaborating with the new Kinfolk magazine! Such a beautiful idea, this magazine is all about spending time with those close to you--its about those simple, intimate gatherings...

This will be my second post tagged "travel," which is basically accurate to the amount of globetrotting I have done in my life. But that number is slowly growing, because I am making a concer...
Finally finished this collage I have been working on for a while, I had to search high and low for the pieces I was looking for. I need to get back to collaging!
Last weekend was pretty wonderful! I threw Jory a surprise birthday party and our friends came down on the bus from Toronto (and 1 from San Francisco!) They were a few hours late and the surprise was...

I know a lot of people have been doing this sidewalk/yard sale thing online, and I dont know if anyone is interested in my stuff, but I figured it was worth a go! After going through my things I real...
We sold a lot of books when we moved, and we kept a select few, and I am determined to read them! I first read John Wyndham in grade 9, The Chrysalids, and I loved it. Since then, thanks to Jory I ha...
Japan has been on my mind a lot lately--wait, may I rephrase that, Japan is always on my mind. We really enjoyed living vicariously through John and Julis recent honeymoon trip to Japan (since our ho...
Last weekend we took a little trip to Manayunk, a quaint kind of touristy town on the outskirts of Philadelphia. Its one of the places we were looking at moving to when we came here, but it is defini...

This is a post about our first trip to New York City together, mostly aimless wanderings and very tired feet. We took the bus for free, thanks to a megabus promotion, and we walked around all day wit...
I am kind of obsessed with Pinterest right now. I didnt think I would be... I knew about it for a little while, but discounted it because I am a member of every social network-integrated website ever...
I had this dress planned so long ago, about the time I took the Japanese Dress Class at the workroom last summer! I already had my fabric purchased (on etsy, a neat vintage floral) and the pattern (t...
First things first--sorry for my absence, I lost my confidence in my personal blog a bit I guess, and I havent posted in a while. I really wanted a redesign, because I need to redesign my websites on...
We didnt get very many Christmas presents this year--mostly because we were away from our family and friends--but the ones we did get were great and made us feel so special! Our friend Petra gave us ...
This year has undoubtedly been a whirlwind, filled with the unexpected (good and bad of course), and we made so so many changes to our life. While its crazy and so hard to be away from family and fri...
