so happy to see OUI soy candles in the sweetest little new york shop, duo. if you're in the neighborhood (the east village, to be exact), please go take a whiff! xx

this weekend, we got to spend a lot of time with my husband's smart & sassy (& incredibly beautiful) baby sister. we built tents, dressed up in sequins, played with pretty rocks, climbed in boxes, pulled puppies in little wagons, ate nachos... really fun times!

today's necklace! i whipped it up this morning. :)

excited to see my products (scarves, soy candles, & pillows!) merchandised in a store. :)
also happy about how my glazed beads turned out! there will be some new necklaces in my future....

spending far too much time indoors due to the excessive heat. i live for summer. i love being outdoors... barefeet, swimming, barbeques, tennis, bike rides, hikes, road trips... being stuck inside right now feels so unnatural.

saturday glaze fest.

mr. moboto. :)

"it needs tiny flowers."

daily reminder.

packing up a shop order. pretty sure it's time to update the work space...

last night, i finally got tired of guessing about the dishes... so, i made a little clean/dirty tag. :)

new plant!

love this fall vena cava dress & print.

summer nails.


toes, too. :)

happy weekend!

my july 14th back-up has carried into july 15th. backing up makes me want to HACK UP my computer. (not really, computie! i didn't mean it! you're a good girl & you serve me well!!!) ugh.

holy moly! how perfect are these margiela shoes!!!? i think they were made for me. (alas, not for my current budget.)


found here via rennes' beautiful "leaving the house" outfit. :)

behold...


my first pot!

so happy to get a little blog love about our first anniversary dinner from the fine folks at the (very) soon to be launched kinfolk magazine!

from kinfolk:
"Kinfolk is a growing community of artists with a shared interest in small gatherings... Every element of Kinfolk – the features, photography, and general aesthetics – are consistent with the way we feel entertaining should be: simple, uncomplicated, and less contrived. Kinfolk is the marriage of our appreciation for art and design and our love for spending time with family and friends."

i'm looking forward to what they bring to the not-so-metaphorical table. contributors include an array of talented artists, photographers, videographers, designers, & bloggers, like jen causey of the makers project.
kinfolk mag launches this friday, but you can check out their blog & cute trailer now. :) xx
