Friday Wishful Thinking: Norway

Wintry weather's got me imagining travel to cooler climes. Fjords, glaciers, the Northern Lights, the sun at midnight - I've never seen any of these wonders, and I sure wanna go to Norway so I can. It's seemed like a magical nature wonderland since I first read Roald Dahl's Boy... Continue reading

Calligraphy Practice: Inspired by The Man in Black

I've taken a few calligraphy lessons and been practicing my Copperplate plenty, filling up pages with the same letter over & over again. But when I'm done with practicing fancy, traditional letters, I like to reward myself with a fun, unstructured practice doodle. It's the same feeling I used to... Continue reading

Friday Wishful Thinking: Outdoor Rooms

Aw, man. The end of summer is definitely palpable. I've been thinking about squeezing every last bit of outdoor time out of the days of lovely warm weather we've got before fall arrives. I've always been attracted to the idea of outdoor rooms, particularly outdoor bedrooms and sleeping porches. I... Continue reading

DIY Thread-Wrapped Air Plant Hangers

I have to 'fess up: this DIY was totally inspired by my '90s childhood. Like most girls, I was pretty into friendship bracelets and hair wraps. Frankly, I'm still pretty into friendship bracelets, although I draw the line at hair wraps. And overalls. So far. I've wanted to add some... Continue reading

That definitely seems like a possible solution! In that case, I would recommend carefully gluing down the edges of the fabric as close to the edge of the shade as possible to prevent the edges from curling over time.

From Sad Sack to Rad Backpack: Breathing New Life into My Baggu

It's no secret: Baggus are my jam. I try to keep one of their nylon bags on me at all times so I never, ever need to use a disposable plastic or paper one. When the drawstring on my favorite Baggu backpack broke, it was a bummer. But it also... Continue reading

Summer Treat: A Healthier Eton Mess

Whaaaaaa, you say? I'll explain. First, a little backstory: one of my favorite desserts in NYC is the Blackberry Eton Mess Fool at Peels.
