Such a touching post! I read something yesterday that has stayed with me, "Anger is a habit." It was a reminder of how easy it is to be unhappy, to get in a rut-- but we can break the habit if we choose. Your post touches me in the same way. I've been struggling for a few weeks since my husband and I moved abroad, but then I read about emotional habits, and then the next day my husband unexpectedly brought me breakfast in bed (which he has never done in our 10 years together). All of these little things have come together at the same time and I feel it's time to break the habit and hold onto happiness for awhile. :)

The Days of Our Lives
Last night, I stood by the gate with my mother and took this picture in one direction. Then I turned around in the other and took this one: Lest you think that with time and repetition, the beauty here at our house in Italy stops having an effect on me, let me assure you: It leaves me speech...
The bunnies are so wonderful! I would love to have one too!

Cold. Snap!
Cold! I like it! It feels like winter! There was black bean soup, lasagnas, hot tea and cinnamon rolls, Andy-made risotto, and cupcakes. There was a crackling fire in the fireplace most days, and glowing sunsets, and scarves and gloves, and I took one of my fa...
I love your last bit about dreaming big! It reminds me of something Donald Trump said, "If you're going to think, you might as well think BIG." As I look back on 2012 I'm proud of my first year earning an income as a freelance photographer and writer. For 2013 I'm focused on pushing myself even harder to grow in my craft and create great work. I've also got to commit to taking control of the financial aspect of my biz. It's going to be an epic year!

let's do this, 2013!
Happy New Year guys! For the last several years, I've been anti-New Year's resolutions. I felt like I was telling myself to do the same things year after year, and that they should be things I work on all the time—not just at the beginning of the year. But lately I've come back around, and I thi...
This year I'm especially attracted to the handmade when it comes to Christmas decor. As in years past, I'll be baking Nigella Lawson's ginger cookie Christmas ornaments and hanging them on the tree (she calls for plenty of black pepper in them so kids won't eat them!). I've been inspired by all the handmade advent calendars and will spend some time making my own today. Happy holidays!

christmas decorations 2012
I started decorating early this year, and though I still have a few things to do, I am having fun making my house slightly more festive. I don't like to go overboard since my house already has a lot of color and pattern going on and I don't want it to look too crazy. I like my Christmas decor...

Just in time for Thanksgiving, I've got a delicious apple tart to share! I ate this for dinner one night. It's SO yummy and it happens to be gluten free. The honey creme fraiche is the perfect touch! Oh how I love creme fraiche! Thanks to the wonderful Jenni Grishman for creating this recipe a...

You might know I love mixing and matching color and pattern in my wardrobe and in my home. I find so much inspiration on what works from brands who really push the envelope and who aren't afraid to really shake things up. Ban.do always does an amazing job when it comes to hair accessories, ...

For the last few months, I've been working with the wonderful Hannah of Hetterson to create some new projects and inspirational editorials for Frolic! The idea behind these posts is to provide accessible wardrobe ideas as well as little take-away projects for you. Today, we are pleased to sha...
So pretty! I love decorating cakes (and salads) with pansies. Occasionally I find tiny tiny ones at the farmer's market and they are so fun to play with.

I love buying pretty sweets from my favorite bakery and adding my own touch to them! Pansies are a beautiful, edible flower that make great decorations on baked goods. You can see more of this story I created, over at Project Wedding. P.S. Another fun idea: A Strawberry Wildflower Cake! Photo...

I am always thrilled to talk about homegrown Oregon companies! Today I am sharing a few of my favorite bags from the new fall collection at Ellington Handbags. Based in Oregon since the '80's, Ellington is well known for creating bags that are beautiful, functional and...
I really enjoyed that piece in kinfolk, and it's neat to read a little more about it here.

the woodsman market
Several months ago, I worked with Lisa Warninger on an article for Kinfolk about my favorite little grocer in town, The Woodsman Market. I can't really take any credit for it, as Lisa snapped the gorgeous photos of the market as is (no styling needed!). The lovely Alyson of Unruly Things was o...
So inspiring! Thanks for sharing this.

freilandmuseum lehde
On Saturday, my friend, Juliane, and I went out to Freilandmuseum Lehde in the Spreewald. It's a little museum that shows houses and farms of the area through history. I've always loved living history museums and often imagine myself living a modern-day version of this simple style of living....

It's that time of year— that time when just about every berry you can imagine is in season. When roadside stands are overflowing with all types of fresh fruit. Just this past weekend I found, tayberries, black, golden and red raspberries, pink gooseberries, wild blueberries and tiny black curr...

I loved all the strawberry cakes during Midsummer in Sweden so I thought it would be fun to create my own version. I decorated this one for a Project Wedding article about wedding cakes but it could be created for any summer party! My friend Juliane, was kind enought to model for me, help wi...

a visit to cottbus
Over the weekend I went to Cottbus with my friend Juliane and her mom. It's a charming little city along The Spree River in Brandenburg, Germany. We had Turkish food and visited the museum there where they had an exhibit of Manfred Butzmann's work which I loved. I just wish I could understan...

a trip to the peony farm
Last Friday I went with the lovely Jess to the Adelman Peony Farms. Sadly the fields were all done for the season, but they had about 100 different varieties on display, from pale single petateled pink ones to oranges and yellows with fluffs of petals. We ooohed and ahhed and promise...
Cherries are my absolute favorite during summer and I love this idea! Beautifully styled and photographed as always. I think I'll be making this recipe for the weekend.

{flavor stories} chocolate & cherry pudding...
To me, dessert makes just about any dinner better! That said, I often find there's not enough time to make both from scratch. So, this recipe for chocolate pudding is not only delicious, but it's also really quick to prepare. Make the pudding just before you start preparing your main course, a...
