nerves, part 3.

{via}
She was not so sure what time it was. Or day. If she thought hard enough, she was fairly certain that it must be Friday.
She was standing on a roof overlooking Main Street. There was a menthol burning sickly sweet and caustic in one hand, the smoke curling up and into the humidty of her [...]

Wanted Wednesday – Louis Reith

{louis reith via Design Dig}
I’m really liking these works by Louis Reith – we haven’t put up any art on the walls at the new house yet, and we’re trying to decide what exactly we want up and where. Perhaps I can get one of these into the mix… 
It’s raining hard again here for the 3rd [...]

Belated Monday Must Have -Sunja Link

{sunja link}
I think these are just the right colors to go from summer to fall. I have a beautiful olive colored Sunja Link jacket that I bought at Nokomis this summer, but what I wouldn’t do for the grey one in the first photo. Lovely, and beautiful styling too. 
Wish me luck today blogettes, I’m interviewing [...]

things unsaid.

{via catherine kennedy garrett}
I really did have full intentions of posting about our trip, about our adventures. I wanted an excited three part story that detailed the fun, the restaurants, the mishaps. But the farther away it got, the longer I waited to write about it.. the less I wanted to. 
Once when I was little, [...]

These 3d sculptures are photo collages… they are also blowing my mind.

home slice

Hello ladies and gents! A few little snips from our new home, filled with airplants and the most incredible sunlight. We only have a few boxes left to unpack, but recently discovered (to our delight) that behind one of them was a dishwasher! This is exciting and exhilarating news. *smile* I am recuperating slowly from a bout of the [...]

smoted.

{life}
Remember when I was all excited about internet? Remember how that was days ago and then I disappeared? I have no internet.
What I do have however:
- three floors of hillbilly neighbors intent on killing me with cigarette smoke, j-Lo circa 1999 and screaming children.
- new cabinets that swing out way farther than I anticipated or my muscle [...]

Inspiration: Richard Barnes

I’ve been trying to choose just one series from Richard Barnes‘ work to show you, but I just can’t. So I’m taking two from each to show you – it really is worth it to peruse the rest of the photos.

Richard Barnes’ amazing photos of thousands of starlings “murmuring” over Rome.
The images in the “Refuge” [...]

And on the 6th Day

Darlings, you must have been praying/drinking extra hard, because we have internet. Given, we still don’t have stuff, heat, food, and I’m still going to bed fully dressed to stay warm during the night – but we have internet. Which makes me feel just a little more connected and a titch bit happier. I start [...]

Camping.

{ray fenwick}
Hello lovelies. I am currently pressed as closely to the wall as I can with my trusty computer attempting to keep my internet connection with the “McFerguson Family” network who has so kindly forgotten to password protect their internet. Bless you. Just stopping in – the last few days were a bit like a [...]

Inspiration – Thomas Nozkowski

Jared and I went to the National Gallery last night to see the Nozkowski exhibit, and it didn’t disappoint. The man has been making these incredible abstract paintings for over 20 years, and the collection of 60+ curated and exhibited works was simply awesome. See a neat little five minute interview with him here.

No Full Stops – Bus Blinds

{economica}
I really like these vintage bus blinds from Economica. They were featured in this weeks News, and I can’t stop going back to look at them. They’re a little out of my price range, but still incredible inspiration.

through the fog

{miel et cannelle}
An incredible fog rolled onto Old Orchard beach as we went for our final dip in the salty ocean. The lights of the midway behind us lit everything up – it was eerie and beautiful and magic. xo

the maine event – part one: an assumptive junkie

{miel et cannelle}
While my belief in a higher power at all is suspect, that belief is exponentially stronger when it comes to thinking of a vengeful higher power. At least, these were my thoughts as I was struck down with the most vicious sinus cold I’d ever had, and was left unable to taste anything [...]
