Yearly Archives: 2006

Whew…I feel like I have been to the moon and back over these last five days! Two five and a half hour flights in three days left me with the worst case of jet lag I’ve ever experienced. But the part in between the flights was lovely. The Royalton bumped me up to a “junior…

Howdy ladies (and howdy gawking gents), Since Emily is off the grid, I thought I would share a photo from a wedding shoot a few weeks ago. Cheers,Rob

Jennifer Kellogg is a designer whose work plays with the concept of jewelry. Most of her cheeky trompe l’oeil work involves necklaces that made of “diamonds.” I like this collection, but it is really more interesting than beautiful. Very MOMA jewelry collection. The emerald series is different. Using silver and enamel, this collection is lovely.…

Pottery Barn is having a great sale (thanks for the tip Trent!). These folding silver frames are a favorite pick. I have a tiny silver frame that holds four photos on my desk at work, this one would be even better. I am tempted to buy two; one for myself and one to put in…

Jean is settling in to North Carolina and starting to work on her house. Which for Jean, means mostly painting a lot of things bright green 😉 She asked this morning for some help finding a way to brighten up the wall lamps in her living room. As you can see in this photo, they…

What a wild weekend! Everything went just perfectly and all our extra help made the wedding really special. You can see all the photos online here. Rob and I picked up the flowers at 4:30 on Friday and loaded up the Miata. We blasted the air conditioning the whole way to keep the bouquet as…

It’s been another busy week here in San Francisco. Between planning this weekends wedding and getting ready for New York next week, I’ve been swamped. Here’s some of the lessons I learned: The people at Church Street Flowers are nice. The rental shoes at the rock climbing gym are disgusting! Interior decorating with Photoshop is…
