Yearly Archives: 2008

I so, so wish I had the chance to buy this vintage camera poster when it was up for sale in June. The artist, Rod Hunting, only made 100 for sale at $35 each.

I keep forgetting that it is still winter in most of the country. We’ve been so lucky here with sunny days in the 60’s all week. In comparison, it’s 30 degrees in Buffalo right now. Cheryl is going there in a few weeks: My husband and I are going away for a weekend alone in…

San Francisco is so funny sometimes. It really brims with character. The last few days have demonstrated some prime reasons why I love this city: 1. Because a pink-chandeliered night club shares its space with a baja-style taco shack during the day. 2. Because my street smells like orange blossoms all summer long. 3. Because…

Kathi has done a lot of thinking about her style dilemma : I’m a borderline “petite” 5’4″ mom of 2 (2 1/2 and 5 yrs old), 38 years old and I’ve lost my fashion way (I’m a pretty good editor, I know what I like when its on me, but not terrific about coming up…

A friend of mine recently came into a great deal of cinnamon by accident. 36 bags worth thanks to a Amazon miscalculation. I took a couple bags with the idea of making cinnamon ornaments (Did you also make them in preschool?). It’s too bad valentine’s day already passed, a spicy cinnamon heart would be cute.…

But for these small mailers, I just need plain old stamps. This Louis Comfort Tiffany design is the right style and era for our venue. You can…

I don’t really go for the hype that as soon as you get engaged you need to launch a full body enhancement program. Teeth whitening, invisalign, 6am fitness boot camp, laser hair removal, etc. I’ll pass. But I did decide to get a couple things zapped off my face this year. It was #6 on…

After our ceremony outside, I think we’ll have our guests toss birdseed as we walk down the aisle. These simple paper cone packages would be ideal for packages of seeds on each seat.

I have a hard time choosing outfits for warm weather. My Scottish nature does better bundled up. Christina has the same issue: I love the winter, and I love dressing for cold weather. I have lots of warm clothes, and more importantly, outfits for warm clothes. Unfortunately, it’s been strangely warm lately, and it’s only…
